Just happened to spot a Porsche aswell, a Turbo



I'm not going to say what model exactly because it will most likely be wrong.

 

[TheCracker]

993

 

[poolhaas]

I need to brush up on my car model naming skills 💡

 

[JJ72]

993 turbo, my dad use to have one.

It was like the GTR of that era, destroys everything either on straight or in corners.

And the most beautiful 911 body ever imo.

 

[Rue]

And the most beautiful 911 body ever imo.

Agreed.

 

[Carlos]

And the most beautiful 911 body ever imo.

Can't argue with that!

Beautiful picture also Rue. You live in Japan, is that right?

I finally got 2 weeks of from work (first time in three years damnit), last week of december and first of januari, planning to go to Japan. Hope to have a blast there 👍 Maybe I'll spot something there but if the winter is strong, I probably don't Any tips to see to spot some 'awww' ?

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

993 FTW. I wish everybody didn't agree with that and they were as cheap as 996's!

Well, being a farmer is hard work, but delivering to fancy restaurants is great for my car spotting!

My first captured Aston started the day, across the street from where I parked to make my delivery. An XK pulled away before I finished my business and could pull out my camera.

Needless to say, getting my first Aston got my blood going so I decided to take a walk and see what else I found, and a block away here's a 997 Turbo Cabriolet (?)

Then directly under it in a little garage a Carrera 4S

Finishing my walk around the block, I spot this cute little guy, a Porsche 356 Super 90!

Continued up the street to the next block, thought about snapping a SLK230 Kompressor in hot pink, nah, not today. Nothing for a couple blocks, cross the street and this new Taurus SHO catches my eye:

And then an S2000, I do see them a fair bit, but I like them:

Heading back to the truck (don't want to take too long, still got another delivery to make) I spot a BMW that looks rather nice (saw my first couple 1 series earlier, but decided not to snap them), and what do I discover? An M3! Once saw an early 90's M3 but this was the first I could get a photo of:

Well, off to my next delivery. Oh, heck, I can take a quick peek in this parking lot. Wait, what's that?! A Triumph TR3!

Not sure if the rest of these are really worth posting, but... stopped at a junkyard on the way to the next delivery to get a power steering gearbox and was allowed to look around. First thing caught my eye was this Opel GT, precariously positioned:

Then a WM special, a 260Z:

and finally this mystery car:

Later, on the way back to the farm, noticed something interesting peeking its nose out, a '67 Fairlane... Ranchero! Utes FTW!

 

[Crumpet]

Then a WM special, a 260Z:

Makes me sad.

 

[jeffgoddin]

I'll get you the junk yard's contact info if you want to buy it and have it shipped to the UK so you can turn it into a Devil Z...

 

[Crumpet]

I can't afford it, hopefully someone will purchase such a car and give it a decent restoration. This 13 year old can't anyway.

 

[alex10798]

and finally this mystery car:

That's a Volvo P1800

 

[disinfected]

Didn't want to start a new thread on this, but I spotted a car by the side of the road, and can't figure out what it is. Manufacturer plates, masqueraded with black masking tape, looks like a Kia 5 or Suzuki Reno, but I'm not sure. I do know the left-front tire is flat!

Definitely the new Kia Rio5.

Saw this today hiding inside a warehouse downtown...driving by wasn't able to get a good picture. Very mysterious.

Looks to be an SLR McLaren, I saw a few cars over the past week or so, got pictures of them on my new smartphone just not sure how to upload them.

Goddin, how come we don't have many, many, MANY more pictures of the cars at the junkyard? I spot a couple of F-Bodies behind the Volvo, as well as some El Caminos, and the Opel is standing on the top of a vintage bus.

It will not happen again, you hear? If you are in a junkyard, you photograph everything that's intresting, dude.

Thanks, I'll try that as soon as I can get to my laptop.

Pretty sure it was. I need to go back by this week and see if I have better luck seeing it.

 

[poolhaas]

And my first Prowler ever seen in real life.

 

[CDailey]

Too bad it has crappy aftermarket scissor doors.

 

[poolhaas]

He looked happy enough to show it off

 

[alvin23a]

Well, seeing as there are only four real street legal GT40's on the planet, I'm gonna go ahead and say it was a replica. Also, next time please have pictures when you post.

It was on my way to school and I was running late so I didn't get a chance sorry.

Maybach, scouting for cars in the buildings next to work:

Civic CRX VTec, just passing town:

Old US car (Cougar), walking from hotel to a whisky event

Crap picture, but what a car Mercedes Benz SL Black Series, coming out of restaurant:

Still love the Aston Martin Vantage, both on the motorways, driving from and to Spa-Francorchamps (more than 20 km away, so did not see it as part of the event):

One day when I came home, someone was delivering beer???? in this Morgan

when driving from the summer house to work one morning: Smart Roadster Brabus

P.S.: Junkyard pictures for me classify as dealership and should not be on the street thread.
