I wonder where he lives...... Kind of reminds me of the Top Gear episode where they go to Romania and see all the Ferraris (Season 14 Episode 1).

He lives in Hong Kong.

Good spot with that GT-R 👍

I love those Sport Trac Adrenaline trucks, they aren't anything special, but they sure do look good, well, without unnecessary grill ornamentation. :lol:
 
Was the Mitsubishi Starion ever sold in America? I thought they were all badged as Chrysler Conquests.
 
I think it was, but aren't they the same as the Dodge Daytona as well?

(Whatever the small turbo 4 was called.)

Edit: No your right, it was marketed as a Conquest here.

According to Wiki, it was sold here in all of its monikers.

It was marketed in North America by Mitsubishi as the Starion until 1989 and by Chrysler as the Conquest under both the Dodge and Plymouth names from 1984 to 1986 and under the Chrysler name from 1987 until 1989.

The Daytona was essentially a K-car in a fast back body. It was pre-DSM wasn't it? Because the Laser and Talon replaced it I believe.

According to Wiki, it was sold here in all 3 of its monikers.

Hmmm, learn something new everyday.

Stylistically close but not even mechanically close, the Starion/Conquest duo were rear wheel drive and powered by the 4G63 Mitsu engine.


Edit: Craptastic, Tree'd.

Ah I see, we had one in my auto class in highschool, which was the last time I had seen a Daytona, I just thought they looked super similar is all. My bad.

Don't feel bad. It's was the late 80's. Everything looked like a Porsche 944. ;)

The 1980's wasn't the pinnacle of design, I can easily see how one could confuse anything from that era. Toaster, car, spaceship, dog :lol:.

Tree'D!
 
I wasn't sure if it was the Mitsubishi or the Chrysler version. I just automatically think Mitsubishi for some reason.

Had to save face and hand one back. ;)


I almost bought a Chrysler one. I thought in was a Savana RX-7. :lol: Loved how it had "Turbo" stitched into the seatbelts.

Great pics on last page, Paul. Some seriously nice wheels on the S15. Next to the Chaser (props for snapping that), that's definitely a car I would consider getting at some point. I saw an awesome black one for sale a few weeks back but can't remember the website now. Doh! However, this is a steal at $58k. http://www.car8.com/2cardetails.php?id=161984
 
Long day today, went to Kalamazoo and back with a buddy of mine to collect his sister's car and drop off a different one. Long story but plenty of adventure and some car spots.

Coolest hearse ever!

Someone actually bought a 3-door Astra? Wow I'm shocked!

New Ford Superduties out for testing.

Snooping around Ford's World HQ complex, unfortunately I couldn't get a picture of the Kuga we saw which was extremely disappointing. Also I we were unable to catch the Focus RS as well.

Ford Fiesta

F-350 Superduty, the new one that isn't out yet.
IMG_2926.jpg


It looked similar to a Taurus but wasn't a Taurus, might be the body refresh or something.

Mustang test cars, probably with the new V6 and V8's under the hood.

And at the Detroit Lions training facility, a Lotus Exige. Not sure who owns it but it was in the player's lot.

That right there is a flower car! Not many companies use them anymore. They're used to transport flowers to the procession or to carry the casket under the bed flowers. Cool spot! I will own a hot rodded hearse one day....:sly:
 
Rue - Please tell your boss that some yobbo on a forum you shouldn't be looking at at work thinks he is an absolute legend.

Love the Brabus! :D
 
Rue, is this guy trying to piss into the fuel tank? (I know the inlet is on the other side, but I can't help but think he's trying to sabotage the car, lol)

Nice spot on the Panamera

Ironically there is a photo on the top 10 rated pics on Forza 3 which looks almost exactly the same. In this instance though I think it's safe to say it's his car.
