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

[Vince_Fiero]

I was told in a village near my parents there was a Porsche GT2 RS, this is the best I found:

I see regularly Jaguar XK R, but this RS is something I hardly ever saw:

Please excuse the rubbish picture (taken from my phone, and from a distance)... but, I spotted a yellow Lamborghini Diablo on my way back from work this afternoon, cruising past the Kelvin Hall. Got a good look at it, and I figured that, being a lovely sunny day, it was likely to be back along this way before long. My psychic powers were confirmed almost immediately, as it came past my flat just moments after I got to my window, luckily with my phone almost ready to get a shot of it... I did a quick search on the web, however, and it would seem that it is infact a replica... reg was something like L22MBO, but it could have been L222MBO, which apparently is a replica known around these here parts...

Saw this earlier today:

MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN. I hereby proclaim this to be the coolest spot in this thread since the year begun. AWESOME car.

Also, Laguna Seca, Elise and Camaro, and got damn the guy from Mexico could at least be driving a Clio Sport!

Managed to grab 45 mins of spotting on the Island at midday on Sunday. A few decent spots but nothing incredible.

In the morning I was out at the weekly Sunday morning drive out in the New Territories. For a ridiculously muggy and humid day there was a great turnout. The cars were crammed in at all angles. Mostly run of the mill supercars but there were a few nice Japanese motors present too. Click the pics below to go to the gallery...

Those looks pretty incredible to me! And the NSX!!! is that the real deal?

Forgot this, pink Escort Cosworth

 

[Rue]

Well there's something you don't see everyday! Nice spot, I actually like it...

 

[Liquid]

Triumph Spitfire
Spotted it as I crossed the car park into work. A rather gorgeous model

 

[jeffgoddin]

@Rue
Didn't notice the massive snorkel on that NSX until I checked your gallery. Nice Evo vs WRX shots, too!

And then i had to wonder why we didn't get to see this one here???

So quite a day:

At lunch driving back I came across this Porsche 911, anyone that can specify further?

Going shopping after work this Ferrari 599 showed up (same question):

next this new Mercedes CLS in mat gold going to the same shop as me:

This weekend driving around this MG:

Also this weekend in a trainstation (so not an event that would exclude it from this thread):

 

[MNLumberjack]

Didn't get a picture but I saw a datsun (now Nissan) 280zx
Great looking old car
Although it sounded like a lawn mower

Because it was at the meet and not 'in the wild'.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Old Mercedes

G Wagon

Truck

Monte Carlo?

Maserati GT

 

[Cano]

Chevelle, bud. 1975 I think.

 

[Stotty]

This I saw on a street in Harrogate. I have no idea what it is, though it could be a one off home built...

I thought this was a good spot as they are very rare cars... Jaguar XJR-15. Only 50 ever built. Sorry the pics are poor quality but I was driving at the time!

 

[land sea air]

absolutely amazing spot Stotty! did you get a look at the engine on the unknown? it almost looks like some sort of motorcycle engine slung way out in front like that.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Great spots Stotty, that Jag is epic.

This lunch, Excalibur, I had to chase it since it was too far away on the road, I did not have my camera so this is on the parking later with my phone:

No, I didn't... was with my Boss store calling, so didn't really have time to have a good poke about.

 

[Rue]

XJR-15!!! Amazing spot, even if it was on a trailer. These things apparently had lethal handling! I would never expect to see them in a month of Sundays.

 

[Cano]

XJR-15? WHAT.

amazing, has to be one of the top spots of all time in this thread. Really, mind blowing.

 

[TheCracker]

Fantastic spot with the XJR-15 Stotty! - one of my all-time favourite cars. I know the handling was ment to be scary in it's day, but i bet Don Law could get one working ok.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

can't remember the last time i seen a mint astra gte!

 

[TheCracker]

I didn't think an unmodified one existed anymore. I bet the owner's a John Cleland or Louise Aitken-Walker fan

 

[LP670-4 SV]

Saw and S65 Brabus on my way back from school.....the thing looked like it would have obliterated the freeway tarmac if he decided to floor it

Wish i could have taken a picture but i was driving

 

[Carlos]

can't remember the last time i seen a mint astra gte!

Wow this car is pretty rare

 

[R1ch85]

Wow this car is pretty rare

Not as rare as the Astra GTE Quicksilver that was for sale at the dealership down the road from my house.

The garage has since sold it to another dealer. Found Here now. I didn't think anything of it when I saw it first so I didn't get any pics.. turns out they're rare as hens teeth and I missed a golden opportunity to get something really rare.

I know the rules about claimed spots and pics here, on this occaison I just thought nothing of the car til after it had gone 👎
