That car is a Toyota scion I think.

Please identify for me
Close, though there's no such thing as a "Toyota Scion". Scion is an offshoot of Toyota, and what they've made above is an xB.
Ford Fiesta
Since nobody else has corrected you... it's a Euro-market Focus, not a Fiesta.
Today I saw...
...a Cube (cool, though nasty aftermarket alloys on it. The original Cube wheels are fifty times awesomer)
...and even cooler, a Clio V6

I wondered about that, they look really similar. I'm mad I missed the Fiesta's driving around then. There was 3 Fiesta's and 2 Raptors in a convoy of sorts. Hanging out around Dearborn is pretty fun because you pretty much see everything Ford currently makes on the road.

Both of you are wrong actually.
That's actually a Toyota Corolla Rumion, though it is based on the xB...partial credit then!

HFS are Cubes not popular over there? I see them all over here.. Which is awesome because I love em.

The new one hasn't gone on sale yet, and they never sold the old one in this country - the only ones currently over here are personal imports from Japan.
But yeah, they're awesome so I'm looking forward to the new one coming on sale.

That means we got something mildly interesting before you did.. HAH!

I was sure it is a Bb variant, but couldn't find a name / picture match anywhere. Thanks for clearing that up! Kudos
Why does this have a fur dash?!?!??
Otherwise a metric assload of amazing you posted.
Cheers,
Jetboy
Honestly, I don't want to know... I've seen a few cars with fur on the dashboard, some twisted *****r

Here in Hong Kong a modified Japanese car with a furry dashboard is de rigueur if you're one of the local triad boys. You can also get away with putting one of those long beer towels on the dash, but I think the fur gets more props. Also don't forget to stick at least one Hello Kitty sticker somewhere on the car for your girlfriend. Got that? Good! 👍
On a side note. I just relocated my office to one of the most exclusive areas in town. I was there on Sunday and the amount of flash cars that went past was ridiculous. It's a rainy day here today, but nonetheless I will take my camera down today and have a snoop around.

Tonight I had to make a late night dash to Southampton to pick my Mother up from hospital (she's fine), and whilst driving through Lyndhurst I came across this:
The image quality is crap but the reg plate is clear enough,
I believe the car is a 2009/59 MASERATI Quattroporte S Automatic 4.7 V8.

Just had a little snoop around the area where I'm based now and while it's full of city mansions everyone has a 20ft wall and gate outside their homes which makes snapping cars a little tricky. However, I did take a couple of opportune moments to glance through some railings and each time I did there was something interesting to see. I have a feeling this place will be teaming with nice cars around rush hour but unfortunately I'll be busy then. All three pics later (Paul you will definitely enjoy one of them)...

It's slap-bang in the middle of Kowloon Tong next to Festival Walk and near all the roads that are named afer English cities; Oxford Road, Cambridge Road, Durham Road, etc. There are some killer houses here. The one next door to me is epic but the owner's choice of cars is pretty pathetic to be honest. Best to get down here on a Saturday.

Smart Roadster Light
What makes it the Light? Basic steel wheels instead of alloys, no aircon, no paddleshift (just the floor lever), basic seats, targa panels instead of the electric retractable roof (which doesn't leak), a grand and a bit cheaper brand new than the normal Roadster, and supposed to be the best handling version of the lot thanks to the narrower tyres. If I ever get around to getting a Roadster the Light would be the one I'd get.

I'd have the Brabus
Nah - the light looks like a bag o fun. Loving the black steel wheels.
The Brabus looks awesome but I've learned my lesson with hard suspension and also, I reckon tyres as fat as it has would be overkill on the roads (I doubt you'd ever break traction). Every review I've read reckons the Light is the one to have. Re: the wheels, I don't think they're normally black - I think those ones must have been re-sprayed.

Unbelievably, for the last week there has been a brand new unregistered white GTR sitting literally twenty feet away from my chair in our private parking space and I didn't notice it. My boss says he's selling it to which I responded, "Err, and why haven't I had a ride in it yet?" I can't believe it's just sat there gathering dust. Now, I wonder where he keeps the spare set of keys?!
EDIT: Right, so where I now work is full of the proverbial 'win'. This was this afternoon on my cellphone. I will post my DC pics up later when I can find my card reader.
Supra taken with very unresponsive phone cam
WRX Sti Type-R something or other wotnot edition
GTR (Snail? Me thinks not)
Boss' GTR just sat there waiting for an owner
Mas GT
Spot of the week. Ferrari 575 Superamerica in black!

I hope you told your boss he's awesome - because he just is. Owning a Brabus AND an R35 does that to people.
I offer him $20 incl postage for the GTR
Haha! I would tell him but that would be brown-nosing wouldn't it. Actually, he doesn't like the GTR and he says the Brabus is 'too long'. There's no pleasing some people
I'll pass on the offer of $20, but he may try and counter with an offer of $30, just to let you know...
