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

[McLaren]

I'll have to ask him again why he had the project done, he's got several Lamborghinis so I guess it's good he didn't use his one Lamborghini to make it. Aren't you from around south Cali, Mclaren?

I'm from the Mid-West. Only been to Cali. a few times in my life.

 

[Alex.]

Fair enough, I must be confused with another member.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

I had that suspicion on the Saleen, but since I never see them here.

Some other things seen recently:

These pictures were taken in May. I should have uploaded them earlier. These cars are real Tommy Kaira zz-s`es. The owner said there was only 200 made before Tommy-Kaira went bankrupt. I saw the red one in motion and it did sound pretty awesome (for a straight four). The car living behind them is a late 60`s Chevelle. These cars are actually living in a old dusty store close to the road, but most people doosn`t even know there is something behind that dusty window. And yes those cars had GT:HD vinyls, maybe they were used in some GT promo event before they were imported from Japan?

The man standing beside the car on the last picture is the owner, he was so tall he had problems entering the car.

These pictures were taken when I visited the Ferrari museum in Morello in 2007:

Those were most of the cars in the museum. I know there was a 288 GTO there too, but I can`t find a picture of it. There also were a ferrari f430 and a f360 and a one-off 355 by Pininfarina or someone. We also saw a brand new 599 outside the factory and a late 40`s or early 50`s barchetta driving around town. There also was a purple Lamborghini Diablo doing burnouts around town.

By looking at these pictures now, I can see I also missed the car beside the Dino. What car is it?

And Luigi here lived outside a supermarket during daytime, so I guess someone worked there owned it.

I`m sorry about my lack of proper english. I work in Scotland but I still can`t talk the damn language

 

[Cano]

Nismo, cool street rods!!! that silver thing is awesome. Also, Toronado!!! :0

Jet, awesome ZZ-S awesomeness. I'ts cool to see one of those actually in real life. But cut the Ferrari stuff and give me more 69 Charger, please.

[exigeracer]

You retired the Panamera but still post Continental GTs?

I don't really mind either way, but at least here the CGTs are as common pigeons.

 

[astrosdude91]

I probably skipped over 15 Continental GT's and GTC's over the weekend. I just got that last one, since at least on the freeway it was a rarity. But anywhere else, they're basically retired. I may make it official along with the Quattroporte. I just wanted to retire the Panamera because I was tired of it.

 

[jet1991]

C3 Stingray Convertible:

C2 Corvette. Looks like a `65 or `66 small block. I`m not sure about that badge on the hood, but it might be a fuelie badge. The color looks like nassau blue which was discontinued after 65 so it might be a 1965. I don`t know this much about the cars, I found the info on howstuffworks and google image search

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Quite some nice cars posted again here, some belong in the event and showroom thread.

Mine really from the street:
One day shopping, this Porsche GT3 arrived, the paper in the front states "Doctor in function"! Must be for emergencies:

One day I needed to stop really urgently, when I looked around I saw this line up, Mini John Coopers Works, mat Black Ford Focus RS, Audi S5:

Sunday morning I was driving home from my parents and came across:

a Ferrari 430:

a BMW Z8 (actually 2, but I missed to take a picture of the second one):

a Smart Brabus:

a Pontiac Trans AM (not clear if the pace car stickers make sense):

One day driving home a Golf R in front of me:

same drive home: Audi R8 (saw it again this morning, but no picture there)

Day before if I remember well, going home: Mercedez Benz CL63 AMG

At lunch that day: Nissan 350Z with different wing:

Same lunch: Renault Fregate (same car as before, but this time driving)

Some lunch going shopping: Range Rover in mat black

It was a typo, I know that's a C2. It was just a case of hitting the 3 on accident.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Is that matte black RS the RS500? And the Trans Am looks right, atleast it looks the same as the ones on Google.

That's what I was thinking on that Focus. Why couldn't we get a super awesome Focus like that??

 

[buickgnx88]

Trans Am Pace Car:

In its second year, the Third Generation Trans Am was selected as the Daytona 500 Pace Car, and Pontiac offered a total of 2,500 Daytona Pace Car replicas through their dealerships. The exterior was painted with a two-tone White/Charcoal paint scheme, "Official Pace Car" decals on the doors, "NASCAR" decals on the rear quarter panels, and "PONTIAC" decals on the front windshield and rear glass. Decorating the front fenders just above the "TRANS AM" script were "25th ANNIVERSARY DAYTONA 500" emblems. A new graphic adorned the power bulge of the pace car's hood, and the limited-edition cars featured a special RPO W62, full body ground effects that extended around the entire car and molded plastic panels, with the "TRANS AM" script on the right-hand panel, in place of the standard Firebird nose grilles. Also included were: special 15-inch "AERO" wheels with White "Bowling Ball" hub caps. The interior featured red gauge lighting, leather clad steering wheel, shifter knob, and brake handle, a special dash plaque, "Daytona 500" floor-mats, and two tone Grey leather/suede Recaro seats. . The pace cars were available with the LU5 Crossfire-injected 305 mated to the new 700R4 4 speed overdrive automatic, or the carbureted LG4 305, mated to the T-5 Borg-Warner 5-speed manual.

I know that's what I always say. I've seen one here driving on M plates but no, we get the weird boring looking one.

 

[astrosdude91]

America get's this:

Europe get's this:

Seriously! Ugh!

 

[oskierox]

Seriously. I love those European Focus'

 

[exigeracer]

In North America, gentlemen, this is the jackpot:

The rarest BMW in North America of any kind? Probably not, but very close.

 

[Finnish Bomber]

That is a rare car, don't remember how many were made but not too much

 

[Cano]

and a cool one at that. Wagons are always cool. Good pictures, Exige.

now... why is it rare?

 

[Crash]

If I understand correctly, the E30 Tourings were never officially imported to North America. There are a few gray imports, and this is one of the very very few.

 

[land sea air]

not only that, but it is a 325ix all wheel drive, they are decently rare as sedans but to have a rare version of a car that was never even sold here... Must have cost as much as an M3 if it was brought over when new.

 

[exigeracer]

Touring models had to be imported, and this is the 325ix, which is adds more rarity. I see more Z1s come up for sale than these.

And lsa, I've never seen an ix Touring come up for sale, but the most recent 325i Touring I saw went for over 11,000, which is almost M3 territory.

 

[HenGTX]

we've got two for sale here.

frankly I would rather have the ix touring, though it is an insane amount of money to pay for a near 25 year old car that isn't an M3

awesome spot!

 

[Cano]

aaaaah now I see, even more awesome!!!!
