Yeah that red Corvette is not a ZO6

Camo car is the new Malibu.

Wow, that was quick, thanks!

Indeed, first one in here? amazing anyhow.

I also like that 1970 Coronet, Nismo. I was a day away to buying one of those but other guy was there before me. Theen I got married and the money hasn't been here ever since. At least not to buy a project car :crazy:

It's one of my favorite muscle cars, something about the looks, I just love it.
 
Fantastic Lambo LM002. There's one that gets around here too, but I'm yet to see it unfortunately.

Very slow day today. For some reason there were only a tiny percentage of the usual hordes of supercars on our streets on Sunday. Maybe it was the weather which was grey, humid and dreary. Still, I did take a bag full of photos and I've put some of the sharper ones up first. Much more to come later!

EDIT: Ah, crap! The previews of m pictures are 1024x768 instead of the usual 640x480. If it's a problem I can change them but it's quite a lot of hassle. Let me know if you need me too.
 
they're good as are, bud! Thaat 356 is quite freaking rare. Where were you now? These are not your usual on-the-bridge stuff, but they are pin-sharp! very nice.
 
Some spots from the past 2 days.

Audi R8 Spyder in a disabled spot.

5722711231_5ea9f93596_z.jpg

Saw that in the same place I saw a Zonda 2 years ago.

And an R33 Nissan Skyline, taken from a window using a crappy phone.

Me and a mate went to the corner of the flyover just under the Bank of China. You'd recognise the building...

Just on the raised corner directly in the bottom left-middle of the picture above. Not a bad place to stand and take pics!
The rest of the photos from yesterday. If you click on the pics you can pick up the large ones from Flickr as usual and see any annotations I've made. or a day on which I thought cars were pretty thin on the ground there are a few decent pictures. Hope you enjoy them! F

Been superduper busy so not much shooting for me other than this quick set. Now that I'm funemployed I'll have more time to get out and take pikcherz!!

This was kickin' back at uni today on my afternoon walk.

Anyone oversees who is unaware of what they do, they are the detuned VXR8 (so an SS Commodore) tuned to be faster.

They sort of do this...




This one in particular I am almost certain is supercharged making 800hp.

Pretty bloody rare things, too. Lucky enough to have an outlet around the town where I am, but its the first time I have spotted one with a camera.

Rue, the GTRs, the Toyota in your last post, all amazing! Specially the Corolla, awesome little junkbox.

And 80Y 2C2, that blue Commodore looks incredible with those wheels, amazing car. I love how violent an LS engine can get.

It’s been ages since I last posted something. Lets see…

Check out the slightly flared fenders in this 65-66 Mustang with Cragars and really wide rear meats. I remember full well that I heard this car before I saw it appear. In fact the sound was what allowed me to take the camera out in time.
bra061.jpg


Slightly ahead from the Mustang was this fin-tail Mercedes used as a wedding car. Pristine, but the camera didn’t come out in time to capture it full well.
bra063.jpg


I should really stop posting pictures of cars I barely caught. In stark contrast to the street-freakish Mustang in the first pic, this one is still in full-grandpa trim.
bra064.jpg


Want to renew your outfit? None place finer than a VW Thing in plain street. Come on, this is awesome.
bra065.jpg


Yet another terrible picture, and while I normally capture these cars for the lulz, this one actually has some engine and suspension work done to it, it’s turbocharged and has rear disc brakes, for starters. I’ve seen this car at events.
bra069.jpg


This thing was sitting half a block away from my house, so I went to grab the camera and got these shots. The wheels are Empi 5-spoke knock-offs, and it could sit a LOT lower, but it was pretty clean nonetheless.
bra076.jpg


1964 Buick Riviera, extrtemely extremely rare here, as they were never sold in Mexico. Buick left the country in 1962 as many other car makers because local laws demanded that a big percentage of the cars sold in here, I think about 85%, were made in Mexico completely. This was in great shape, loads of potential for a mild custom.
burrorampante003.jpg


Absolutely pristine 1971 Ford LTD hardtop that… well, let’s just say isn’t used much, as I’ve never ever seen it move. It is maintained and well cared, but I have never seen it move from where it is. Dig that blue vinyl top.
burrorampante005.jpg


A Pontiac… whatever it’s called, wagon. Yes I know many people will say that these are as common as rats, but not in Mexico. This wagon bodystyle was never offered here, not even in Malibu form. Being a Pontiac, it’s almost worthy.
burrorampante006.jpg


Back of a dealer held this pretty cool Scud in full black bad-assness. Those wheels aren’t stock, right?
burrorampante033.jpg


Ducatti 748 near my house. Thing sounded INSANE.
burrorampante038.jpg


Two Ferraris in one post, people. This will never happen again with me. Properly, one was in a trailer.
burrorampante041.jpg


Ah, that’s more like it. 1953 Chevy, mildly customized, lowered, skirted, antenna’ed,
Lots of trim shaved.. maybe not on purpose, just lose those stupid yellow front lights and you’re good to go. Cool car.
burrorampante042.jpg


1968 Opel in sad shape. It’s amazing how these little things (and many other cars from the era ir you really look into them) look like down-sized muscle cars. This thing can swallow a small V8, I’m sure, so the potential is there, but no one seems to pay any attention to these cars. A shame, they’re pretty pretty.
burrorampante045.jpg


In front of the Opel sat this 1952 Chevy hardtop in even worse shape. No need to say what you can do with one of these, but heck, it’s gotta be complete…
burrorampante047.jpg


This little Bertone Fiat was lying in the parking place of an apartment building near work, it sat there for two years on flat tires until one day it was gone. Pretty much mint and the wheels looked pretty good in it.

No rice this time, amazingly.
 
I think your Scud is a regular F430 Cano (front intakes are the giveaway). The wheels are Enzo/FXX style.

The Ducati V-Twin engine has to be one of, if not the greatest contemporary automotive soundtracks.
