At the shop we are curently working on some dudes Skyline its a R32. Its a bastard to work on. Way to much metric stuff. Also parts are expensive
 
I saw the most amazing sight EVER yesterday.

Ok, so i was getting driven to my baseball game in the back of their windstar, looking out the window, because i was very bored. There was a stop light, so we stopped. A drag strip was right across the street, so I looked across. 2 cars pulled up, and i looked closer. There was a Yellow VeilSide Supra racing a black Blitz R34 Skyline. i was like holy ****!!

Wow.....i am hooked on those 2 cars now i have seen them in the flesh :drool:
 
Yesterday I saw some cars that I have never seen in the uk

Toyota Treuno GT-Apex AE86
Yes you may say this is stupid to post this but Ive never seen one of these irl. I spent ages looking at it people thought I was odd looking at such a dull looking car.

1967 Corvette Stingray (or whatever its the realy old lookin one)
I almost crashed my car when I saw this corvettes are real rare in london. It was a dark blue one it looked cool!

Also a few roads down from mine there is a Green Mercury Cougar XR8 (another car I stare at allot I dont get to look at many muscle cars)
 
This week's theme reads "classy" to me:

Ferrari 456GT: in billiard ball #2 blue.
Porsche 356: creamy white, unknown year.

Both of these were in the same strip mall parking lot in Bedford, NY (an area almost as well off as South Salem) on different days. I just love that area.

BMW Isotta: red; tiny, little, pre-Mini BMW. Must have passed by it many times, but only saw it two days ago.

Shelby Durango: cobalt blue with white stripes; apparently owned by some rich old (70+) lady in the most exclusive section of Scarsdale, NY. It's not the only Shelby she's got either. She supposedly knows Carroll himself. Doesn't drive like a bat out of hades, but doesn't drive like an old lady, either.
 
Well in order to have the Shelby Durango and other Shelbies and live in Scarsdale, you kind of have to know Carroll. :D
 
I went to Hot Import Nights yesterday, they had some of the coolest cars i'd ever seen. Incredible use of lighting effects. I finally got to see my favorite car, a blue R34 skyline. Also present were tons of hondas, an incredible drag RX-7, and quite a few works of excessive rice. pics will be coming soon
 
well, I saw the resident 300ZX that cruises around my area. pretty sweet!
dark blue, nice hood vent, killer paint job. ive seen him burn some ricers around here lately, pretty funny stuff.

hmm.... saw a Ferrari 288 the other day... almost went into shock, heheh.
i saw a 308 a few weeks back too.
also, Ive been seeing a lot of NSX's lately....
only other thing ive seen today Celica GT-Four up the street from me thats getting an overhaul
 
I saw a PINK TOYOTA YARIS/VITZ last week.
THAT was definately NOT cool.

Oh, and i saw a red Mitsubishi 3000, looked awesome.
 
Well I just went out for a little run. Even though its 11 pm.

But any way I walked down to the gas station about a mile form my house. I walked up to the station. There was a bunch of guy there getting ready to go out racing. So I went over to talk to them. Some really nice cars. A couple of 300zxs and there was even a Silvia. Also I saw my first AE86. Lets see I'm trying to remember all the cars. A Supra, a rx7, and OH YA a Intergra Type R Imported from Japan. It was nice.
 
Every day I see at least 1 Boxter, they're fairly normal around my house cause I live in a nice neighborhood. I was downtown thought and saw my first Z06. Along with a large assortment of M3s and 7 series. Other than those, nothing really stood out at me, although Im sure there was much that I missed.
 
Saw a few things over the weekend, but only one was really a standout.

Porsche 911/996 Turbo: white; the color doesn't do much for it. The guy spent US$120,000 on a car and he gets in a color the nearly defeats the purpose of having a $120K car. Well, almost. Most pictures of the 959 I've seen were in white. It looked cool as hell, though, just sitting at a traffic light. :)
 
I saw 2 Hummer H2's today.:eek: They were ****ing sweet!:P And they were also on one of those car carriers.:D
 
Saw two Vipers and a nice customised NSX (but not the new one).

And I heard the Mustang Bullitt go by. ;)
 
WOW! Today I saw my first Lotus Elise 190!!! It was so sweet looking in real life!
While I'm on the topic, I passed a Lotus Esprit about a week ago (going the other way of course...).
 
Haven't seen much in a long while, but today was nice.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante: jet black, tan canvas top; stunning. Just stunning. Probably more than 15 years old, judging by the type of exhaust, but it was great nonetheless.
 
not today, but on Thursday i saw this,

Ferrari Testarossa: in typical Ferrari red, cruising out in the Hamptons. Despite the interesting traffic whizzing by, I'm hoping for fewer trips out there. :-/
 
i saw a 70s mustang in a strip mall. it was a beautiful clean and waxed red. the owner came out when i was looking at it, but he didnt want to talk at all. i tried asking a few questions, but he just game me short answers as he started up the car and rumbled away.

how selfish :P
 
oh yah, also saw a dark grey (dont know the manufacturers name for it) Honda S2000. havent really seen much of them around here, so it was cool.
 
about 2 weeks ago i saw a blue with white stripes viper..it was sweet...ummm i also saw a bunch of porche 911s....umm my "rich" friend's dad has 2 porsches..a 67 and a 94
 
I was on vactaion all last week and I saw a lot of firebirds and cameros(I think i spelled it wrong, but i cant spell to save my life), couple of custom cars, and on really awesome custom jetta that was yellow.
