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

[Vince_Fiero]

the main reason I went on this trip: an awesome rat rod:

And then, this even better very early model Renault 4 passenger wagon!!!

While shooting such car, some stuff passes by, like this early Datsun Bluebird with full family load:

This rat rod picture is really stunning.

The Renault 4 is not uncommon here, but this early version is something I did not see since long.

Full family load, I expect better then that from RandomUsername!

The next time i make a post here i'll remember to include a Nano too

Do not know why, but these fully loaded vehicles attract me.
Here you will be pulled over and get a fine, if the policemen are nice, they'll take some passengers and bring you to destination in a legal way.

Home Depot spots.

Studebaker

Awsome Studebaker, I looked up the neares Home Depot. I think the best is to go to China for me .


@ CyborgGT: what is that crack in you windscreen


Can you all please use the motorcycle spotting thread for motorcycles, I believe there is a different public, although there must be quite some overlap too.

and some posts:

Really liked this for an alternative Porsche to see (colour and old model), while going shopping after work yesterday:

Loved this view in the back mirror, although I see quite many of these Maserati GranTurismos:

A few days before at while parking saw this Seat Bocanegra I did not know:

And on the motorway for the first time noticed this Renault Fluence:

Also got passed by a Honda Civic Type S and almost the next car was this Type R:

In the event thread I'll probably have some posts from Francorchamps, lots of wealthy Belgians and UK residents there again.

Some stuff from Saturday. My friend and I only went into town for Cars & Coffee, so I don't have any big numbers like the other times. But I do have a few things.

Nice Mini Cooper S, I thought of Joey D when I saw it. You should do something like this, Joey:

Bad picture, but you know what it is, Gallardo Spyder:

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Hi !
I saw these four at a meeting in France but I can't figure out what they are...

So I'm asking for your help guys, knowing how passionate you are.
Can you figure out what make and model they are ?

Thanks in advance !

 

[Smallhorses]

Not sure about the first 3, but the 4th picture is a Triumph TR3, 5th picture is an MG TF and 6th picture I'd wager is an AC Ace.

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Wow ! Thanks a lot ! Didn't thought I would have answers so fast !
You guys are experts !

Let's find the other 2 now, shall we?

 

[astrosdude91]

Welcome to our little spotting thread, Fido. You should know that we have a seperate thread for events and showrooms. Here it is.

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Hi.

Yes I know about the other thread. I just thought since my question is about identifying cars, it doesn't really matters if it's here or in the other thread. But if it's an issue, I'll copy/paste it in the other thread and delete my post here.

Sorry about the huge size of my pics by the way but it didn't looked that way when I previewed my post

 

[astrosdude91]

No problem, just for future reference.

 

[Smallhorses]

I fixed the IMG tags for you!
You'd just posted them as URLs.

 

[Joey D]

Nice Mini Cooper S, I thought of Joey D when I saw it. You should do something like this, Joey:

That Cooper is pretty awesome, the only problem with doing the lights like that on the generation Cooper I have is that it would block the air flow too much and could cause overheating. I do like the Joey modded headlamps though and if mine weren't $700 to replace if I screwed them up I might give it a try.

 

[Talon]

Can someone tell me what this is? I've never seen anything like it.

 

[E38]

Smart Roadster

 

[Carlos]

R32 at the Air Races. GTI 👍

RS4, AKA the "BMWKLLR" at the Air Races

That's a GTI. Don't let the rims en color fool you!

And that RS4 is awesome

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Let's find the other 2 now, shall we?

The second one I will not even try.

The first one, I thought of brands like: Marcos, Ultima, Panoz, DeTomaso, Ligier, Ginetta .. but I do not seem to be able to match any of their models to that picture.

After the super weekend in Francorchamps, I thought I was not seeing a lot on the streets, but I guess I'm acting a bit spoiled, here is what I saw and it is not bad at all:

Today at lunch, Ferrari California in Black:

On the motorway going home after work:

I noticed some have a wing and some do not, any logic in that?

This VW Beatle at lunch one day had a roof that looked so much like a DIY job that it actually gave it a certain charm:

Same lunch very yellow Dodge Charger and a Maserati Gransport:

I generally do not like the ML, but the exhausts on this one made me wonder what engine was in there:

Wow I could of swore it was an R32. Tricky owner with this one.

[astrosdude91]

I see I'm not the only one having Photobucket issues. So I had to upload my spots to my GTP account, all the same though. So, here are my spots from yesterday:

Random Grand Am car on display in a parking lot. I got a free picture with it.

'67 Mustang Convertible, could be a '68:

Nice red Audi R8 parked near a Starbucks. RR Sport had some weird stuff on the side.

Marauder parked near that R8:

996 Turbo filling up with V-Power at the Shell Station:

 

[motortrend]

On the motorway going home after work:

I noticed some have a wing and some do not, any logic in that?

The spoiler on those is retractable or movable or whatever you want to call it.


watch from about 3:18 to 3:25 carefully

 

[RandomUsername]

Spotted this Ferrari parked outside a Nissan dealership today:

And this Morris Oxford:

 

[Rue]

Supra (I see this around quite a lot these days)

 

[boiltheocean]

I suppose it's quite hard to miss it!

 

[astrosdude91]

Looking at that Supra makes me want to go eat an orange.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Wow, those wheels suck

edit: hard

 

[exigeracer]

I like them.

I guess I'm partial because of their similarity to 190E Evo and base S2 Elise wheeels.

Gold on orange is just whack though.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Gold on orange is just whack though.

That's a good part of it.

Oh damn this post is red hot. The Vettes, the Cadoo, the Old car that is actually a Model A hot rod, the Impala, Barracuda, that curious Trans am redo and of course the 8C and above them all the freaking 1955 chevy, that thing is CLEAN. BUT WHYYY IMAGESHACKKKKKKKKKKKK?

Image Shack has been a dreadful bastard on me lately. I don't know why, I just can't get many pics upped in Imageshack to load.

anyway, great couple pages people!!! Rue, you should go to the "japanese modded car" side of HK more often!!!!

 

[Rue]

Nothing special, just some snaps from a rainy walk to the local shop. Basically just playing around with my new, second-hand Nikon D80 with the 30mm F/1.4 prime lens attached.

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Would anyone be up for another GTP Scavenger Hunt? It's been awhile since the last one.

I don't see why not. I see a ton of cars at work, there's bound to be plenty of spots for me.

 

[Cano]

MAN!!!! awesome AWESOME post -yet again- Nismo. Incredible ammount of awesome. Ebven the MGB is cool with Western's rip off of Minilites and a roll-bar. THE TORINO!!! It looks mint!! Roadrunner and Javelin are also awesome.

And you old Dodge is actually a 1937 Ford, the Plymouth behind the LeMans is a Dodge Charger, like 1974.

Damn dude, you really kick this thread.
