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

The black door handles spoil it.

The black door handles spoil it.

They do kinda.

 

[Rue]

I think the door handles are just about the only redeeming feature... horrible.

Hello again,

Here are a few things from me here in Hong Kong:

Ford Mustang GT.... very rare out here, my first!

I'm seriously not being rude at all but that really made me laugh out loud. I just can't imagine the Mustang GT being rare anywhere.
They are in like 1 of every 10 driveways in Kentucky. I can literally see two of them right now out of my window. The Cobra's are a little less rare but they are still everywhere too.

Anyway, I saw this car yesterday at the movie theatre and got some phone pics. It's my friend's 94 Supra TT, we are guestimating 400bhp?? with the current mods and tune. So far its cool air intake, blow off valve, bigger intercooler, down and mid pipes, exhaust and cpu. This car sounds ridiculous good at full boost, kinda like a little IRC car. It's probably the Mustang GT of Japan, but ours don't have that weird hood scoop

I know you're not being rude at all, but I just want to say that actually, Mustangs would indeed be rare out in HK. American cars are generally relatively rare; you do get Fords, but the tend to be more European Fords than American Fords. Remember, different markets like different types of vehicles, and the HK just don't have a lot of Mustangs. Think of it this way, you would probably say that pre-R35 Skylines (all the variations, not just the GT-R) are rare here in America; in contrast they aren't all that rare in HK.

Well ive only ever come across one mustang. It lives nearby and is a nothing special 90s model. Only stands out because its american! To the layman it looks like any other car. Will have to try getting a photo sometime

It's funny how "exotic" cars differ from place to place. I wish we had Skylines everywhere here instead of Mustangs. I've never got to drive a GT-R yet but I've had the pleasure(?) of manhandling many GT's and one very angry 98 Cobra. We have an unusually high number of Corvettes here too, I guess it's because they build them in Ky?

Tell you what, we'll trade you some of our Ferrari's and GTR's for your US muscle cars! Deal?

 

[Cale]

What would you trade for a '68 Corvette 427?

 

[Hollidog]

I live in New Zealand and we have literally thousands of Skylines, Silvias, Evos, Subarus etc, because here we get all of our cars from Japan.

More interesting than this, last year when I was in London, it was like I was in Mecca. Supercars crawling all over the place. I was in Knightsbridge with one of my dads friends and we were in his apartment on the balcony, and every car that came past was either a Ferrari/Lamborghini/Porsche/Aston Martin/Bugatti/Rolls Royce/Bentley pretty much every thing that you can imagine, I saw. Including a Pagani Zonda R, just parked on the street for anyone to look at. It was ridiculous. Then I went to the British GP and that was even more mental, and dont even get me started on Goodwood Festival of Speed. Seriously if you live in the UK you absolutely must go there.

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

I would be all for that.
But, Oh man. You should see the selection of muscle cars here. It is crazy. There's going to be a car show in town in a couple of weeks. I'll take some pics and put em up on here. The last one I went to was smal and still had well over 100 old classic muscle cars all in amazing shape and other cars too. Everything from chop top 30's & 40's roadsters to V8 muscle to 3 DeLoreans. This one should have a much bigger attendance so hopefully we'll get some good entries.

A Ferrari 360 convertible I saw in my neighborhood while I was walking my dog:

Only in America would you have a Ferrari 360 Spider parked at the house across the street from a Chrysler Sebring convertible.

And the two E100 Corolla's parked right next door!

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Whoever owned the Ferrari was from out of town. But yeah, not that many decent cars in my neighborhood, other than a guy down the street that owns a S14.

[66'Roadster]

Eww that 360 looks nasty as a soft top!

 

[Brett]

Eww that 360 looks nasty as a soft top!

The 360 Spider is not really meant to be seen with the soft top up though.

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Saw these a day ago.

The S4 had a carbon fiber trunk and hood. Sedan <3

 

[Morrac32]

The days I didn't have my camera with me (I started taking it with me just in case I did see something) I saw a 1972 (I think) Olds 442, 1968 Camero, 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback (this car was really well done), and best thing I saw the other day was a brand new Aston Martin Rapide....you don't see these cars where I live....ever.

Hmmm, I prefer the look of the California. Not many modwrn Ferraris look that nice to be honest!

 

[astrosdude91]

Went spotting for a bit yesterday.

Alfa Romeo 159 SportWagon. It's a real rarity in these parts, since I'm pretty sure they never sold these in the Americas, so it had to come from Europe:

Fantastic sounding V8 Coupe showed up at the intersection:

While we were out spotting, my friend's Jetta hit 40,000 miles:

DB9:

GT-R:

Elise:

I believe this is a BF Performance Murcielago. Correct me if I'm wrong:

Phantom:

This Lexus RX had plates from the US Department of State. They must of loaned the car to some Foreign Dignitary:

SVT Reptar:
