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

[benzoboy]

Actually the bruce 7 is faster by nearly .1



fastest lap for norris was 55.576 sec

evo 7 55.487

Going by the picture at the start of the first vid of the Norris Designs car, that's the previous incarnation of it. Bit different to the one seen in the picture above, namely the new canards/aero kit. Probably a lot faster now, and less than a tenth of a second isn't a hard gap to close

This thread is awesome. I'm so jealous of everyone who lives somewhere with such amazing cars. All we've got round here is this

Also saw a koenigsegg and Zonda in a London showroom... but that's cheating.

It's okay, that's why we have this thread...https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=118094

Please tell me you have pics of that Zonda

R8s seem to be the only cars I have the chance to chase down for rolling shots. This has to be the 7th instance.

I'm not complaining though!

Well, what a come down in terms of cars compared to Hong Kong, but hey there is plenty of older machinery on the roads that I can only dream of seeing back there. I'm loving all the 60's to 80's cars. Here are a few from today shot on the road with my old man's Pentax.

Sorry if some of these spots seem rather mundane, but they are interesting to me having not been here for a while.

VW Bug

Astra VX-R

'Modernised' Triumph Stag... Yuck!

Supra

Graffed Previa

Figaro

Angry 200SX

RX-7 Savanna

Elise

Unmolested CR-X

Abarth 500 Essesse

Clean E36 M3

Audi RS6 - Sooooo cool!

Another RS6. Rare colour!

 

[Rue]

I also took a picture of this personalized R35 in Kuala Lumpur:

Are they Singapore plates? They look familiar from when I was at the Singapore F1 race a couple of years ago. The Singaporeans are crazy about GTR's I think there are almost as many there are there are in HK and I know that you can drive up to KL from Sing. quite easily.

Sorry for the double-post. Won't happen again!

that's the previous incarnation of it. Bit different to the one seen in the picture above, namely the new canards/aero kit.

Actually that is the previous incarnation of the car its different now

tenth is still faster though and we have 300bhp less and no fancy carbon fibre bits

 

[Neal]

@ RUE: Looks like you're in Yorkshire?

I'd much rather be looking at your usual exotica than our old and mundane UK heaps! I'll have to get snapping now I know you find stuff like this interesting

 

[Joey D]

That Evo is epic.

 

[Joey D]

I didn't see this but my buddy just sent this to me from his work over in Troy. It's a natural gas powered VW Caddy Typ 2k that's driving around the world or something. Yes it was on German plates too! Pretty cool I'd say.

*waits for a crack about the company name*

Say what you will, I just want to see it against the newest Norris Designs one.

the "newest" norris evo is a 3

the 9 has just been "evolved" over the years and not new

Isn't this the car someone called PS on in the Imports thread just because of the angle it was shot at?

 

[CDailey]

I think that was a Porsche on TE37s.

I think that was a Porsche on TE37s.

I remember that one, but there was a green evo as well.

VW Bug

BIG TIME please, dude (: awesome picture.

And the RS6s are immense, the yellow one looks soooo in-your-face!!!

 

[Dac_Xint]

Original text deleted - thought better off not replying till I'm sober

BTW lovely RS6 there, come to think of it there aren't many cool RS6s here in HK

 

[Glubags]

Dang, this thread is a goldmine of awesome. For the most part.

Can't believe I've ignored it for so long.

Wrong end of the country. Wiltshire.

Audi A8

Modified Ford Prefect

Evo 6

Quad

Twingo, I think?

GT4

And these were in a car park at Castle Combe circuit last time I was here but I forgot to prep and post them. I will put the paddock cars in the other thread when my PC stops being so balshy:

 

[astrosdude91]

I've got some really good pictures I'll be uploading soon. If I can figure out how!

 

[Speedster502]

Rue, you don't have anymore of the Ferrari above the 360? Sorry the name escapes me. I went to Castle Combe awhile back and got a photo of one, just thinking if it was the same car.

 

[astrosdude91]

Alright, here is some Pictures from my ExoticSpotter.com account. They were all taken by me, so don't worry. These were all spotted in Houston

Porsche Carrera GT

Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren

Mercedes SLR and Murcielago spotted at Starbucks

Mercedes SLR Mclares Roadster

Mercielago LP670-4 SV

2 Ford GT's

That's it for now!

Well, this was more than a year ago, but I finally asked my freind to send me it. A Fiat 500 way out in the middle of nowhere.

Old school GTi

Cadillac CTS Coupe. I finally got a picture of one after missing two

Old Mercedes

A couple CTS wagons going into the GM Proving grounds

*Should be picture of ZR-1 here, but I could get it quick enough*

Jag S-Type R, not sure if it's rare or not

Mini Sidewalk

Similar stone...nice ham!

Our CEO has just replaced his Bentley Flying Spur with a Porsche Panamera Turbo...this is the same guy who recently sold a DB7 Volante (reg: V12 TOY), Dodge Viper (V10 Toy), Ferrari 360 (V8 TOY), and 911 Carrera Cabriolet (V6 TOY). He bought the number plates before the cars...makes you wonder why he got a 911 for V6 TOY!

Other directors have got 911 Carrera 4S, 911 Targa, RS6, M5...they're a bit car mad but also have no sense of humour so wouldn't take very kindly to anyone snapping their cars hence the lack of photos. Maybe one day I'll do a bit of covert ops and post them

 

[Rue]

I'm sure I have seen V12 TOY in person or a magazine. Possibly on another car though.

 

[Neal]

I'm not surprised it went on another car, his DB7 was green with a green soft top and non-standard bumpers and sills...not the prettiest Aston I've ever seen! His son (now the MD) had a Touareg with V10 GRR plate! He's got the RS6 now after having a white M3 folding roof...life's not fair!

 

[stumpydino]

if they are car mad you would think they would get interesting cars

Rue, your Twingo is actually a Clio sport.

👍

Went to see the Mustang i mentioned in my last post, and saw this on the way:

The Mustang: it used to be a convertible

The Interior:

Too bad they've "Rice'd" it:

They also had this Mini:

And this big Packard(?)

And then in another garage nearby we say this beetle:

W123 Mercedes in the background

Went inside to see if there was anything else and found this Morris!

And another Beetle!

A friend of my friend had told him about a place with some supercars parked, we went to check it out, turns out it was just a wild goose chase! but we did see this mk1 golf on the way there:

And then on the way back home, this Jag passed us:
