R33 Skyline from a couple days ago.

Nice spot 👍

We saw this guy doing his Christmas shopping at Tesco, he was driving round the car park and the noise was phenomenal. He stopped to let us cross in front of the car, the front end is sublime.

F-Type

Awesome 👍

Guess I should still be carrying my camera around with me even in this weather, now that I'm a pizza delivery driver. Missed a Ghost and a Tesla, nice 300ZX on the freeway, but got this, an honest 240SX, can't remember the last time I saw one.



Edit: perhaps this is why I was so stunned to see the 240sx today... according to my photo log... I've NEVER seen one before!!! Are they really that uncommon in the US nowadays?

What the...? Is it 2013 already? Thought they had literally only just shown off the concept. I'm so behind...

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

It's not supposed to be out until spring 2013.

 

[Moglet]

I think the coupe is out early next year, this is the convertible, surely? We see a few new Jag models before release round here though; the factory isn't far away and when I'm at work I could get there within a 15 minute drive 👍

 

[Boffin]

I 'tubed any vids of them appearing on-road and all I got was promo stuff - perhaps they sent one round before the release date to get car spotters interested and building hype first?

Been in Monaco recently, here are some notable finds.

Other discoveries include two of the new F12 Berlinetta, LP640 Versace Edition, Porsche 356 Speedster and a 599 GTO.

That's what I think of when someone says Maseratti. Not these new luxury boats.

Enzo and MC12 in the same place. Very nice!

Wonderful evening with your average Belgian weather. Not easy to beat these posts above me

C63 AMG

Maserati GranTurismo (No MC12, sorry M8h3r ) and the ass end of an R8

 

[Tyger]

That MC12 is so absurd, and twice as awesome

Reported for porn.

Hard to believe the Enzo and MC12 are the same car underneath... The Maser is just so immense.

Also, the Maserati is really good looking, whereas the Enzo is sort of meh. That's my opinion.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What's funny is with the way you said that, some people might take it that your job paid you enough to get a Lexus LFA. Nice spot!

Even if I did in fact make that kind of money, I would certainly not purchase an LFA.

I personally think they're both awful. The MC12 looks bloated, fat even, and that rear wing is laughable, whereas the Enzo is a classic case of function over form.

They both have their flaws, that's for sure, but the Maserati has a sort of wow factor that the Enzo doesn't.

 

[aadil717]

Aaaahhhhhh another LF-A!!

The more I see one of those the more I love it!

And yeah there's a few F-Types already out - I've seen quite a few in Coventry in the last few months. One was in camo and another was a deep burgundy red, very nice car, the rear is gorgeous!

 

[JrDarknes]

That LFA is too clean. It reminds me too much of the fourth generation supra to me. I dont know why.

 

[Icy J]

saw this a few weeks ago, didn't have my camera with me...

 

[Rue]

the Enzo is a classic case of function over form.

Is it only me that feels that this is where its beauty lies? I think the Enzo is one of the best looking cars ever penned, especially from the rear three-quarter view.

No-one else agree?

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I love the way the Enzo looks, but I don't think it's pretty. It does have its good angles though.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Sorry, I just can't take anybody seriously who complains about cars like the Enzo and MC12. Icy J even gave us an Aventador (which I've also yet to see), and the only LFA I've seen has been in a showroom (and the ONLY time I've made a special trip to a showroom was to shoot that car.)

I say, great spotting all, keep sharing the epicness with those of us who still can get excited over a 360 or R35 or Gallardo.

👍 Couldn't agree more! The most exotic car, if you can call it exotic, I've seen in the past month are a base C6 Corvette and Nissan GT-R.


Edit: Also, I didn't know he Aventador could have that color. Most of them I see (Internet, not irl obviously) are orange.

And also to the form over function folks, one of my favorite Latin quotes, "dulce et utile", sweet and useful... the two go hand in hand... pretty but useless is ugly, useful but awkward is also unfortunate. True beauty is having both at once.

I can't say I've ever liked the Enzo. Or any "modern" (ie, 1996 to now) Ferrari, for that matter. I can appreciate it from a technical standpoint, but I just don't care about it. Not in my top 10, or 100, or 1000 even... I blame Schumacher, Todt and Brawn for my carelessness on the matter.

I also like the Enzo.

This.
