Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Golf Fahrenheit GTI, only 1200 made. I've seen two

Some Kia that was halfway covered up. Another one was behind it and they were both dirty and looked like they were long term tested.

 

[Danny]

Kia's are looking better at an alarming rate.

 

[McLaren]

Caught this Scuderia while leaving Bone Daddy's.

 

[Legendary]

Two days ago I saw a car with the plate 'Madonna".

It was a BMW M5 I THINK. Next time I see it I will try and snap it.

 

[TsLeng]

Wedding car, but what car?

XKR

Ducati 848

Passat CC

Kia Soul, first I've ever seen

Elise

Gallardo

Red Red Red...Got this as its a coilour I've never seen before...

 

[Dragonistic]

I still don't see why people like the Veyron, I think it's pretty ugly to be honest. Would much rather rock the 599 it's parked by.

 

[TsLeng]

It may look ugly and all, but its still a piece of fantastic engineering not to mention one of the fastest car money can buy.

But I do like the 599 and the Pearl white is gorgeous. Droolss

 

[Dac_Xint]

Absolutely beautiful white Rolls Royce and white 599, not to mention the G-Class at the back... is that guy checking out the little kid? and whats up with the white cones....? Lovely flowers at the back I gotta say...


Great spots man, I wish I knew where to go to see this many good cars in London. This post has made my day.

 

[TsLeng]

Yups they were checking out the cars.
I took this at the Dorchester Hotel. The rest at my usual Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge..etc

 

[Brett]

Cadillac EXT?

Correct.

ID please..

Pretty sure it is a 1965 Chevy Impala. May be wrong on the year, but I am pretty sure it is an Impala.

ID?

Nissan 300ZX of the Z31 generation, which was made between 1983 and 1989.

 

[TsLeng]

Thanks

What's the plate on the Veyron?

And I still have no idea why anyone would want Bad Dental Hygiene White for a car, nevermind a freaking 599. That's the colour old Volvos have turned, and they're 30 year old economy cars. Why would you want that?

 

[Christhedude]

What's the plate on the Veyron?

KSA = Kingdom Saudi Arabia / black plate stands for royalty.
and believe me that the white 599 and the white phantom and the black G55 belong to Saudi's, especially when they're parked infront of Dorchester Hotel!

[Joey D]

That's a long drive, Saudi Arabia to London? Really?

 

[Christhedude]

LOL, do you really think that the son of they King drives 6000km to London?!

They all air transport them there or in most of the cases they live there anyways so they cars are stationed there, otherwise always air transport!

Chris.

btw, in 2007 i drove from Dubai to Paris in my car

Hey you never know, I mean if you are that wealthy what else do you have to do with your time? You might as well buy extremely high end cars and take them for an epic drive...I'd do it.

But ya I can see where one would want to transport their car.

===

From the past week or so.

Civic Wagovan, I haven't seen one of these in a really long time. This one was in good condition too.

R350 AMG, a 510hp crossover? Really?

M6

IS300 Sport Cross, I've maybe see one or two other ones in person.

 

[buickgnx88]

Trike

Typical VW Flat-4 powered with some crappy mufflers.

 

[exigeracer]

R350 AMG, a 510hp crossover? Really?

Did they not make an R55? Has the R350 AMG always been the top-shelf R-Class? Either way, I always laugh when I see R's though because you know someone somehow justified buying a 70,000$ minivan.

PS - anyone seen an E-Class Coupe? I was surprised to see one a couple weeks ago. No photo.

 

[buickgnx88]

Actually the AMG version was the R63, which they don't sell anymore. I believe the best we get now is the R550, and for the R350/500/550, the AMG package is simply the visuals from the R63.

 

[Joey D]

Ah didn't know that.

 

[Fyshokid]

These pictures are actually taken about a month ago, but I forgot to put them up here

First is a Aston Martin DB9:

Some Porsche (don't know the name of it):

And then a completely white Audi R8

 

[buickgnx88]

Some Porsche (don't know the name of it):

'93-'98 Porsche 911 "993" Turbo S

 

[Rue]

Actually that's a Turbo S (side air intake and yellow brake calipers). One of only 183 cars made. Great spot! 👍

EDIT: Some extra info to show you what a special car you saw

Turbo S

During the second to the last year of production of the 993 (1997), Porsche offered the 993 Turbo S. Ultimately 183 cars were sold. The Turbo S is a high-spec Turbo including a power upgrade to 424 hp (SAE) for the American market and to 450 hp (DIN) in other markets. The inclusion of extras including carbonfibre decoration in the interior makes it different from the earlier lightweight, spartan 964 Turbo S. The 993 Turbo S is recognized by yellow brake calipers, a slightly larger rear wing, a 4-pipe exhaust and air scoops behind the doors. This was the last of the air-cooled Turbos. 12 Turbo S cars were delivered to Australia.

Most critics today call it "the best porsche ever made" and that "it will never be defeated."

It was based on the GT2 but with 4WD and it was a bit more luxurious. It has the same brakes as the GT2 and same basic shape as the GT2.

 

[buickgnx88]

My bad, didn't notice the calipers and rear vent.

Yeah I posted one a couple of weeks back. They look pretty good although I think the amount of body between top of the rear wheel well and the window line is way too much...

 

[SPhilli911]

Nice spot on the Turbo S!

 

[Fyshokid]

Thanks alot for the info about the car! I wish I knew a bit more about the cars I post

 

[Rue]

Don't worry, Porsche's are pretty infamous for being hard to identify straight away. I didn't know one from the other a few years ago, it took the GTP Porsche enthusiasts to put me straight. Now I reckon I'm a dab hand at distinguishing between the different flavours of Pork.

 

[Prince.M5]

Right... Today I saw 2 fantastic cars!!!

- Mercedes CLS350 [Black]
- BMW M3 (2) [White and Silver grey]

 

[MatskiMonk]

Aston Marton DBS
Porsche Carrera GT

Both at Silvertone during the BTCC weekend, I was driving, didn't have my camera handy.
