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

[Crumpet]

Are you sure were looking at the same car? all I see is another drab 80's/90's square

Squares are awesome, no matter what year!

 

[C-ZETA]

Squares are awesome, no matter what year!

Agreed!

quattro, Lancer EX, Skyline R30, Skyline R31, Supra MA70 and JZA80, Silvia S13, Celica ST165 if that qualifies, MR2, maybe RX-7 FC, definitely Delta Integrale, 205 Turbo 16, Silvia 240RS, AE86 possibly, 5 Turbo...etc.

By square I'm just talking about general non-curvy looks.

Stop posting the names of awesome cars, it makes me wish we still had them in that style!

IMO 80's and 90's were the low point in automotive design, half the cars looked the same, no curves 100 bhp average .
30's and 50's were the best IMO
Im not flaming but im not a fan of any of those cars

 

[Cano]

that's VERY rare indeed. WTF with you Goddin.

Well, talking is the guy who can recognize 1930s cars by their grilles, so I'll shut up.

Also, the Audi is an A1 S-Line, rue. With aftermarket wheels, but S-Line.

hee hee! I'm just a research nerd, love a challenge. Figured it had to have a small engine to get that kind of acclaim, just looked around, found it quick, word for word off Wikipedia.

 

[Rue]

She looks to be in good condition too and it was still there this morning, so it could be a permanent fixture. If so, that's another interesting car to add to the collection in my village.

Jeff, did you find out the actual production figures? I had no luck other than the 60 I posted, but I'm convinced that's not accurate.

Today's Spottings​

3rd Gen. Camaro RS:

3rd Gen. Mustang Convertible:

(Nice color scheme. The faux vent and the painted stock wheels are a tad rice, but the car looks nice altogether.)


Mercedes 300E:

(This looks like a good car to have. It's classy, reliable, comfortable and not too expensive.)


Old car, maybe Cano can help me with this one.

From behind:

1st Gen Corolla Tercel:

Datsun 210 (B310):

Mercedes 190:

Last, but not least:

Yet another oldie, hopefully GTP can help me identify it.

Guy in the door is like "Hey bro".

From behind:

I'd say that is a 1929 Ford Phaeton, but I am absolutely unsure. It has features that tell me it's not a Ford.

However, that isn't the relevant thing about this car. See the "Dukes" plate?
I CANT BELIEVE YOU SAW A DUKES CAR!!! They are a very famous car club in your city and in the entire frontier, they have been around for DECADES! I've read about them and their exploits in several hot rod magazines. Damn, I never thought I'd see one of their cars surface here. AWESOME.

you made my night.

Last, but not least:

Yet another oldie, hopefully GTP can help me identify it.

It's a 1947 or 48 Pontiac aerosedan... but I don't know what Pontiac's aerosedans were called back in the day.

You mean poolhaas and JaiAE86? And GumI8all. And Cano. And Anna+Reece. Just to name a few I gathered from ONE page...

Haha, wrong. I have NEVER EVER in the 4 years I've been posting in this thread mentioned that I saw something of which I don't have a picture, unless it responds to another situation on the thread, like when I said I saw a street race but wasnt able to take out the camera.

Thanks for the IDs
BTW, the Dukes base in in my neighborhood (or whatever translation "colonia" has), the pic with the Pontiac is taken from outside their base.
They make a small autoshow every year for my school, I'll try to take pictures when the next is taking place.

Edit: After further research based on your hint, I've determined that the Pontiac should be a Torpedo.

I think I want to cry.

Really?

Got damn PLEASE when they put on a show, I'd really, REALLY REALLY appreciate the pictures.

I've always wanted to check out Tj's old car scene. A friend of mine went there for some business stuff and came back with almost 100 pictures of abandoned and in use classic cars that were amazing, right down to a 1958 Corvette abandoned inside a house. It was unreal.

Be my undercover Tj agent!!!

 

[Racedude]

^You can count on me.

 

[Cano]

awesome. In fact, I like that you take pictures of cars that may seem common everywhere else but that were never sold in Mexico, like that Datsun in the previous pages, or the Tercel. Keep on that line, I really enjoy that kind of mundane cars. And whenever you see something abandoned, you are OBLIGUED.

 

[MitchZ06]

He mentioned it as an example, quit raging and just take the moderators advice 👍

Loving the pics guys, sadly I have nothing to contribute other than:

Astros that is damn lucky! I'd love to have seen a Carrera GT

This car was featured in the hardcover book "worlds greatest musclecars" as well as several magazines , all before it was in my possession tho.

I have many more pics of these and a few others

 

[exigeracer]

What is that mid-engined photo Caz?

Here's a couple from yesterday:

Cayman R in Putrid Green:

The much-ignored 914:

I also got photobombed on this Clownshoe sighting:

Here's the Beetle

[Guml8all]

The car's meh, It's the license plate that really caught my eye!

And a Ferrari F430. Still from video capture, so quality might suffer.

 

[Caz]

The mid engine is in a boat. Its a 1959 century coronado. The motor is a 1970 426 HEMI.

 

[Anna+Reece]

Meh? This car is awesome! Great spot!

77777?

(Not my pic)

 

[Guml8all]

You don't suppose they're.. related do you? Nahh..

 

[Crumpet]

I doubt someone from the Al Thani Royal Family, who also own a Koenigsegg Agera R, would even think to be riding along in what appears to be an old MG

Actually, the one you found looks exactly like the one my Dad used to own.

 

[Guml8all]

Today wasn't the best day for car-spotting, albeit being the only day I intentionally went spotting cars . The reason for that is that I went to the Aston dealership, of which pictures you will see on the "Event and Showroom Edition" thread.

996 Carrera:

996 Carrera 4:

996 Carrera 4S:

Boxster S:

Cayenne S:

Cayenne Turbo:

TT with S-Line Package:

Head over to this sister thread for the Astons !

Dude, pictures or it never happened. Also, no double posting.

Thanks! I used to see it fairly often around town, but it's been absent from my spottings for a number of months. It's good to see it back on the streets!

Here's a video of it from a previous encounter:



The car has a fantastic sound!!

 

[TB]

Dude, pictures or it never happened.

This, and sorted.

It has been asked repeatedly but clearly it's not sinking in.

IF YOU DIDN'T CAPTURE IT WITH SOME FORM OF SHARABLE MEDIA, DON'T BOTHER POSTING THAT YOU SIMPLY SAW IT.
​

Let's see if size 3, bold, uppercase, centered, red letters helps get the point across. If you don't post a picture, we'll assume that you are lying and we have ways of dealing with posters of false information...

 

[Guml8all]

I saw 2 One-77s .

No seriously, I really did. I'm just not allowed to post the pics on this thread.

Something interesting?

Gallardo LP560-4.

GTR.

GranTurismo.

Mmmm... Where in Italy are you? Just wondering because I was in Sorrento a couple of weeks back, and those pics remind me of it...
