Sorry for the unclarity:
1) Went for a walk at night. Pictures of the 2 Porsches.
2) Next day at lunch walked past an M3 Cabrio, before I posted.
Since it is the "Auto Festival" here in Luxembourg, not 1 hall with all brands, but every showroom is open longer, I visit a lot of showrooms at the moment. Nice cars, but I'm selective in my pictures. Prefer cars on the streets, but that is harder since they tend to drive away fast. I'm saving up some pictures from my walks for the moment.

Those Califonias are popping up everywhere, eh! I must see one every couple of days now and they don't get any prettier. I saw a silver one yesterday with the registration, w00t which I thought was pretty funny but the car still looked like it had been given the once over with the Ugly Stick. They sound alright though.

Nice shot of the Zagato above, they're certainly distinctive đź‘Ť I'm glad I've seen one on the road too. Definitely a rare spot.
A few from me. Apologies for the bad quality, these three were taken on my new phone cam, which is awful, and then messaged to my other phone so I could put them on the computer.
Phantom. Saw it ages ago, before Christmas I think, but until today I've been unable to upload it:
The same Smart Roadster Light I saw a while ago. The owner who I saw getting into the car shortly after looked depressingly chavvy
And my favourite spot for quite a while, a Fiat 127 Sport
Absolutely rare as rocking horse poo these, as most have gone the same way as other old Fiats and turned into piles of iron oxide. This one was in pretty good nick, and orange is definitely the best colour for it too. 70bhp from 1049cc certainly wasn't a shabby figure in 1977, especially with only 775kg to pull along.

Winter is cruel! So few spots over 6 weeks!
Volvo P544 1960
Totally did not expect to see 'V O L V O' on the front. Very cool, though, and very clean.
Jaguar 420
I really have to get this camera to take decent low-light pictures. It simply refuses to focus sometimes.
Ferrari 308 GTB
Most people don't care for the 80's look, but while this car is getting close to 35 years old, it sure is aging well. Unlike most things from 1980, this doesn't look all that dated.
BMW M3 1990
If it weren't for the entire rest of the car, the over-abundance of ///M badges would shout "I'm not an M3" louder than anything. I still want an E30 M3, but definitely not this one. If that's how the outside was treated, who knows how the rest was.
Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16v
I want one of these, too, and I'll actually take this one: right color, looks quite well-kept. Doubt I'll get the license plate, though.
Cadillac Escalade EXT stretch
An Escalade made of Laffy Taffy!
Acura TSX V6
Never thought anyone would buy this thing, but I guess someone was thinking that the 40 lbs lighter car and $255 savings was totally worth it. At least he got the better looking car (but not by much).
Lexus IS-F 2010
New wheels this year. wooo.... I guess that's one way to counteract the dead seal that is the LF-A's underwhelming performance.
Jaguar XF-R 2010
Only the dual-twin exhaust and chrome accents up front gave it away. Then again, while the XF isn't the most stellar image on the road today, it isn't exactly the most offensive. Jaguar muscle was always subtle.
Jaguar XK-R 2010
...then this showed up while pulling around near the XF.
Maserati Granturismo S
A commuter car!
Nissan GT-R
Another commuter car! (No, really: daily drivers for the short route between home and the local train station.)
Edit: Jaguar Mark 2 changed to 420; thanks: TheCracker.

