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

[paunstefan]

In this case, I apologize. Next time when I will post here, I will have a photo.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Is part of the fun in this thread trying to guess what models we're looking at? Because if not (wouldn't want to ruin the fun) I would love to know what some of these cars are. Thanks!

 

[Crumpet]

That's great but you need to post a picture of your spots. Just saying you saw something is really uninteresting and goes against the thread's rules.

I know, thing is I dropped my Camera down the toilet a few months ago.

Will post an image next time.

 

[Cano]

that 86 is perfect, damn. Also, nice Vespa.

 

[Cale]

Pajero EVO OH MY GAWD

 

[Brett]

I am really starting to think that Hong Kong has no dust, dirt, grime, or anything that would get a car dirty. I do not think I have seen a single car that is not spotless.

What, you mean you don't know them all? What kind of a petrolhead are you?! Haha! I used to label my photos but since Flickr changes the filenames to a bunch of random numbers I don't anymore. If you click on the pics it will re-direct you to my Flickr page where all the pics are titled.

Could have sworn I pressed 'Quote' rather than 'Reply'. Sorry for double-post.

What, no love for the Midnight Purple R33 mate...? You surprise me!

Legnum VR-4




Accord SiR

What is the small little fender mirror on the nose of the Pajero?

Okay, that helps! Thought that was an MR-2, and Euro Accord Type R. I kind of know most of what I'm looking at but I definitely need to learn more. What does this other business in your labels mean, if anything: vw_golfr_bxc_s_01, that's a Golf R, but BXC? Or toy_celica_mm2775_s_01, does the mm2775 mean anything? I gathered the s_01, s_02 is shot number.

wat?
*goes see*
Ah yeah. I forgot after seeing 50 more cars. I also like the white GTR with gold wheels.

I'll let you work that part out!

Dude owns a red Ford GT, silver Carrera GT, silver Zonda F, black Diablo, modded orange Murcielago, red F355 and California.

What is the small little fender mirror on the nose of the Pajero?

Simply to see the off-side of the car (the width of the car can be hard to judge due to the wide arches). Sometimes the mirror is on the driver-side, sometimes the passenger-side. I think factory-fitted mirrors are all passenger-side, custom-fitted are mostly driver-side.

It can also be helpful in competition for squeezing through narrow time gates.

 

[Carlos]

Hey, we're all friends here no need to call potential posters stupid! Paunstefan, as Carlos says, you need to post a pic too...

You are right, I editted my post!

This GTR, looks odd..

 

[robert_]

Ferrari 599, in Norway and that is unusual, for me.

 

[Rue]

I editted my post!

👍

Hmmm, how so? I like the Volk GT-C wheels usually but not this application.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Nice TT

i-VTEC Accord Coupe with Honda Racing badge!

Sorry, no Lambos, Ferraris, LSA's, R8's, DB9's, or GT-R's in my neighborhood, thought I do see a ton of BMW's, Benzes, Jags and Audis and saw what I thought were a couple of Porsche SUV's last week... And a spanking new 2011 WRX Sti flew by me on the freeway before I could react, that was exciting!

 

[M-POWER_FTW]

Very rare for Queens, New York. The MG has Pennsylvania plates.

 

[Dac_Xint]

Now I can go back into dormant... Cheers Rue for the long ass walk! We should do that again in a few months...

 

[GTR3mh]

Red Golf and yellow R34 = brain explosion.

Oh, and you were definately right about the conditions being perfect with the Impreza.

 

[Rue]

Yellow GT-R is spooficious! Nice photos all round (bar the prat on the floor - haha)!

Also, long walk?! Pah! I did a 15 km kayak trip today...

 

[Cano]

We should do that again in a few months hours...

Fixed for you... both. And that Legnum is pure sex. If only it had other wheeelllssssss

Just gotta say, I love your photo's... the cars aside, the photos are full, rich and interesting.

What camera do you use... and do you do much work in photoshop, or are they like that off the camera?

 

[AOS-]

Yes. I saw a Shiny Silver R35 GT-R

 

[Carlos]

Hmmm, how so? I like the Volk GT-C wheels usually but not this application.

Gold wheels with the chrome lip, blacked out lights, looks so ricey on this car..👎

Thanks :-D, always happy to hear someone appreciates my feeble attempts. There are a bunch of really talented photographers here on GTP, I only wish they participated in day to day shooting and not just occasional photo shoots.

I rarely use Photoshop to tweak photos now, the days of effects has come and gone for me. I shoot in RAW, lately on my Olympus Pen (E-P2), this camera performs amazingly well (compared to my 5 year old Canon 30D which I still use from time to time) so there's very little editing needed to bring "out" the pictures. I use Photoshop Lightroom to edit my photos, mostly just to correct white balance, saturation and contrast and a few other tweaks here and there.

 

[TheCracker]

Auto Union DKW F89

Great spot with the DKW 👍

Must be incredibly rare in the US. The only one i've ever seen in Europe was on the race track.

I think it's a DKW 3=6/F91 rather than the earlier F89.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Love that DKW as well.

In the last months I saw some trailers:

Going to the summer house to pick-up the post in winter:

Trailer TVR Sagaris (with some damage on the door):

Trailer (model is too hard for me on this one), during quick lunch:

Thanks for the input: Ferrari 328 GTS

Trailer, while waiting for a tow truck after an accident (don't ask ):
