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

[homeforsummer]

The same 360 Spider from the other day but parked in the centre of town. Not a lot of room between that front end and the pavement...

You can even see the badge...

 

[Rykon Zero]

Isn't that a pre-Audi Diablo?

 

[homeforsummer]

Yes. I think Holden was being obtuse

 

[Dac_Xint]

yea I believe so, after having been told by RUE, that would probably be the VW era, or even before that...

Some shots from today:

Daimler/Jaguar X358

Rare red GT

My first California, still not taken...

Another C63 I saw this evening... at least 3 now...

Love them...

The million dollar balcony view

 

[McLaren]

Yes. I think Holden was being obtuse

He was trying to be "funny" be calling it an Audi because of who owns Lamborghini, just like he has before. He doesn't seem to grasp that the Diablo VT Roadster "1st Gens" are pre-Audi cars, though, so he looks rather uninformed than witty....

You can even see the badge...

That's not why I facepalm'd.

Isn't that a pre-Audi Diablo?

That is.

 

[homeforsummer]

Perhaps, though a pinch of salt would have been advised.

Great photos as always, Dac_Xint 👍 Especially the view in the last one!

The million dollar balcony view

Oh my god. win.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Saw an Evo VIII FQ400 tonite, he was doing 30, in a 30 late at night in the outside lane so I gave him a little "buzz" in the inside lane which he didn't take too well...

Though I have to say, those things can launch like nothing but a GTR/Veyron can! Even if he only did it to 40mph

 

[Mirza]

First time I saw a GTR34 in person. A v-spec it seems.

Alfa Romeo SZ, the only one driving on the roads of my country...Looks great.
I always liked this car, so I was very happy when I saw it.

And, while driving my bike round town I found these two beauties rotting. It seems they were standing there for years. Sad to see...

 

[Rue]

Awesome photos for the conditions mate and a nice view! Were you in Tai Hang? Funnily enough I also got a skyline shot from the bar we went to last night (which, I might add, am thoroughly regretting now).

Great spot on the SZ. I know they're not everyones cup of tea but i just adore their reverse homologation special ethos 👍

 

[Mirza]

Yes, many think it is ugly...but I just love the overall styling. It is kinda manly and raw. Hard to describe. Up close it is even more impressive. In fact, it is my second favorite Alfa ever. After the Tipo 33 Stradale.




Oh, and saw this Luigi Colani conncept truck. A samsung showroom or something like that.

Was mind blown. And, sorry for the low quality, my phone camera sucks.

This is how it looks, for those who have not seen it;

 

[Turbo Lag]

I'm absolutely loving it too, brilliant spot. 👍

 

[Joey D]

Awesome stuff right there 👍! Coolest truck ever.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Wow, that truck is pretty cool, in its own way. I didn't know they actually drove it.

Some spots from today,

I have no idea what this is,

and closer

911 Targa

1958 Impala

Bentley and an Alfa and a Mercedes

I've always liked this body style but the wheels caught my eye

It was a kind of light green with gold wheels. It looked good

Rolls

Back of the Alfa

Front of the Bentley

This was right down the street. A bunch of old Volvos and a Citroen and a VW Bus. I wanted to look more but it was a tough looking place

Old something

I liked the wheels and how it looked altogether

I didn't even know they a G3, didn't want too but why not

Buick 56 Special

Kind of a cool old truck

Ford Maverick

 

[Dac_Xint]

That is AWESOME!

Never knew this existed, it reminds me of the transport truck / HQ unit of the Japanese manga about a very futuristic formula racing... can't remember the name dammit... Cyber Formula

Thanks for the comments, the view is at a friend's house, can't remember the name of the place though RUE, its sort of behind Causeway Bay.

Here's a view of my home, a friend from the UK said this is sort of what you can expect from a sci-fi or manga movie, lol
stitched from 5 photos,

here's another very Cliché shot of Victoria Harbour

 

[harrytuttle]

yea I believe so, after having been told by RUE, that would probably be the VW era, or even before that...

It's kind of one or the other, isn't it? I mean, it's not like there's a post-VW era...yet.

 

[Dac_Xint]

Half the time I don't know what I'm talking about, I was pretty wasted

 

[Legendary]

I went to Movie World today and decided to see how many people pulled in behind us when I saw a maserati:tup:. The number plate said GT 405 and I think it is a Maserati GT?



In Movie World I saw the first batman car (the real one) and then I saw this one which drove to this position.


On the way out I saw my first Honda Legend in Brisbane.

 

[Dragonistic]

that is.

I had picked up on that as well, which is what my original facepalm was, I just then noticed the badge as well to make my own funny. Which was aparently not funny... another facepalm for me

 

[Barracuda]

I didn't see it but my friend did. Pretty rare spot for around here.

 

[-ultraflow-]

^

a nice found!

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Nissan 300ZX Convertible, I'm not sure if its rare or not

New A4

370Z

New Evo MR

John Cooper Works MINI Convertible

New GTI

Boxster S

Merc 250SL

Ford Edge Sport, I don't see how huge wheels make is sportier.

 

[homeforsummer]

Spotted a number of oldies today:

Renault 4

VW Type 2

Ford Escort MkII

1970s Porsche 911

The Renault I'm guessing is owned by a French student in the area, so big credit to them driving it up France and most of the way up the UK!

 

[Joey D]

Wasn't sure if this was a special Mini or something

John Cooper Works MINI Convertible. They just came out and they start at $34,950 which makes it the most expensive MINI ever offered to my knowledge. That one is easily north of $40K just by looking at the optional extras I can see on it.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Oh, well then thats cool. I knew had to be something because it sounded amazing. Gotta love spying on Car and Driver

 

[Rue]

$40k+ for a Mini. What a joke! I'm sure Sir Alec Issigonis is spinning in his grave.
