What a green car (pardon the pun).

By the way, you take some amazing pictures, what camera/lens combination(s) do you use?

Keep up the good work!

Says you, you're from ENGLAND. :dunce:

And what does that have to do with anything? đź‘Ž

What I saw:

Ferrari 612

B18 and lotta goodies..
 
I was driving on the 91W in Orange County, CA yesterday and drove along next to a gunmetal grey/black striped Ford GT for about 10 minutes. Some old guy driving. I could literally feel the reverbs through the floorboards when he touched the accelerator. My girlfriend snapped a not-so-quality photo with her phone - when I get ahold of it, I'll upload it if it's worth looking at. I was in my Tacoma and I felt like I could've just driven right up and over that thing if it were facing me. :lol:
 
I saw a Toyota Sera! That gullwinged oddity... it was very odd looking in the flesh too.

However, much more strange, sort of, was seeing a Peugot RCZ. Its a coupé, has a proper double bubble roof. And it made me stop and just Stare! It looks really really special, in the way that usually only very very expensive and rare cars manage. I dont think the bright white paint hurt it either. Lol

Then, in tescos, saw one of the 500 matte black focus RS specials in the car park... a paintjob that looks awesome despite resembling a breathed over bin bag. Love it!

Nismo, your hot rods are... the first one is a 1936 Plymouth (which, btw, has a new-gen hemi, awesome), the second one, a 1936 Chevrolet. The lowboy is a 32 Ford, and the "Chevy" is no chevy but a Pontiac GP or a Buick Century from around 1975-1977, I'm not sure.
 
Yesterday I first saw a green Lotus Elise and then, when I changed the driving line a dark red Ferrari 355 passed me.

I was driving behind the Ferrari, but on the highway it was gone...

Then a Corvette Stingray passed me. The summer is coming, so people are taking out their nice cars =)

Sorry for no picture, but I was driving myself =)

[*]Don't just state the name of the car. Give us a picture at least - even if it's a crap one from a camera phone. If you can't show us the car, how can we believe that you saw it? And don't just replicate an image from Supercars.net or the vendor's web site: we want to see THE car that you saw.

See it. Snap it. Post it.

Seem to be fighting a losing battle with this one, eh? This is about the third time in a couple of pages. Here are a couple to make up for it with plenty more to come tomorrow.

Saw these amongst others today. Just another sunny Sunday in Hong Kong!

great set Rue, the grey and red GT3RS and the R34 Skyline are truly droolable. and who in heck drives a 599 GTO on the street? amazing.
 
Yeah I saw a Gallardo.

And a cool looking Challenger

And a Delorean

http://img585.imageshack.us/i/imageve.jpg/

Then a Bullitt Mustang

http://img197.imageshack.us/i/imagehqo.jpg/

And then another Bullitt Mustang

http://img576.imageshack.us/i/imageeva.jpg/

And finally, a blue Viper!

And I've seen other exotics such as a few Lambos and a couple Ford GTs and an Aston but I don't have any pics of those...

Less flapping lips about what you 'might see' JaiAE86 and xNEVER-ONEx :rolleyes: and more pic posting of what you actually did.
 
Wasn't out to photograph cars in any way, but of course here in Hong Kong you're always going to get something passing by. Didn't bother to photograph a bunch of stuff but this one deserves a post...


por_997gt3rs_nd7506_l_01 by R-W-P, on Flickr

Errr... and this 16M was alright. The Calibra was completley unexpected which is more than I can sayt for the GTR. I'm going to go out on a limb and say we have more GTR's per capita than anywhere else in the world...

Rue, you make me want to move to Hong Kong. But then, I'll see so many exotics, I'll come home and see a Lambo and pay more attention to the old Ford Taurus next to it.

No you didn't, those are at a show. Please limit what you post here to street, "in the wild" spots. There is a thread for show and showroom spotting in here.
 
Hummer H3T, I hardly ever see any of the pick-ups running around mostly because I think it was a sales disaster. There is zero point to this vehicle when you had the Colorado that was more or less the same thing for thousands less.

IMG_0547.jpg


Audi Q5 Hybrid, I wasn't even aware then made a hybrid version. It was running on M plates too, probably out of the VAG HQ in Auburn Hills.

IMG_0550.jpg


And the new Buick Verano, a rebadged Chevy Cruze and a car that no Buick buyer will understand or even want. I think this is possibly the stupidest car GM's come out with in a while. At least it'll be "cheap" with a starting price of $21,000.

They were all driving away from me. By which i mean, as im not legally allowed to drive, my dad was driving, so i couldnt exactly stop. :-( i will however, very soon hopefully, get some shots of the DB9 that lives round the corner up.

Both are of a car that lives down the street (i recognised the plate) in Falkirk. But here, it is in the Ikea Car Park... dont think he'll have been buying very much :-P

Ok well the Gallardo and 2 Bullitts weren't at any type of show or dealer. The other cars were.

Nice DB9. I was supposed to be in Scotland this month but unforseen events meant I couldn't. Hope to get up there towards the end of the year.

Click for biggie...
