Yesterday I sat in a (according to wikipedia) $495,000 (US) car. :D

Please take your guesses, later I'll post the pictures.
 
I struck gold today! First we have a twin turbo German rocket:

Apparently it's a 997 I, the 997 II has different rims. Right beside it was a second gen CLS63:

1:21-1:26: a parking lot full of nice cars(obviously for a race :dopey:)
1:26: is that a bentley speed 8?
1:54: bentley
1:37: what ferrari is that... I always forget the name of that one

Do you want to switch houses? I would love to live where you live :lol:

At 1:54, there is also an Audi R8 far in the background.

The video was taken in a remote English town called Alderley Edge. It is one of the most affluent places in the country, full of footballers and celebrities. I don't live there, I merely visit sometimes to eat and see what cars are around :)

With there being so many nice cars, I tend to ignore Aston Martin's and Audi R8's because, they are just too common.

Alderley edge isn't a remote town. Mobberly is a remote English town.

Alderley Edge is where people move when they come into money.

I'm curious as to where you do live? It can't be far from Alderley Edge. So it's definitely somewhere in Manchester.
 
I don't live in Manchester but I'm rather close to it. Alderley Edge is about 50 minutes away from where I am.

EDIT - More from Alderley. Two Ford GT's, one a Heritage Edition. Beautiful car, I love how similar it looks to the GT40 too.

50 minutes away!? Your not close!

I'm 50 minutes away, in a car.

Are you from Wigan by any chance?
 
Ok, so earlier today I tried posting all of these pictures, and once I got to the end, my iPad froze and I lost the post. :banghead: So I'm going to try it again, but every 5 or 6 pictures I copy here, I'm going to post and then edit them.

Long post ahead.


These are from yesterday, btw.


Volvo 242DL. I don't know if it's a good spot, but I've never see one so it must be somewhat rare.

Ford Maverick

I don't know what this is, but it caught my attention. Maybe it's that yellow paint?

Awesome Buick.

Dodge Dart?

El Camino with SS stickers, but I don't know if it's an actual SS or not.

Subaru WRX

Not sure what this is, but it looked cool. I'm thinking Datsun or Mazda, but I don't know my Japanese classics that well.

Josh, put the post onto your notes on your ipad, then copy and paste here.... Thats what i do for long posts 👍

Oh, and thats a nice project beetle! :D
 
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren?

We have a winner!

Yesterday I went to a plaza with my dad and my little bro', my dad went for a smoke to the balcony, I was looking for nice cars when my dad said "hey, look at that Merc parked over there" and what I saw was this:

I went like :O That's a SLR! I asked him to go closer to see it, we crossed the street bllah blah blah .. I took this picture:

I drooled and some minutes later, two men approached us, and told me "hey do you wanna get in the car? and I said yes, one opened the door blah blah blah ... and he then told me to step on the brake, then he put the key, moved something in the gearstick and pressed a button and the car turned on, damn that sound :drool:👍
It was a really nice experience. :)

Today we went to the impound lot to search for my dads car (which got stolen) and I found this:


Two mustangs.


A Porsche 911



A Challenger and also my dads car (the dark red "above" it)

Then went to the cinema to see IM3, and saw this Evo:


I've already seen it twice, but to my surprise, he got a new CF hood:


tl;dr? It was a nice weekend. :dopey:

EDIT: KingJosh, my Grandma had a Dart just like the one you spotted. :lol:
Nice post too! And that car below the Subie it's a RX-7! Awesome!
 
My great grandma had a Dart, but ithad a 318 and I think the one in the picture has a six cylinder. She got drunk one night and raced a cop and got off with a warning and then my great grandpa flipped it over and threw himself out of it. :lol:

And thanks, ameer!
 
Long post ahead.

And post of the year so far, got damn. Awesome VW junkyard/resting place/whatever the hell you call those places. I can see some very very interesting cars in there, including a few oval windows and Superbeetles. Very cool. The Karman Ghia is still saveable. And the wagon thing you want to know what it is, it's a VW Type 3 Squareback.

Also your Chrysler is a 1965 or so 300, and the smart car is the old one, regardless of the other one actually bein' called Smart.

Awesome aaawesome post 👍
