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

[land sea air]

Jolly Midget?

 

[Anathema]

I've got no pics because my camera died, but I saw a blue newer model Lotus Elise in the parking lot of a local bar.
Also, my neighbor has a '62 Buick Special in his garage (needs carburetor work.)
I'll post the pics as soon as my camera is working again...

 

[NotThePrez]

It looks like a modified Daihatsu Midget.

R8 and if you look close enough you can see the Canadian only fugly bumperettes to meet our 5mph bumper regulations....

 

[damez]

Anyone know what this is?

That's a rickshaw or trishaw, or "three-wheeler". It's mainly found in east-asian countries, as a form of taxi-cab.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_rickshaw

When I went over to east-asia a couple of years ago, that was the basic form of public transport.

They usually have a small 700cc engine, basically a motorcycle with 2 rear wheels and extra room for 3 passengers.

 

[E38]

It's a Piaggio Ape Calessino

Looks like it's got a handle bar moustache. Without the moustache.

Yep haha. Turns out it was a first year only thing for us up here. We dropped that strict bumper rule in favour of one similar to the American 3mph rule. You should have seen our first gen Audi TT's, just a slab of plastic across the front and rear bumpers! Or the Canadian Ford GT's with extensions on the rear bumper! I was wondering why I've been seeing Evo 9's and GTO's these days.

Thanks

Correction ,it's a'72 Chevelle SS. Possibly could have been a Z-15 optioned 454 rated @ 270hp.But more commonly produced were the small block 350's rated at 175hp (emmisions muscle,),but still not a bad car.Take it home,do some tweaking,and your back up in the big hp range. Keep in mind,there are also a lot of clones out there,it may not even be a real SS.This could have been a basic Malibu with a 307 ci, and cloned up to resemble an SS.

Wrong, it's a '71. Note that there is body color between the grille and headlight, whereas on the '72 the grille extends up to the headlight. Probably just the basic 350.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

[Dac_Xint]

Okay people, this is going to be a long one. Please be patient and look through the lot, you will not be disappointed :-)

on Saturday, around central London

To begin with, some of the rather mundane cars:

Jaguar XK-R

Cannot complete a London post without one of these

Mercedes E190

A single seater kit car?

Getting more serious now:

Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II

A beautifully kept Cinquecento

Porsche Speedster!

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Plymouth Satellite, a mint 1966 Plymouth Satellite in London!

Ferrari Scaglietti 612

1955 Austin Healey 100M

Matte black Mini Clubman, very very cool looking car

Beautiful Jaguar XJS

Audi RS6

Stunning Ferrari 575M

Beautiful Daimler V8-250

Another Silver Shadow

1975 Rolls Royce Corniche

Still a great looking car in my opinion, this is the S

Mercedes 420S

The crazy fast Yamaha VMax

A stunning BMW 840

1987 Mercedes 420 SL

Bentley Continental SuperSport!

Aston Martin DB9 Volante

1972 Bristol 411

and lastly a great looking Golf

Now... this is where it gets really serious...

Duo Californias

Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé

" I "

" IV "

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

A Ferrari Dino 308gt4 for sale

Ford Focus RS

Rolls-Royce Ghost!!! You can see the rear passenger door opening, a guy who looks like he's still in his early 20s jumped out and went into Harrods...

And the 458

Now, there was a dozen or so SPECIAL cars around Knightsbridge with number plates from Dubai (my best guess), and not one of these cars were the least bit uninteresting:

Is this just a dressed up Turbo?

Another Phantom Drophead Coupé

Hamann X6

Bugatti Veyron, can't figure out which edition this is...

FAB Design Panamera

1 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce - matte pink (limited to 350 units)

2 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce - matte purple

3 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce - gloss red

And a McLaren SLR 722 S Roadster! (limited to 150 units)

Finally, some icing on the cake...

Sorry, I meant this:

Koenigsegg CCXR (estimated top speed of 400+ km/h or 250+ mph)

 

[astrosdude91]

Dac Xint, Chill out!!!!

That is an amazing collection there! I was about to post my spots from today, but there is no way I can follow that matte black Clubman!

 

[AgusBmxArg]

Oh my god that plymouth...

 

[Rue]

Stupendous amount of mind-blowing pictures

Didn't anyone tell London there's a recession on? My jaw dropped wider with each click of the mouse-wheel. I need some time to recover. Absolutely adore the pink SV! Between you and NISM0_SKYLINE, this page needs a thread of its own.

 

[Cale]

Awesome spots! If only that purple LP was metallic and slightly darker. It'd then be the best Lamborghini EVAR

 

[Alex.]

Goddamnit Xint, Until now I was the only person to post a 'segg I held that for nearly 3 years

Congratulations. I need to get down to Knightsbridge. I'm willing to bet the CCXR belongs to the same guy who commisioned the special edition Zonda of the same colour. I forget the name of it now but it's ultimate badass, expect to see it soon.