Technically EXT is true (since the EXT model has a longer wheelbase than normal, which I'm sure is the joke that I'm ruining
), but in this case it's simply a stretched Tahoe-length Escalade.

ten second truck and Zagato Aston rule. It's been a while for me too... somewhat lame post, but bleah:
big-wheeled 7 series BMW from back when 7-series BMWs were cool:
high-riding Cherokee with winch and all the off-road stuff:
aaah yes, this. I assume they were together, indecently rare here 1971 Road Runner in pretty tattered condition and a cute Cragar-ladden I-6 Rambler Rogue. Check out the cool patina on the Beeper. I'd of course drive it as is... welll, maybe if it was another colour.
The Rambler was neat, I remember Car Craft doing one with a 500 hp AMC 360 that immediately came to mind when I saw this one.
far-away Mustang escaping me after I managed to ruin a shot of it passing me by. Ihate when that happens. sounded pretty neat.
been ages since I last swa one, altough I reckon the incredibly ugly big-wheels kinda miss the point with one of these.
just some street panning that came out well for a change, I dont even know if a Yamaha R6 would be a worthy spot:
A Vectra turbo with some Irscher kit and wheels, looked nice:
the star of this post by far, this megacool bubble-cabn White 3000 works daily and can be seen nearby my house every so often. Check out that desing, dammit. I loved it to death and I always stare at it when I find it.
this cool Fusch-equipped mid-70s Bug (ok, maybe not real Fuschs but you get the idea Porsche wheels)had some extra cool tibits like the side-marker taillamps and a Pancho Mendoza exhaust, and of course, that yellow.
yeah, 300C SRT8s still are quite a sight here as its price was stratospheric when they came out in here (almost 50k dollars):
I think I have posted this green Bug many times but I tought the picture of it's owner refurbiching a Model A (he used to own one) along his Jeep and Bug was neat:
4-door 70 (I think) Ford Torino, which is rare because Torinos were never ever sold in here. This one would make a killer parts car for a two-door I recently found, as it is intact and has everything you'd need to refurbish the two door, which was somewhat tattered:
nice VW Pointer GTI with a 2-liter engine and some bodykit and jumbo-wheels, these little cars are pretty quick, given they are Polo-sized with a 2-litre heart.
1953 Chevy hardtop with whitewall lines and Cragar rip-offs in THAT eye-searing (but different) colour, in pretty good condition... these cars are very common but few people seem to do stuff with them. A pity, because the are cheap and plentifull, and beautiful.
nice looking A3 Jetta with some tasty mods that end with the stupid black grille insert, but heck, loose that and the green with gold wheels works very very well.
yeah, two 300C SRT8s in the same post. sue me.
This 1974 Duster was pin-neat perfect, with awesome paint, stance and wheels. I saw it from afar and blew the picture (why was it all opened up is beyonf me, tough) and closed in. Shame, it is still only a slant Six, but it was still aweosme.
someting rare too, a 1964 Chevy Nova II that is also rare because it was never sold here. Yhis one was a worthless four door made worse by those freaing wheels and colour, but hey, its still rare.
This post will have bucketfulls of rice, starting with this... I never tought wings that tall would be possible (arrow):
another VW Pointer GTI with full rice works, shame:
and finally, this one, which unfortunately speaks for itself:
that is why I hate Ferrari. And the owner of this poor Z.

Probably should have told my dad that before he bought it. Although it kinda hurts my case when Wheels mag named the Honda Accord Euro (Essentially the everywhere-else version of the TSX) Wheels COTY 2008...Still don't like it no matter how many awards it wins.

Weather has been atrocious here. Impossible to shoot photos without getting soaking wet. Still, there are plenty of nice cars on the road, but nothing I could get a shot of. Anyway, here's an FD yesterday. Some may find the exhausts questionnable, but I think they look super-cool in a weird way. Wheels, on the other hand... ...
Oh, I forgot this GTR. Looks pretty cool with the black roof and spoiler.

Pretty sure this is a Jaguar 420 rather than a MkII.

MY55 NSX - This NSX is a looong way from home. 10,000 km as a matter of fact!
I forgot to take a close-up of the badge on this one, so I don't remember what it is. All I know is that it had 80's Jag XJ rear lights and could possibly a Mitsuoka but I don't recognise the name amongst their model line-up. Anyone?
This number plate would not have come cheap. '8' being the luckiest of numbers in Chinese superstition and obviously the HK representing our city.
