Alright, posting after Rue is always humbling, but I think I had a pretty good day. And lots of pretty sounds!

street rod (is that what you call these things?)


IQ, first I've seen on the streets


Silver Spur?


3.2 Targa


new Cayman


930 turbo


also a turbo? just says Carrera...


cute 356 Speedster with a nice couple


SL63


Quattroporte Sport GT S. This was one of the things with a really nice sound tonight. I saw him go by the other direction, turned around, caught up (somehow) and once I was within about 100 ft I heard this sound when he was accelerating away from corners, etc., and as soon as I heard it, my hand instinctively went to the radio to shut it up, so I could hear better. Wow! This thing has an outstanding exhaust!


liked this guy and his pickup, even if it does look like a messy job to me. 1941 Ford? Not sure...


saw this peeking out, wondered if it was possibly anything special... like a Mach or Cobra or something... or just a paint job.


Boss 302


360 Modena




and I got even luckier by spotting a 2nd modena, a silver one... but unlucky with the shot. the two bright spots on the bottom right? those are the rounded bits on the back perfectly reflecting the sun, plus some rotten camera effects.


Another rotten shot but this is a ZL1


about here got the 2nd great sound of the day. was scanning ahead at a 4 way 4 lane intersection, stopped about 3 cars back on the inside, and must have blocked it out, but missed seeing a Corvette turning in front of me, and just as it got along side of my open window it gave it the gas, and wow! made a sound straight out of Star Wars, weird but thrilling. And quite a surprise since the sound was the first I'd noticed of the Corvette. Must've been Z06 or RZ1.

Camaro Hurst equipped?




another crappy shot... but better than missing entirely I guess. Did miss an X5 M just before this. M6 convertible, very electric blue color I hadn't seen before, made be wonder F13?


There's an F10


CGT


DB9


1963 AMC Rambler 550?


here's one R for the 3 I spotted... odd.


help please? got lazy at this point in the editing and didn't feel like doing the research...


one last story, and third sound of the night. was dark, going home, but still in a nice area, stopped at a light a couple cars back on the inside, see the 1st car on the inside stopped on the other side of the light looks rather squat. Can't really make it out. Should I take a pic just in case? Nah, would be a horrible photo and really probably isn't anything. Except it was. As soon as the light turned green I could tell. GT-R R35. But maybe special. Red with lots of black trim. Haven't seen that color combo on a stock GT-R before. And, yes, it sounded special as it raced past my window. Turned around, but never found him.
 
The last one is a Chevrolet 1949-53 I think.👍

While taking a picture of the Black Camaro, you missed the Red CTS-V Caddy behind it.:lol: Maybe it was not a (V):nervous:??

Nice pictures thought! You see many nice cars on your journeys, thanks for sharing.:)👍
 
Spotted these two on the way home from Argos today.

Not sure on this one, an old Saab maybe?

And a classic Rolls Royce.

Normally I see a fair amount of nice cars but can't get pictures of them because they're always heading the other way, but this week there just weren't any nice cars at all. Anyways, two somewhat interesting spots:

Spotted this modified Beetle in the traffic jam to leave school (yeah, let's make two measly lanes of cars merge into one lane at a stop sign, genius). Right as I got my phone out that stupid Pontiac decided it wanted to completely block the Beetle, and I had to take a picture quick before that GMC would block it. Looked like a pretty ratty, unrestored example.

I guess my neighbor was done with his red, lifted Cummins Dodge Ram and needed a slight change in the form of a white Raptor. He does little offroading (but not none at all) and wears a suit to his bank job. He's about fifty, too. Midlife crisis methinks. :dopey:

So I was pretty sad, spotted 2 Panamera Turbo , 1 Panamera and a Xk120 ... but then this showed and god dammit, it made my day much better!!!

My first Stang!

 
E350 AMG? Is that not just an E350 with an aftermarket AMG badge glued on?
 
Maybe. :p People just buy AMG badges on the 'net and stick them in the back of their Merc.
 
Yep, you would think they'd at least put E63 or something badges on there instead of leaving it as an E350. :lol:

Yeah, I've seen a few standard fare Benzes with AMG badges tacked on, namely a CLK550 convertible and a CL600.
 
This week driving around I've seen a Lotus Europa (first time for me) a Panamera turbo thingy, a 458 racing a Maranello, a Jenson Interceptor being towed to a new home, an absolutely mint Triumph TR6 at the fuel station about 3 hours ago, and a GT40 or a replica, tearing off round the corner.
These are all while I'm out and about at work (I'm a chauffeur) and thus I can't take pix as I can't touch my phone.
Sorry about that.

:irked:👍
 


A scene from Alderley Edge today, watch in 1080p.

Epic sound at the end, shame about the ticket, but the owner breached the very respected and very important 5 minute rule :lol:

Other cars from today which will receive a video over the coming days:

Ferrari F430 Spider x2
Ferrari 458 Italia x3
Ferrari 458 Spider x1
Ferrari 599 x1
Ferrari California x1
Lamborghini Gallardo x1
+ some others.

Ferrari seems to be preferred brand when it comes to Supercars it seems :D

Earlier that day I was thinking "I wonder if I'll ever see an older Dart while driving my Dart."

And then I spotted one while I was in the passenger seat of my old Blazer for the first time in a month.

Still neat, though.
