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

[Joey D]

EDIT: I'm pretty sure I found the Sultan of Michigan's car collection too. Now I just need to get in.

Wow, you guys finally found it? That'd be awesome if you could get in.

 

[buickgnx88]

Firebird? With some horrible decorations, and possibly fake blower

Agree. Ugly decals, ugly wheels, and I do agree that it has a fake scoop. Those butterfly valves look like stickers or like they were just painted on. I'll bet it's one that you just bolt onto the hood.

Yep, we were on our way to Ann Arbor from Brighton and though we'd try a new road and at one of the 4-ways we came to we a sign that said Lingenfelter, and Ken Lingenfelter is the Sultan. So we instinctively turned around to look for it and when we saw it, it had three garages like the videos do and it's in Brighton so it has to be it. It's now on our list of pass by every couple weeks to check out .

Oh man, talk about some epic win right there. I wish Brighton was closer so I could scope it out but it's a bit of a drive for me.

Yea, thats like us going to Autozone. It's fun a couple times but a pain. I'm surprised the amount of car places we've found. Like today we also found Connie Kattila's garage, an RM classic car showroom, and Car and Driver never disappoints.

I suppose that is part of the fun of car spotting. The thrill of the hunt never gets old no matter how irritating it may be at times. Looking back over my photos I'm simply amazed at what I've seen over the years and how being in the right place at the right time means everything.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I agree, it's amazing what I've randomly driven past, or saw parked in a paarking lot. Car spotting is my new favorite hobby

 

[Prosthetic]

Corvettes in Georgia are quite common.

Corvettes are popular all over the US...

Get in touch with this guy & he'll be able to tell you whenever Mr. L. has an "open house".

Ooh thanks. I'm gonna give it a shot and hope for the best.

Just saw this 6 wheel Chaser 3 times in the space of 10 minutes but couldn't get a snap. I have a video but all you can see is it's rear lights in the distance. I 'chased' it down to my local town where it was heading towards and checked every car park, but with no joy. This picture is in a very early stage, it now has a D1GP-esque paint job. So annoyed that I couldn't get a good snap, it was hideous but awesome at the same time.

Okay, let's make this post worthwhile. 90% of these were taken this evening when I was finding the Chaser in my town. Once again, poor cellphone pics while I wait to fix/change my camera:

And leaving you with a view from my friend's living room, because it's an awesome view...

 

[Dac_Xint]

Sweet, I couldn't find the Hot Machine magazine, I told my mate about it and he said the pick up Chaser was in the last issue. This car is officially your unicorn

 

[ND4SPD]

That FD.........

A few from round where I work:

Ferrari 16M

NSX facelift version

MG B

WRX

Chaser

 

[MazdaZXi]

New Shelby Mustang GT500, first one in the UK?

 

[Rue]

Nice spot. This thread seems to be slowing down a lot recently. I'm guessing that there's a lot of bad weather in North America and Europe and people are keeping their pride and joy in the garage?

Yep , it maybe hit 30 today. I won't be seeing much post worthy for a few months, I'll try though

 

[zonderf]

not too sure about this one...chevy badge??

These could really go in either this thread or the dealer one because technically they were being unloaded on a side street outside of the dealership

New Rolls Royce Ghost, it was driving laps around the dealership, I can only assume it's a demo

Phantom Coupe

Drophead

Drophead and Ghost

new 997 GT3

V8V Roadster, cool color and rims

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

The top one is a Toyota Land Cruiser. Not sure what's up with the Chevy badge.

350 swap probably.

 

[zonderf]

350 swap probably.

That's the only good reason I could think of, there were some guys trying to open the hood while I was taking the pictures so maybe that's what they were looking at.

 

[Rue]

There are some truly awesome cars in that post right there zonderf! Nice work! In the Rolls capital of the world I have only ever seen one Drophead and never the Ghost.

Definitely the case. At least, that's what happens in the northeast. There's some sell-backs, too, with people trading in more interesting cars for more affordable ones (an example of which I posted a few weeks ago; the Greenwich Infiniti dealer seems to pride itself on this). It sucks if you're looking for a good shot of something, but it makes it a bit more special when you finally find something. Like these:


Alfa Romeo Spider

It was the yellow that caught my eye. All the others I've ever seen are red. While not incredibly special, it led to this one....


Triumph TR5

Neat little bugger. It's not every day you get dwarfed by a Kia.


Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante

Another in my ongoing series of 'just barely missed but caught in the rear view mirror'.


Ford F-150 Platinum

I'll bite: What does 'Platinum' mean and how rare is it? Why would you want it anyway? It's a work truck...supposedly.


Pontiac Firebird 400 1975

Looks like really good clean-up job. Last time I saw this one, it was in much rougher shape.


Saab 9-3 Viggen sedan

The jury's still out on whether the last Viggen I posted was genuine or not, but in the meantime here's another to consider.

Ford F-150 Platinum

Platinum is their top of the line model. It is basically supposed to replace the slow-selling Lincoln Mark LT. It's not really rare, I just think not too many people want a $42,000 luxury truck.

Who was it that wanted more BNR34 pics? I have a nice one for you.

 

[Rue]

Bumped with content. Man, is this thread slow at the moment. Dac_Xint you said you had some pics for us?


80's/90's Japanese white goods

Mugen Fit

Gallardo (and Conti GT) an hour ago

BNR34 w/ Do-Luck bits (Seen an increasing amount of BNR34's, 33's and an awesome gunmetal 32 on white TE37's but never seem to have the cam handy. Gah!)

911 Turbo Cab.

Panamera... Uh-oh, these things are beginning to grow on me in a big way. Run for the hills!

More white goods

 

[Dac_Xint]

Yup, here's the photo from last Saturday, and I've got a few more in the other DYSAGT showroom thread. There's another BNR34 there!

RS ST (thanks homeforsummer for reminding me that, been away from the UK too long to remember these things )

Open Deck

BMW 2002

loud Cooper S

My first Panamera, looking better and better

Toyota Levin AE111

Turbo

Proper Mini

 

[homeforsummer]

RS

ST 👍 No such thing as an RS 5dr.

Great photos though. Love the AE111, 2002 and the old Mini.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Ahh winter in Michigan, I'm still trying to find things . This is all I've gotten so far.

I thought it looked kinda cool, and redneck

Jeep Liberty Renegade, not sure about these. The Renegade part caught my eye.

Supercharged Cadillac

5-ton

Cooper S

Nice clean Evo

A freind of the guy who lives across the street has this almost Prerunner Ford, I like it.

 

[ND4SPD]

Cool spots. Although I do miss Cano's oldschool spots.
