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

[McLaren]

Going around to various dealers, I was passed by a new GT-R. Didn't even see it til' it passed. Much better looking in motion. And, while at LoD, I did see a XJ220 in the service bay. Was impossible to miss and gorgeous.

My friend was driving home the other day, (hes in town from Alaska, and surprisingy there are a ton of exotics in anchorage) but he called me up like 120 minutes after we parted ways, he was passed by a Bugatti Veron. he got a ****ty iphone picture and when i get it ill post it. but damn. thats a nice car! off and on here in ANN Abor i see the usual muscle cars, we have a few lambos a few Lotus's (and a Lotus dealer) ive seen a bentley or 2. Ford GT. nothing to exciting here. enjoy my tale. ill post pic soon

There are at least three Veyrons in Michigan, if you want to see another one there is one at Bugatti of Troy. Ann Arbor will be hit or miss since it's a college town though.

I saw a Fiat 500 last night, a new one at that too. It was dark, the car was going the opposite direction, and I was driving. I know it's in the area though so I'm going to attempt to find it.

God that Charger looks putrid. Thanks for not sharing...

Cue Mike Gundy!



The part where he says he wants to puke is during the last 20 seconds or so. This happened just over a year ago and I still find it just as funny now, as I did then.

This was an NSX AUTOMATIC!!!!!!!!! Incredibly rare and rather more pointless

What a tool! 👎

356.

 

[DustDriver]

Jaguar XK Coupe and Audi TT
Not really uncommon, but I haven't seen many XK's with the jaguar on the bonnet.
Shot on the way back from a car meet. Those pictures will be sorted and uploaded somewhere next week.

Very, very cool. Does LoD perform services on XJ220s? Do Jaguar dealers? I think the biggest impediment to buying one would be servicing it - I can see most Jaguar dealers running far away from that one.

Woot! A new turbocharged Cobalt SS! That's faster than that Nova!

 

[land sea air]

356.

wow, if thats not a kit car it looks like it might be a pre-A model

 

[CyborgGT]

What a tool! 👎

Ever stop to think he got the auto NSX because it was rare?

 

[buickgnx88]

But is it really the GOOD type of rare?

 

[CyborgGT]

I guess that depends on your point of view. The car still must be a great performer, so I'd say so. But then again, I have nothing against automatic transmissions like most of you guys do.

 

[Rue]

Singapore in the last couple of days...

 

[Serge.D]

How many Lamborghini's are there in that first picture?

 

[buickgnx88]

I'd say about a dozen.

 

[Muzaffar]

Damn Rue, you got better car spots than me in Singapore.
So where is that exactly? Raffles Place?

 

[Thiele]

I saw a couple of intresting cars last night, sorry about the quality, it was almost dark and i only had my mobile phone:

I'm not sure what this was, it was like a miniute, it was a Subaru, next to it was a VZ Crewman:


A WRX, pretty uncommon around these areas. (really, all i ever see is Commodores, Falcons and a few other cars that get from A to B)

LoD seems to be able to service anything exotic. I don't know what was being done (could be anything being a XJ220). They had 2 S7 TTs as well. The Saleen looks weird without any wheels & the front fenders & bumper removed in the air.

Internet's down on my main computer, but I'll try to get the XJ220 shot up.

Subaru BRAT

Subaru Brumby in Australia (where Thiele is)

 

[Serge.D]

Impreza WRX STI.




Integra Type R.

 

[Thiele]

Impreza WRX STI.




Integra Type R.

The WRX is the same as the one i posted, there was about 50 people there but i didn't ask whose it was.

 

[Christhedude]

nice pics all, but one question thiele, how can you snap a pic of the same WRX when you are in South Australia and Serge is in Belgium? or did you mean the same car, not the same "Exact" car?

Same model, it might be a bit hard to tell but the one i saw was black.

 

[ND4SPD]

Same model, it might be a bit hard to tell but the one i saw was black.

Yours appears to be a standard WRX though. Serge's spot seems like an STi.

 

[Perfect Balance]

EDIT: Too late to still be funny.

 

[benzoboy]

That looks a lot like a replica, or is it just me?

 

[1X83Z]

Just you! Looks real!

 

[Beerz]

Are there several versions of the front bumper?
I noticed this:

Different markets?

Side mirrors look slightly different too.

Also the wheel wells (I think that's how they're called in English) look very light in colour, I only remember seeing them black, usually they're not visible like that.
Someone correct me if I'm talking nonsense here.

 

[exigeracer]

360s look somewhat goofy at certain angles that manufacturers and many photographers intentionally avoid shooting. Despite being a very attractive car, it isn't the most photogenic car out there.

 

[CyborgGT]

Definitely. For instance, I think the the 360 and 550/575 look amazing, but viewing them from directly above... yeesh.

Excellent Gallardo collection, Rue 👍

Not really uncommon, but I haven't seen many XK's with the jaguar on the bonnet.

I'd be extremely surprised if you've seen any besides that one. I believe the 3D cats ("Leapers") are reserved for the luxury cars, while performance cars only have the flat badges ("Growlers"). The luxury models are all over the place with badging, with one or both, but an XK with a Leaper is seriously odd.
