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

[jeffgoddin]

Anyone else find it odd that the Honda Accord Euro R was, despite the "Euro" name, never sold in Europe, but that the Honda Accord Type R was only sold in Europe?

I went to a show once with our ATR and had a Barry telling me about a mate of his who imported one from Japan and how the Japanese one has more power and options. I almost didn't have the heart to tell him that they were all made in Swindon. Almost.

I didn't know they weren't the same thing until you just educated me. I thought this was a car imported from Europe to Hong Kong!

Also, nice to see Kent, the Grand Founder of the Anime Thread, stop by here! Nice Camaro! (I got that right, I hope...)

Camaro, indeed. 1968.

I also like the previous page's abandoned Galaxie, and the S15 that Rue posted. The Civic in front of it doesn't look bad, either.

Okay, good, in that case, here's my drive-by Camaro from today, too:

Monte Carlo

Beautiful. I had an 85 Monte Carlo CL just like that one but in the Silver Medallion Delivery two tone paint scheme instead of a vinyl top. That is still my favorite of all the vehicles I have owned and is far better looking than the SS or LS models imo.

 

[Rue]

Oops, I forgot to post this bad-boy. Aston Martin Vantage...

It's a crappy pic I know but does anyone know what this car is?

It's a late model MGB.

 

[Kent]

Just a couple of days ago on the ride home from work caught this one (of 300).

Say hello to the Nismo 380.

 

[Carlos]

I saw a Polo!!!!!!!!!

With headphones..

 

[Crumpet]

What are the odds..

 

[Rue]

... the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

It was soo clean. Not a single scratch, nor a spec of dirt on the thing. Almost seemed like it was a factory car with some optional wheels.

Haven't seen too many nice cars over the past few months. I did miss a few nice cars while I was driving, but here is what I did manage to capture. Click on the pictures to make them bigger if you wish.

Nice spot on the 380!

I spotted this 1956 Nash Metropolitan the other day while going to pick up stuff for my car and get a haircut:

 

[Cano]

haha awesome posts everyone, from the blue Camaro to the Aston, to the Polo with headphones (wtF), and that last Metro is awesome in magenta!

Keep it up people!!

Sickening. 👍👍 Good find!

 

[jeffgoddin]

???

Camaro! Same style as my favorite Hotwheels, though mine was blue. Swear it was faster than all my other cars...

junker for Cano:

another ???, barely

 

[Cano]

WOW, amazing spot the first one, Goddin!!! Either a 35 or 36 Packard, we'd have to see the engine to determine what Series car it is, but judging by the cute roadster body, it might be a Packard Eight. I cal BS on the restoration, though, it's wearing radials.

the other what-is-it car is, I think, a 1936 Ford, but for obvious reasons, I cannot be sure.

 

[Rue]

That Nash is super-cool! Nice sharp pics Jeff, looks like an interesting place to live.

Sat outside the bar, another CTR

Spotted this fantastic beauty on my way to the shops on my day off...for sale for £1500 too! So tempting, need a loan

 

[gt4rulez]

2011 Nissan R35 GT-R 👍

 

[poolhaas]

Nice spot gt4rulez 👍, haven't seen one of those yet in Belgium or the Netherlands.

 

[Crumpet]

That MG is in brilliant shape for the price!

 

[Nurburgthing.]

Needed some fuel about an hour or so ago so I popped into a Shell station in Herne Hill (London) and what did I see (and then shortly after, hear)?



THIS!

Everything on this thing is custom made. Not only is it twin s/charged, its also twin (tiny) t/charged as well.

The driver and his mate were really friendly. They kindly offered to pull out the bonnet pins and show us the madness.

When he started it, I couldn't even hear my own shrieks of joy.

He probably used the same amount of petrol pulling away and giving it a little on the loud pedal as i put in my car (£7).

Never forgetting that.

Forgot to mention, its going to be at the Chelsea cruise if you fancy a peep yourself.

Very freaking mean, I like the treatment of the grille. Nobody seems to do anything with those cars any more.
