That just happen to look identical!


And tourist information was far from helpful. The lady was determined to put on her strongest possible accent for us.

Some spots over the last couple of weeks.


MINI Clubman - the third I've seen, the first I've photographed. Damn, it's ugly.



Renault Vel Satis - about a thousand of these were RHD, sold in the UK between 2001 and 2005. Quite a rare, and unjustifiably unloved, car.





Evo 8 week... The bottom, good, photo taken in the same location as below...


Isn't it amazing what you see in the McDonald's car park early on a Saturday morning?










That's a 1972 911T...

The Vel Satis is such an awkward looking car it's no wonder it never sold.

I've seen one of those. Like the Espace, I find them surprisingly attractive.

Nah. Best I get to see at my McDonalds carpark is a '65 Mustang and an old Alpina 3-series Turbocharged.

I really like it too, but that's probably because it's a Renault.


They could have quite easily made it bland in an attempt to sell more.

*Ahem*


Speaking of, I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

The most important thing is being in a location where you've got a chance to see exotics on a regular basis. Beyond that, it's about so much more than luck - it takes a lot of dedication just hoping for the eventual payoff. But it's worth it...

*snip*

That's the last six months only, for the record - and hours upon hours of searching.
That explains it, i actually saw that Skyline in Adelaide, the best day of my life. The Esprit at the Gold Coast was also nice. The best i've seen down here is a 300ZX, which we see reguarly because someone around town owns it.

About that collection... all i can say is

Damn you Famine, you've seen a Clubman. I've been looking all over trying to find one because I know there are couple state side already since people are popping up on North American Motoring with them. The one you saw looks like it is in Sparkling Silver too!

I've seen it twice in similar locations. I think it's a weird beigey-gold colour.

EIGHT of which (yes, EIGHT) were in 2003.

Who wouldn't want to buy an MPV Coupe? Seriously, UK, sort your car-buying preferences out.
