I thought these were pretty common until Scaff (?) got one and I saw the relatively low production numbers. Anyone else see these commonly?

Conversion job:

Also a conversion? I don't believe it had the RUF logo anywhere apart from the wheels.

These were the past few days actually.

Fahrenheit GTI, only 1,200 made

Audi S5? For some reason everytime I see this car I think its the first time. I'm not sure if there common or not.

What part of the state are you? I wonder if that's the same Fahrenheit that was at the dealer in Holland for a while a couple years ago.

But both the S5 and GTIs are quite common around import-friendly Seattle. Probably good spots for Michigan though. It took 5 months of my freshman year to spot my first GTI out there.

I don't usually post without a picture, but I think this warrants a mention. Yesterday afternoon I spotted a Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta going in the opposite direction on a flatbed truck. What an unbelievable machine! I couldn't believe my eyes. Will post my feeble pic later.

Umm...On Sunday I passed a flatbed truck with a red 250 on the back. Not even kidding. I know it's more logical that we saw two totally different cars but wouldn't it be a strange coincidence if someone over here bought a 250 and had it shipped from Hong Kong?
 
Could it have been headed to Monterey for the show down there? I know they have a bunch of Ferraris there from all over the world.
 
It was on Sunday, so it would have been way late. And it was coming off the highway. More than likely it was headed to the Lemay household. They're up in North Tacoma not too far from me. And the 32nd LeMay Car Show and Auction is on the 29th.
 

Arrr....:drool: Love flat-nose....


Everytime I go to this place called "Mongkok" in Hong Kong I alwasy count on seeing a few good cars, so like every other time I went I took my camera...

Unfortunately this time I didn't see as many as I hoped, and I missed a black Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. But I think the ones I did manage to capture will make up for lost ones.

So I saw this as I was driving through traffic after the gym, at first I though that it just had one hell of a stance on it, and then I realised... It was pulling a caravan.

My first though was El Dorado, but I don't really have a clue.

Apoligees for the photos, phone is definetly in need of replaces (Walkman SE K750i!!)
 
It's a 70's Chevy Monte Carlo, towing a caravan no less.

Hope you had a good time. One of your shots is just around the corner from my house...

I had a great time, other than our hotel being a remodelled 70's apartment and being smack dab in the Church-Wellesley district. If I ever get around to it I'll make a thread about our drinking holiday.

A bit late but lovin that cuda spot Joey D, finally a good car in this thread :sly:

Pretty much the sole reason I photographed it was because I knew you would like it.

A4 DTM? Seems like they sold many here as I see them a lot. A client has a blue one.

Hey, Paul I didn't tell you I saw a white 500 Abarth in Wanchai the other day! I believe it's the only one in HK right now. btw we need to meet up for a beer again soon.

It's an S4 40th Anniversary, which is pretty much the same thing as the A4 DTM that was sold a year or two before it. 250 were made of each edition. It could just be that my market got a strangely high allotment.

If it's an S4 then it's already more special than the DTM, as I'm fairly sure the DTM was a regular 4-cyl turbo one (180-ish horsepower).
 
Just for general interest's sake, I saw this 240' yacht the other day. Pretty impressive, in the top hundred in the world and the biggest yacht built in the USA since the 1920s.

Great, don't think I've seen one in person yet. I'm free this Thursday and Friday, got time for a few pints?
 
Nice photos Dac_Xint, keep up that quality will you. :cheers:

V8 Vantage which had N400 (clear rears) clear rear lights. Could possibly be an N400 but I highly doubt it.



And a cropped image, only some Mercedes I saw while doing my Wednesday run.

Please explain to me how the hell is it possible to do more work to a Novitec Rosso F430, in Hong Kong, where exotic car drivers barely ever drives these cars any more than 50kph... unless its a bumper repair from poor parking 💡

Lol, nevertheless, cool spot! where was this seen?
 
Near work in Taikoo Shing. I think they're doing damage repairs or a service.

M3 CSL just now outside my office