 

[astrosdude91]

Really clean Ranger

Ahhhhh!!! Ranger! It's just like mine, only different color!


Well, I've been back for over a week now, so I thought I would post the rest of my spots from Colorado.

Old 911 Cabriolet. That's my dad in the blue shirt:

Prowler from the Forth of July Parade:

Another old 911:

Old Land Rover in town, belongs to a local brewery:

Old Chevy pickup being trailered down Interstate 70:

Aston Martin DB9 with some fantastic scenery in the background:

Hummer H1 I saw after I went white water rafting:

Rousch F-150 off of Mount Evans Road:

First gen Camaro between Denver and Colorado Springs:

18 Wheeler pulling some brand new Corvettes:

Well, that's it from Colorado. I had alot of fun!

Not so common in Luxembourg and having trouble to get them well on picture, the old Nissan GTRs

You see them a lot, but could not resist:
VW Golf GTI

Mini Cooper S Cabrio

Honda Civic Type R

Ford Focus ST

Old BMW M3 in the original colour:

 

[Rue]

Day off today so I took the opportunity of the sunshine to get out and take some photos this afternoon before the tropical cyclone hits. Now I'm using Flickr I can't tell what the images are from the links so there aren't any comments. Nothing really stand out on the roads but the white Scud was a pleasant surprise and I have seen that white R34 GTR around a few times but never been able to get a choise photo until today. Yellow Volvo T5-R racing with the GTR was good too. On the subject of yellow, you'll notice it was quite a day for yellow Porsches for some reason, they were all over the place. Anyway, less talk...

Okay people, this is going to be a long one. Please be patient and look through the lot, you will not be disappointed :-)

on Saturday, around central London

Now, there was a dozen or so SPECIAL cars around Knightsbridge with number plates from Dubai (my best guess), and not one of these cars were the least bit uninteresting:

Hey Dac,

I think I can shed some light on all of those incredible cars around Knightsbridge. They usually come in on private jets mainly from Qatar (as the royal family now owns Harrod's) and also Bahrain. A number of those cars say Qatar in arabic on the plates. The Al-Khalifas and Al Thanis probably own a majority of those cars you spotted.

EDIT: the black Porsche with the red trim is from Kuwait, just read the plate 👍

The white and chrome Veyron actually belongs to the crown prince of Bahrain according to my fiancee who works at Harrod's. Come August 10th and Ramadan, these cars will be gone. Harrod's always experiences a massive boom in sales during this time of year as the Arab customers stock up for Ramadan then go home and show off their incredible shopping hauls.

Harrod's now caters to the Middle East to the extreme.

And right on cue, a few of my own using the fiancee's phone cam from the same place...

All the best
Maz

 

[Dac_Xint]

Thanks for clearing that up, it certainly explains a lot. I'm glad I caught them in the act

 

[Synwraith]

Yeah they literally drive from Harrod's down Sloane Street, as most of them have apartments there. Then it's back on the jet and home to Qatar.

Anyone who wants a look at those cars may as well head down to Knightsbridge any day this week

All the best
Maz

 

[SuperShouden]

Monday going shopping I suddenly saw this: Trio Porsche GT2, Maserati Gran Turismo, Audi TT RS:

This looks like something off of Top Gear...until you realize the third cars a TT. But still, seems Top Gear-ish.

I've really got to take my camera with me when I go out. There's a nice Primer grey Corvette C2 in my apartment complex and Someone owns a Cayanne (I know some of you will like that.) Plus, I've seen a nice Camaro, some Challengers and even an Audi R8 and a Tesla Roadster. I always mean to take a camera, but always forget.

 

[Hun200kmh]

Fiat Alfa Romeo Giulia Super:

Fixed it for you Vince . For some unexplainable reason I love this car in all its uglyness

@ all: amazing cars, thanks for sharing! 👍

 

[Danoff]

I don't have a photo (I was driving the other way), but the other day I saw a zonda in my neighborhood. I live in LA and see lots of expensive cars (I've seen a veyron out here), but I'd never in my life seen a zonda in person. I don't follow them carefully so I don't know exactly what kind it was, but it was definitely distinctive. Here's a picture of a Zonda to keep the page pretty.

 

[damez]

Saw this today driving home from work, from afar it looked like a Holden/Chevrolet Caprice. As I came close I noticed the USA flag and the siren lights etc. As it was turning of the side of the car had the whole "To serve and protect." livery, hubs and everything!

It's an Australian built Chevrolet Caprice Patrol Vehicle. It was an amazing thing to look at. Wouldn't mind an equivalent patrol car like that over here!

I live in Australia so this was a big WTF. I assume it was flown over here? As I work at Melbourne Airport, the tow truck was driving back from the Freight area.

EDIT:

It looked exactly like this:

Come to think of it in that picture, its got Australia Registration, and it could have possibly been the exact same car
