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

[TheCracker]

I want to say back in '60s they did, but I'm not sure.

Pretty sure they must have done in the early sixties. 'Somebody' Griffith had the same idea as Shelby and put a Ford V8 into a British sports car, the TVR Grantura, and produced the TVR Griffith.

That was the car I was thinking of. I've see a ton of them at events with left hand drive, and my dad wants one so we read about them a lot.

TVR sold cars in the States through to 1986, with the 280 being the last model available. `

Love the contrast between the cheapest black Ferrari convertible you can possibly buy to one of the most expensive.

Anywaysssss looks like this photography hobby of mine comes in cycles every year. This past summer I didn't go out with the intention of shooting cars nearly as much, but when an opportunity like this presents itself a couple doors down, I had to snap a couple shots:

 

[Bogie 19th]

I was at Road America last weekend. Saw this in general parking:

 

[Adam41]

Nothing campared to what you lot post, but today I saw a Gallardo Spyder, a prestine white E92 M3 and an '08 Mustang in the space of 20 minutes. Not bad for Nottingham.

Where did you see a Lambo in Notts? Best I've seen is an OLD Mustang & an R34 across the street (though it looks slightly odd to me) Oh & my friend down the road had this pretty awesome tuned Supra (with a custom graphic (by him))

 

[WeinerSchnitzel]

Here are some pictures my dad took. He works at Kennedy Space Center and they're filming Transformers 3 right now there right now.

Ferrari 458 Italia, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette concept(convertible?), and a Mercedes.

NASCAR again... Decepticons, probably.

Here's a video of all the cars

I hate you because of your city. Really.

 

[Rue]

Black F50. Gawp...

Those odd monster NASCAR's are pretty interesting too.

 

[WeinerSchnitzel]

Yes, they are pretty odd. They're for the movie Transformers 3.. Forgot to add that!

 

[exigeracer]

I hate you because of your city. Really.

I pass a lot of spectacular cars in mundane locations too, keep that in mind. Unless the car is something above and beyond awesome, I won't shoot street-parked cars anymore. Just down the street from that Supra was some sort of special edition Aston Martin (may have been another N400 or a V10 Vantage) but I've gotten so bored of shooting the curbside stuff. I'm sure there are some awesome spots where you are, but you may not notice them because it's far less likely that there is a 100,000$ car sitting in front of it.

Anyways, I saw these two cars parked up and thought how many points it would have gotten me in the GTP Scavenger Hunt. Imagine, two white 3G STi's parked next to one another by chance.

I also caught this this thing today. No idea at all what it could be, other than Japanese.

Excuse the lack of actual photography, only had my iThingy and wasn't expecting the hipshot while riding in the first shot.

 

[JER_CREST]

that is a Nissan Pao. it was on Gran Turismo 4.

Looks like a Corvette C7 Roadster or Spyder. Interesting.

I've seen a nice cream white Ford Torino and a red Ferrari 512 TR

I hate you even more. You see spectacular cars in BOTH cool spots and normal spots, hahaha.

I am always looking for places bud, I need locations, remember?

And it's a pity you dont do any more side street photo, your spots were always cool.

Whilst I was waiting for the bus in Arnold, north of the centre of Nottingham.

Today I saw an R8 just outside the city centre, a '99 Elise and 2 nice looking Breras.

They were fast, then. I've heard that Washington D.C. is in the process of closing streets for them next week.

 

[Jondot]

The exhaust at idle was loud enough to vibrate the brake pedal of the Corsa I was driving. Cool

Well we may be in luck. Just yesterday I broke* my only (ha!) lens, so it looks like I'll be getting something better a lot quicker than I had thought. Looking at a cheap used 50/1.8. Should be great.

*the infinity stop in my lens is apparently too weak for the body's AF motor and frequently breaks. This makes the entire camera useless as the body needs to find infinity focus every time it turns on, regardless of AF or MF. I'm not qualified nor time-wealthy to fix it myself, so I'm just going to shop around for a quick 50mm.

Frequently? haha, wtf...

anyway, I know you'll be like a boy with a new toy when you get it so we'll see some stuff from you. Also, how cheap is cheap?

 

[Dac_Xint]

My latest:

Some of these has been posted before but in poor quality, I wanted to test some new technique so please bare with me :-)

Volvo 220 GL Injection

Porsche Carrera 993

Vauxhall VX220

Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole

 

[ND4SPD]

Cool orange Barracuda with AAR type striping down the side except it said "340" instead of AAR. Sounded great.

Very nice!

 

[Dac_Xint]

Some more:

X1 looks pretty good actually, the Q5 is still prettier IMO

Nevertheless, still the best budget sports car

Frequent among those who have them. It can only break once.

I'm aiming to spend a hundred bucks.

While I was on holidays on the Sunshine Coast (never trust Queenslanders with place names - it was raining most of the time) I decided to do a bit of car spotting as it is almost the only time of year that I will see any interesting cars on the road.

Jaaaaag XK

MG

1980's Maserati

Corvette C6

Audi R8

1920's Chevrolet

Very blurry pic of a Triumph

Focus RS (just released in Australia in the last month or so).

I missed taking pictures of quite a few cars (quite a lot actually). They were:
Jaaaaag E Type
Lexus ISF
Bentley Azure
1970's Dodge Challenger
Alfa Giulia Sprint GTV
Bentley Continental GT Convertible
Citroen 2cv (yes, someone still drives one of these)
Corvette C3.

Cool orange Barracuda with AAR type striping down the side except it said "340" instead of AAR it is a 1973-74 instead of a 1970. Sounded great.

Fixed (:

And Paul, that Miata is awesome! nice interior too.

 

[Rue]

Personally, I can't abide wood in any car after about 1972. That and chrome. If I bought an MX-5 I all that would have to be the first to go. That's just me though.
