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

[jeffgoddin]

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.

What happened in 1996? I've only seen a few Ferrari's from before then, and it does seem there was a radical change in design philosophy, but that can be said of all mfrs, due to tech advances, right?

Magnum PI Ferrari?

Repost, my prior to 1996 Ferraris:


hmm.. 328


Testarossa


308


250 GT Berlinetta Lusso


330 GTC


And that's it.

The best thing about post 1996 Ferraris? I see a lot more of them.

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

Orange is ridiculously common here...

^ What!? FTO sa Pilipinas!? LHD na rin ba yun!?

^ What!? FTO in the Philippines!? Is that left hand drive too!?

 

[jus1029]

Tama! That's right! (I had the same reaction )

If I remember correctly, yes. There are so many LHD converting chopshops here, more in Subic. We nomally do it on Japanese-spec vehicles like the Nissan Cube, Toyota bB, etc.

250 GT Berlinetta Lusso

OOOOOFT

👍 👍 👍 👍

Rue I can appreciate the Enzo. Not the prettiest, but I can see where the designers came from. But then I also appreciate the Panamera so I am not sure you want me on your side haha.

The 250 GTB Lusso....THAT is one of the finest looking cars to wear the Ferrari badge. In a dull metallic bronze would make it look ace I reckon (think there was one at one the the concourse d'elegance and ville d'est?).

Ever since the F355, they've all been "meh".
Although the 458 does have a pretty face -
horrible ass though IMO.

 

[mp10]

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!

I think i saw one in Camo when in tile hill, near the dealership.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

jus1029, in that first picture, there's also a Bentley of some sort. Continental Flying Spur? And on the pic of the Infiniti G35 coupe, it looks like there's a Rolls-Royce Ghost in front of it.

After seeing what you guys post here from HK, I wanna go there! The furthest out of the USA I've been was Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. It was pretty neat seeing cars that don't sell here. Like Chinese copies of Citroens in Jamaica. And Puegeots, Renaults, Lancias, Citroens, Merc A classes, etc. There was even a beat up red Hilux that looked just like the one on Top Gear. Anyways, while everyone in my group was enjoying the nice weather and the beaches, I was just staring at all the cars!

I like the Panamera too.

Something from my trip to Monaco I'm sure you'll enjoy. Though its a short video, let me know how the video and sound quality appear to you. I ask because my camcorder was over £850, so its worth getting the settings right.

This thing sounds bloody amazing, if anybody here knows anyone with an MC12 ask them to start it up for you

 

[jeffgoddin]

No sound for me...

Edit: hmm... now it works for me, too

 

[mp10]

Sounded pretty nice to me 👍

Here's a few i forgot to upload,

Audi S8, not seen one for a while now.

Fiat Uno Turbo, speaking to the owner apparently only 20 still in the UK.

And need some help Identifying this one please, Was spotted at a wedding and the owner moved the car hence why to different shots, was wondering around the car park looking for it again

[MarinaDiamandis]

Looks like a Pontiac Firebird rear-ended a Charger and then got rear-ended by a 1980s Vantage.

 

[RocZX]

It's a Chrysler Valiant Charger

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Did you get pics of that Rolls?

 

[Cano]

It's a Chrysler Valiant Charger

It is indeed, an australian Mopar with a triple-carburetor Slant Six engine. Unfortunately, this one has had it's front end badly recreated, here is what the original looks like:

 

[mp10]

Thanks 👍 sorry no pics if the rolls

 

[Cano]

Even with the ruined front-end it's still an extraordinary spot in the UK, these were only sold in Australia :0

It also wears 17-inch Cragar SS's.

 

[Antonisbob]

I'd love to bring one to Canada and take it to car shows, just to see peoples reactions.

 

[Minty]

Spotted her on the way home from NY.

I mean, just look at that PT Cruiser. How could I not take a picture of it.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Yeah, man! Same engine as the copperhead! But seriously, is that a Viper? [Enlarge] No, MB something?

 

[HumanDestroyah]

Viper: check; PT Cruiser: check; Questionable (yet awesome) modification: check

I find the 458 to be horrible looking all around, and honestly cannot even comprehend how a lot of people think it's the best looking Ferrari in the past 30 years... McLaren's MP4-12C looks so much better, and yet so many seem to dislike it, which baffles me.

The 355 was great, but then again, Ferrari didn't have any other choice. It had to be a looker, and it had to be the greatest car they'd ever come up with, considering the outgoing 348 was so bad. Drove one of these a few years ago, and it's genuinely not a nice place to be.

But anyway, enough ranting about overpriced Fiats for a while.

 

[Cano]

overpriced Fiats

haha, I love you.

Love a Fiat Coupe, ever since the GT2 demo. 👍

 

[jus1029]

Did you make the BMW shot look like it's moving?
Nice find for the Fiat Coupe!

Accidentally. I was the one moving at the time. Glad the BMW wasn't moving or me and my girlfriend would be in a hospital room for the holidays.
