Andrew- that new GT3 was bought only 6 hours before when I saw it at RA, according to the owner. Nice Esperante- didn't see that one this weekend... -kevin

Interesting, I wonder what he traded in when he bought it because he obviously swapped the plates from his old car
 
Just got back from our roadtrip, but thought that given as the GT5 screenshots are on the frontpage, I'd post this.
Was in Crater Lake, OR. when I spotted something unusual in a lay-by with a gullwing open & foreign plates. Jammed the brakes on (scaring the missus to death!) and reversed back into the same layby to snap some pics.

Apparently they were doing a publicity shoot for Mercedes. The guy standing outside the car (headless in first pic) had a radio and was talking to the photographers and checking the road was clear in the opposite direction to which the car is facing in the photo. (As we pulled away, the SLS U-turned and took off, leaving the other guy to get into the Kia minivan (with Illinois plates) which is visible behind them.

Sorry for poor sundrenched photo quality but it was taken directly into a very bright afternoon sun. :indiff:
 
WHOAH, hold the phone! Truly amazing spot!!! I wasn't convinced by the press shots, but I actually like the look of it in the first photo.
 
Great spot man, we've got a lot of spy photographers here, lol. Hate to admit it, but this car is growing on me.

Hey RUE how's the flu, feeling like a drink some time soon? I've been hanging out with the ladies too much lately lol
 
Some more local stuff from my small town. We got alot of nice cars. xD

Sorry for the crap picture but it was a convertible Jaguar.. an XK I believe.

Decent "Bubble" the car is well kept with an interior and motor from a wrecked Impala SS, but the owner is a complete wigger/chav
 
I've been pretty sick recently and have hardly been out the house. On Sunday I took a short walk into town from my village and saw some pretty nice stuff.

Another sundrenched photo from the Rim Village parking lot at Crater Lake, a Viper SRT/10 on CA private plates (can't remember the corny contrived slogan) and a brand-new untagged Corvette Z06 still on dealer advert-plates.

The eagle-eyed amongst you may notice the handsome fella in the 911 at the back. ;)

Beautiful black R8 and Merc SL, remember that red R8 I told you about? I saw it again last week when I went to the Peak, but it escaped from me again before I could get my camera out. Another car on my list...

That's the best Impreza of its generation I've seen on the road, can I have that in original res?
 
Wow, some awesome spots lately! That TVR is smoking!! Also, the rarity of the day is of course the freaking ugly gullwing Merc, noveau!

Cracking post as usual DKX!!!! The wide-fender Mini is really cool. Nice spots also NicksFix.
 
I forgot about this car. I saw it a few months ago but ists pretty cool. I saw another since then but it was impossible to get a picture

NISMO 350Z

I saw a Lambo Countach driving through Stratford on the weekend...

Followed it for a while - smelled the oil burning in my nostrils!!
