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

[AudiPro]

Panamera Turbo


Aston Martin Vantage Convertible


Bentley Continental GT


Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead


And right next to the Drophead pulling out of the parking garage was...A Rolls Royce Corniche V


NOTE: Im not sure what the last Rolls exactly but I think its a Corniche

 

[jeffgoddin]

MR2

Not an MR Spyder or MR-S?

Anyway, great pics, though I suspect the last half were from some kind of an automotive related event. I guess since they were just parked cars and not featured it's okay, though!

And for me:

BWM 550i new series (F10). No, not incredibly special, but top of the line 5 series and I could tell when it accelerated away from me. Dayyummm!!!

De Soto

poor Camaro...

still in service!

Right about here is when I decided to stop taking pictures of Carreras and Boxsters, saw a couple. Long ago decided to not take pictures of Stingrays and modern corvettes unless ZR1/Z06 etc.

Also right here is when the big fish got away. In the 7 seconds it took me to get my camera out of my pocket, turn it on, and wait for it to be ready to go, my prey had already eluded capture. But you better believe I'm going to be deliberately stalking it from now on. V12 SL55 AMG!!!

but to continue, nifty old Bronco:

Sky, just wanted to capture one:

Maserati! Extremely rare for me:

300ZX Twin Turbo, love these 90's sports cars. Supras and RX-7s, too.

and finally, note the Handicapped tag on the rearview, this 350 Chevelle:

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

Hong Kong. Not far away.

I seen a Porsche Panamera. I also seen two small Bentleys, but I have no idea what they were. They were very new. Anyone know what they were?

 

[astrosdude91]

That's a CRX not a civic.

Well if you want to get technical, the car is called the Civic CR-X, so Vince is still right.

Small Bentley? An oxymoron. Smallest Bentley is the Continental GT. There's a facelift one out now, but it's small like a naval cruiser is small compared to an aircraft carrier.

*shaking fist*

 

[Rue]

NISMO_SKYLINE, your shots are great but I think many of them belong in the sister thread. Just sayin'...

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Yea, I wasn't sure since they were all spread out over the various parking lots. None of them were really in a show, I'm not sure where the line starts for an event and where it stops at cars just parked around.

300ZX Twin Turbo, love these 90's sports cars. Supras and RX-7s, too.

That's from the 80's.

 

[Cano]

Wicked post, Nismo!!! The Torino picture looks very good, should have zoomed in more, but great stuff none the less. Awesome pictures as usual, Rue. The Land Rover ins indeed sick. Goddin, your Chevelle is an Impala.

 

[Pupik]

Definitely the new Kia Rio5.

Thanks! Great work on figuring that one out!

There was a Hyundai Elantra "support vehicle" near it, so that explains some of it.

 

[disinfected]

As far as what it was doing up in the state that shall not be named (I'm from Ohio.) I have no explanation.

I was in Michigan for a few days on work. Drove on the old Detroit Grand Prix Circuit before catching the next flight out, just for fun.

 

[poolhaas]

Saw this yesterday and took a photo today. Unknown to me so don't know how common it is (the one in the middle ).

 

[disinfected]

Oooh, this is a tough one. What could it be?

 

[Mark II Blit]

I'm pretty sure it's a 1969 Ford Capri. These Germans are quite rare, actually. Oh, and is that picture from Belgium? They were also built there, in Genk

 

[poolhaas]

My dad worked in Genk for 30 years, probably too late for this car.

I must admit most of my pictures would fit in the 'guess what car' thread, no need for photoshop blurs

 

[axletramp]

I think that's a bit later. I would say a '73 1600XL, going by the wheels, black back panel and vinyl roof.

EDIT: Today I did see a crappy Toyota 4x4 with an outboard motor bolted to the back of it as if that's how he used it. No pics I'm afraid, but I'm sure I'll see it again.

 

[jeffgoddin]

That's from the 80's.

Even better!

And thanks for the correction Cano, for some reason I thought I read Chevelle on the back of it, and I'm not yet familiar enough with the encyclopoedic history of automobiles to know when I'm being silly. But I'll keep practicing!

And had an interesting day out. Saw this on the way into a parking lot where I was about to pitch my produce to some restaurateurs:

I said hey, that just might be...

an STi!!!! My first, I believe, and I love the older series.. which one was this? VI? VII?

Still grinning about my good luck, I turned and before I could get in the 1st restaurant's door, I shat my pants when I saw this:

NISMO 370Z!!! again, my first. heck, first NISMO anything. I've spent the rest of the day hoping these two get together and race after work.

I did spot a few more interesting things. Mini:

Mystery car. Said GranTurismo on the side, has what looks like a tuning fork on the panel behind the driver's side window, and hubcaps have a distinctive S like symbol. Any ideas? Looked Italian as Dante's Inferno to me.

Rolls in my rear view... Silver Shadow? Corniche?

And a crappy Olds 88 from the mid '70's

Mystery car solved...and not Italian. That's a Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk.

 

[Cano]

your "italian car" is a 1958 Studebaker Hawk, Goddin. Yeah, ahead of their time.

EDIT:

 

[Rue]

Yea, I wasn't sure since they were all spread out over the various parking lots. None of them were really in a show, I'm not sure where the line starts for an event and where it stops at cars just parked around.

In the past, I've put everything that is probably related to a car meet or show in the other thread, i.e. on the roads nearby or a couple of nice cars line-a-stern in the area. I'd like to put them in here as there's much more activity in this thread but I always err on the side of caution and put them in the other one.

 

[astrosdude91]

an STi!!!! My first, I believe, and I love the older series.. which one was this? VI? VII?

You seem to be getting your STi nomenclature mixed with your Lancer Evo nomenclature. That's a current third generation Impreza STi, and a third gen STi sedan at that, which has only been out for less than a year. You seemed to be very happy with that spot. I wouldn't mind being in your position, Jeff, where an STi is something to get excited about. I've become so jaded with the spotting here in Houston. I'll regularly pass up Ferrari F430's and Aston Martin DB9's because they are slightly out of the way.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Huh. I thought I'd been seeing more roundish Imprezas, and this one feels more like the cars from GT2. And yes, you are jaded, poor you, surrounded by supercars. I think I saw a Ferrari once, but it was dark, so maybe not. So yeah, an STi is a great spot for me. Last week's DB9 was huge. Ditto the Maserati.

 

[poolhaas]

Nice cars there Jeff.
I really like the Nismo 370Z, looks great in white.

 

[nizmo_bro]

Saw this nice Fiat 500 at work. I think it belongs to someone there, but idk who. First 500 I've seen in person, didn't even know there was a Fiat dealership nearby

Then I saw this the other day, right hand drive EG6. Pretty nice looking too

Don't see too many Stanzas around here, unless they are junkers. This one is nice

Just thought this was funny, some only lady was driving it. Not really cool, but I figured I'd post it anyways

 

[orimarc]

Saw this at the gas station. Quite an unusual sight, specially because it looks like new. Clean. Unmodified. RR layout.

 

[Dac_Xint]

Toyota Altezza

Nissan 180SX

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

BMW 130

Honda Accord

 

[GT Pro]

To some, seeing a Vauxhall Insignia is nothing special. However, the brand doesn't operate here in Australia, so seeing a silver example in the university car-park today tells me they're actually serious about considering to bring it down under.
