Thanks Pitracer100. 👍

Forgot to post that one.


That's a Maserati Ghibli Cup, Serge. You can tell by the lower stance and the vents in the bonnet. Nice spot, there are not too many of them around.
 

Certainly not an S8 I'm afraid. Apart from the wheels being ridiculously wrong, which could be overlooked if they were put on for winter or something, but the grille and vents are wrong (should be a cross-hatched one rather than horizontal strips) as in this image. The back end is wrong too - note the downward-pointing tailpipes (usually means a diesel), the S8 has straight pipes (like this pic). It means someone has comitted the crime of all car crimes - putting badges on something it isn't...
 
Long time no post, so here's some from today's hunt with Rue

Oh? Didn't see these. You were quick to get them up on the forum. Photos came out well despite the low light. Where did you see the Silvia, LKF? Looks a bit gangster for that part of town. Make sure you get some good snaps for us from Oop North!
 
This was the other day but the new Jeep Grand Cherokee in "testing" clothes

Yea and I'm sure he will.
Besides, after his last couple of mishaps with the Astons, i'm not quite sure he's fit to handle something as powerful as a C63 :lol:.
 
Yah but you can't really blame Bond for the mishaps. We've seen the sort of things that kills the Astons, how do you think a detuned V8 in a nose heavy, heavy altogether, small saloon car with esp that can't be fully turned off and a higher centre of gravity fare? :sly:

There should be a simulator for with kind of stuff.

How would Bond do with a Midget? The outcome would probably not be M15+ stuff.
 
Yah but you can't really blame Bond for the mishaps.

Yes of course not, it was just a joke for goodness sake.

By the way, the C63's weight distribution is very close to perfect, 54/46, and all the reviews I've read, (Edmunds, Insideline, Motortrend, Top Gear, C&D etc) rate the handling and braking very well. Its apparent you don't like it, and opinions are entitled but, just because you think its rubbish doesn't mean it is.

I must say, I always thought the press were fairly positive about the C63. As far as I'm aware my two bibles (Autocar and EVO) both like it (4.5/5 stars in EVO and the C-Class as a whole is 4/5 in Autocar with the C63 apparently "astounding")... that's good enough for me. And there are few V8s on the planet that sound better...
 
Sales speak for themselves, the C63 AMG is everywhere here. I stopped snapping them for the thread a long time ago although the estate version (IMO the best version) is still a rarity.
 
^Well you're fortunate to live in such a place because I have not yet seen a live Estate.
Camera phone is on standby though :P

Nice ZR-1 👍

Mustang could very well be a clone,there's a lot of that going around.People can't afford the real thing,so they make their own. 💡

Chrysler Newport (fixed) 8 3/4 rearend .:sly:

The wheels on that scream clone but the rest of it looks real. Its a GT350R if its real. One of the '65 race cars from SCCA AP or something.

Yeah, who'd put over sized modern wheels on a $150k+ car.
 
I have found Aston Martin DB9 in a parking lot building (Aston Martins are very rare at my country), but because I'm in a moving car, the picture are 'moving' away and looking very shakey:grumpy:.
I only saw its interior by playing NFS Shift:P.
