I like the drifter with a Jimmy Johns sign, It would have been like 1000X cooler though if he drifted while delivering a sub.
 
All these mass-production cars and no love for the Corvette GS...C'mon guys, nobody has anything awesome down here. :lol:

Yeah, I know. Had a bit of a brain-fart. Unfortunately it's not an LM version, I was a definate respray in a different blue but the camera doesn't really pick it up.

There are so many R33 LM wannabes out there, thanks primarily to Gran Turismo, R33 owners was finally shown a way to get some more street cred illegitimately...

Fiat 500, the original one.

GT3RS! How cool is that?!?!

Beautiful cars, great spot buddy!!

Some spots from me, nothing special, I did miss a 430 but it's not like we don't have enough supercars here. I'll just post what I think is Interesting:

HK Police going UK style?

Some small cars I think would be quite popular in Europe:
Toyota Porte

Toyota Passo

Audi A4 (with a very loud turbo)

A very bad ass looking BMW 330i (one on right that actually looks like a BMW, in case of any clever jokes that would otherwise undoubtedly ensue from this community :D)

Mitsubishi Airtrek (outlander) Turbo R on RAYS Volk CE28 Lookalikes?

Ok thought so. The buildings look fimiliar. Have you been to the shows every Saturday there?

They still have shows there? Wow, I figured the owners would have kicked them out. I used to stop by when I was cruising Woodward, but we got harassed by the owners and police way to much. Typically I stick to downtown Birmingham when I go cruising for the night.

Perhaps it was a Volt mule? I know GM has been stuffing Volt drivelines in Cruzes for testing:

Could be, I didn't even think about that.

Yep, every Saturday 9 -12 they have a little get together. The one show we went to they had a meeting about burnouts and being loud so they wouldn't get in more trouble. But some nice cars show up too more then other shows. Its worth checking out once.
 
I don't think those are CE28 lookalikes, I know there are some other wheels that look just like that, but I don't know of the name.

That's the most Lexus-looking front end ever though. I'd never guess that was a Mitsu.

Maybe next weekend I'll head over there, I know this weekend is the cruise so I'll probably avoid Woodward. Let me know if you ever decide to head over there and we can meet up, I find it odd that I've been a member here so long and have never actually met anyone in person.

Today:

S63 AMG

A red Cayenne, must be an unusual colour

A coincidence?

An orange TTS?

I don't know what I'm going to be doing that day because of the cruise. It kinda throws off everything. I'm not sure what time were heading of there. We might be going over there on the 22nd since it won't be so crowded.
 
Well, the few times I went car spotting I started at Park Lane.
The Dorchester Hotel usually have something exotic

Then walk up to Hyde Park Corner.
Reason is that its a big big traffic circle/roundabout there with traffic lights so cars go slow and stop for good pics XD

Then from there walk to knightsbridge where all the rich people go shopping at Harrods :)

The embassy buildings I assume is the street running from Piccadilly Circus to Hyde Park Corner. Its ok but you'll be better off just standing in the middle of the roundabout at Hyde Park Corner and watch the cars come you you..moving, sound and everything 👍
 
Where has cano bein' hidin' .. I miss his posts.

patience, I've had to process more pictures because I had already gone trough all that were on my photobucket. I have now uploaded more than 500 pictures, mostly newer ones, and I'm now processing almost 2 gygs worth of very old pictures, from my days when I went to the streets to chase down abandoned cars. I'll post A LOT in the future days, specially with two PCs in my house now, one for my wife, one for me.

Awesome spots lately people, but that white 73 Cuda really steals the show... oh, and the Fiat.
 
Ford Bronco 1968

Looks like it's been both used well and well cared-for. 👍


Chevrolet Bel Air 1961

Evolved from sublime to submarine. Damned thing's huge.


Dodge Polara 1964

I wasn't sure what this was until I happened upon the other DYSAGT thread. A Polara 500 this may not be, but this is the first time I've used DYSAGT to ID a car I already shot.


Plymouth Fury III 1966

Needs work, but it's got a killer sequel name.


Plymouth Sport Fury 1969

This one doesn't need as much work.


Pontiac Firebird convertible 1967

Base spec, but perfect for the day. Who could argue with skies like that?


Lastly, an unknown:

I have no idea what this is. I know one thing, though: it's not a taxi.



oh mAN the most awesome post in a long time Harry, some cool cars!!! the Bel Air has the panoramic roof option, very rare, and the unknown, come on man, its an unmistakable Studebaker Champion!!! and the one with the odd rear window, very rare model also!! the "TacoTaxi" stuff is smashing.

I really like the Sport Furys, very cool cars, I have never seen neither, awesome.

Just what is that thing behind the TT? I cannot imagine how anything like that can get from drawing board to highway!

First generation Saturn Vue, it's really not that bad when you consider the other lovely vehicles GM produced in the early part of 2000. I bet I can top that though by taking a picture of something worse.
