Nasty rims on that orange Murcielago, but I guess they somewhat work.

What's with the plates on the Maybach, SKYLFT3? Are they like...shuttle cars or something? Or are there 3 Maybachs owned by the same person/company?

 

[Aremburgkerve]

I like the look of the Alpine! Can imagine it tearing through forests, putting higher-powered rally cars to waste.
Best spot in my opinion was the Alfa Romeo though, fantastic vintage model! 👍

Shouldn't this be in either Photography or Automotive > Videos/Photos?

 

[Spec M]

Nice pics bro, I especially like the Fisker, they're pretty uncommon.
Keep up the good work 👍

They are even cooler when you see them in the wild.

I take it you were at Cars and Coffee Alex? I really really like that Ferrari 400, gorgeous car!

 

[YSSMAN]

Is it odd if I'm most-impressed by the Fisker? I don't think I've ever seen photos of one of their cars out on the street...

They were indeed owned by MGM Grand.

Possibly, but I have a thread focus on the spotting rather than the pictures themselves. I get where you're coming from totally and I'm probably wrong as usual but if a moderator sees it as too out of place I'm sure it'l get moved.

Yeah, I caught the last hour of Cars and Coffee after dragging my parents out of bed



Thanks guys, veyron will be up later with update 2/3. Update 3 will be the biggest I think.

 

[ferrari_chris]

Fisker.

 

[Aremburgkerve]

The Ferrari 400 seems to just be a carbon copy of the Mk II Jaguar E-Type - same grille, same swept-back, long bonnet, same headlights. Not that this means it isn't a gorgeous car, it does look fantastic!

You didn't see the one I posted up in the DYSAGT thread a couple months back?

Currently uploading 2nd update. Unfortunately my Sony HD Handycam records in .modd and .moff files and I cant find a way to convert them to a tubable format, so the video I had of the veyron, Apollo and ALL the Lambos will never be seen, which is veyr annoying because I think it's pretty good


Corvette ZHZ and BMW Z8 in Hollywood

Phantom and SLR on Rodeo Drive

Maser Coupe

360 + Sun

Daytona Coupe, probably replica, but had shelby badges on the sides by the doors.

Ford GT Heritage Edition

It's a GT, honest.

E190

Porsche

Another Ford GT

725 BHP Super Snake

Antieros

Gumpert Apollo

Bugatti Veryveryveryveryon

The entourage of Lambos is next, really annoyed I can't show the vids.

Yeah, thats how I feel about the Elise.
I've seen hundreds of pictures that were'nt really staggering but,
when I see them in real life its a whole different reaction. I guess pictures just dont do it justice.

*pics*

Sorry, I didn't. I was a bad boy and hadn't been in there for a long, long time... Still, an awesome and EXTREMELY RARE car!

Damn, nobody had photos of that Veyron at any other spot except the entrance. I mean, no offense Alex, but you're the fourth guy I've seen shooting the Veyron when it was coming in because all the pics. had that 2nd Gen. Viper in them.

Anyway, great photos. Did you see or hear about the Gumpert scraping the ground?

Here

I heard the Gumpert been doing some grounding out to impress the onlookers But I was taking photos of stuff like the Fisker as that was happening at the other end

Now I need Sony Vegas, which Mike happened to get a free copy of

 

[Spec M]

The Antieros, E190, and Apollo are pretty uncommon also, very sick 👍

 

[Keef]

Dare I say the Lincoln's front end looks better than the Maybach's? I dare. And maybe it's that the lincoln is longer and closer, but the size difference between the two is mighty small. I though Maybachs were whoppers?

 

[YSSMAN]

Those must be the 'pedestrian' 57 models...

All the exits i have a video off, they were loud. Now I need damn Sony Vegas.

[Joey D]

Nice update with the photos 👍!

Oh and the road, is it Mulholland Dr by chance?

 

[Alex.]

It is I reccomended it to my dad after reading it as 'one of the 100 greatest drives' in Top Gear magazine. WELL worth it.
