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

[Rue]

Another haul from me. These from today. I missed the best stuff as it all drove past my window when I was working. I've got a paid subscription to Photobucket now so no more bandwidth problems.

Panamera

Got tyre-rub?

Spot of the day!

The emptiest road in Hong Kong?

Tight squeeze!

What is it with old 911's and police vehicles?

Gotta love the RS - One of my all time favourites.

Going for the TRD 2000GT look but needs to address that wheel offset!

I'm not going to tell this fella that his truck's painted fairy pink!

Toyota Origin

I'll leave you with a pic from the walk I went on last night.

EDIT: These didn't upload for some reason

 

[Joey D]

Top down hood photos are awesome! Nice spot on the Land Rovers too!

 

[land sea air]

is that spot of the day of his a very early land rover or an austin gypsy?

 

[Dac_Xint]

Beautiful photo of the Panamera, those photos really work. That truck is so yakuza, and the MR-2 targa is pretty sweet too. Great photos and spots all round!

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Dac_Xint, yes all those cars were at the season opener for the Rally America series. I could of posted hundreds of Imprezas, but those were all the Evos I saw. I think there might of been one I didn't get a picture of and one I forgot to post, perfect lead into my pictures.

New Evo and 3000GT

Rally Prelude we passed after the rally, and pretty far away.

H1N1

'59-'64 Caddy

Pretty sure it's a Series-1 Landie. Dac_xint would know as I'm sure some of our UK members would.

LP560 Spyder

R8

awful gold flying spur

Viper

Gallardo

 

[Pitracer100]

^zonderf it's almost a sin for the cars you post not to have the aftermarket "rims" (wheels).
Also, I think you already posted that R8.

 

[Rue]

zonderf, what kinds of manual settings do you have on your camera? Do you have a 'night scenery' mode with no flash. If you can find a steady position and turn off the flash with a longer exposure you will get much clearer night shots.

It's hilarious how much almost 100% of the time those huge shiny rims make an expensive car look so cheap and tacky. That Bentley looks ridiculous! I'm thankful, and praying, that it doesn't become the thing to do over here.

The orange Lambo looks great!

It's a regular around here, I see it pretty often and that particular place where it is parked has cars pretty often

I have a Canon G10 that has all the manual settings but I forgot it at home tonight and was stuck with the old cheap camera. I've tried a bunch of different things to get decent night shots but it's hard because I take 90% of my pictures from in the car as I drive through the valets or on the road. I've tried long exposures (longest around 1 second) but don't have a steady enough hand and high ISO just makes the pictures look grainy.

I usually don't even bother with the Bentleys because most of them around here are just as bad as this one tonight but that gold color was just terrible.

Toyota Origin, based on the Toyomatt or something like that? Amazing stash again rue, the "emptiest street in HK" picture is awesome. I really like all the tuned cars you post, keep it the heck up.

Skyline, your Cadoo is 1960. Pretty good too.

Yup, its a Lightweight

Zonder, what's the white car next to the orange Gallardo? Merc CL?

 

[Vince_Fiero]

My first try:

BMW 335i and Audi S4

Mercedes CL AMG

A bit cheating (at a dealer), but not everyone saw this and not expected a lot on the street: SLR Mclaren 2010

Any way to include Flickr images more sexy?

 

[buickgnx88]

On flickr, if you right-click on the image and click "copy image location", you can then imbed the picture here using the IMG tags.

 

[Dac_Xint]

Fantastic spot Vince_Fiero, go post that at the other DYSAGT Events Thread too, that thread is perfect for this kind of spot!

 

[zonderf]

Ok, this post could technically go in either thread because Bentley put this on, but it was seen in a public place so I choose here.

New Azure

Supersports

GTC Speed Series 51

Brooklands!

GT Speed and Brooklands

New Mulsanne...it was pretty ugly in person

Zonder, what's the white car next to the orange Gallardo? Merc CL?

Almost forgot about this...it was a CL until somebody got ahold of it and put one of those awful Carlsson body kits on it. These kits seem to be pretty popular around here too, mostly on the S class and CL and are always accompanied by very large tacky rims.

 

[Pvt Zac]

I really really wish i had kept this photo of this car I saw.

It was a rediculously Bozo'd out brown toyota cressida super low on work equip wheels with a awesome exhaust that came past the roof line!

God damn it was awesome.

 

[zonderf]

Tonight...

Viper

Finally something different around here...SLR McLaren

Azure

 

[Brett]

I cannot really tell or not, but is that the same SLR in each picture?

 

[zonderf]

Yeah same car, sounded amazing

 

[Brett]

I have seen both a SLR and SLR 722 and only the SLR was driving at the time I spotted it. It was moving at a leisurely pace and not near the rev range to make a bunch of noise. I am a bit disappointed now that I did not get to enjoy the aural soundtrack of the vehicle.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Went for a walk last night (sorry for the low quality) and saw something at lunch today:

Just to prove they are not so special:

Porsche 911 4S

Porsche Boxter S

BMW M3 Cabrio

Not good at getting the driving cars yet, missed some nice things that were driving by yesterday.

Went for a walk at night and saw something at lunch....then the pics are at night again. Your part of the world must only run on 4hr days and 3 hr nights

Here's two from my central London car park. First, a big-winged, retina-burning fluroescent yellow Exige Cup 260:

And a rear view of the Aston DB7 Zagato I pictured before. Love the double bubble roof, not so keen on the parking:

 

[Brett]

Excellent spots! 👍

Classic post! 👍 That Aston is very fussy looking isn't it?!

 

[McLaren]

A bit. I think the DB AR1 was a lot nicer.
