Sneaky shot at work, new Evora and an R32 GTR :D

I could be wrong, but it looks like an R33 to me.
 
Did it say how much they wanted for it?

I didn't look. It was right in front of my school, so Monday, assuming its still there and I don't forget, I'll look.


Edit: And here's another car for sale, picture courtesy of my grandma: Corvair Convertible

So /that's/ what that is.

I saw one headed the other way last week and couldn't get a photo. Been wondering what it was since then.


And I got some pictures of a 458 Italia at 2AM on the way home last night and forgot to move them to the SD card before changing to my phone after it got repaired...I mean, all you could see in the picture was tail lights, but still. Had Maryland plates and everything. So knowing one exists somewhere in this state makes me happy, at least.

One of these weird trucks and a VW bus in very nice condition.

A trucker going across Europe delivering cargo and car-spotting. I like the sound of that job! :sly:

Nice, either a 308 or 328 (little hard to tell if the bumper is black or colour-coded, can you remember?)

Thank you for the info 👍 , The job has its up and downs ... But i love it , and it provides a good life for my family and I so .... Keep on Trucking lol ;)


The dark blue first spot in England looks like a mid 70's Triumph GT6 MkIII. 👍

It was a very nice car , I tried to catch up with it but I was really heavy loaded and couldn't catch up with it for a better photo ...


Managed to decode the plate, UK plates can be identified online.
This is an MG YA.

Oh that is very intresting information , could you provide me a link in PM with the website where one can find this info seeing my boss felt that the job payed well so more UK work might be coming towards me in the future

great find! Love those things :drool:....

To bad ill probably never see one, as they were never sold in the us.... Maybe one day i can vacation in britain and/or europe

Awesome job, btw!

I had a lot more spottings , sadly i missed a lot of them while beeing on the phone or spotting them to late ... But i am sure that one day you will get you're spot ...
Little tip if you see cars like that parked with the driver just ask them if you can have a look inside , most of them love there cars and love talking about them ...
 
Oh, and spotted this today:

f-250 by MiuraSV777, on Flickr

There was also a really cool, and brand new, honda civic si with plasti-dipped rims...

And a '90s civic hatchback ricer with an over-excessively loud exhaust :yuck:

Especially the terminator modification :drool: (a raptor with the terminator mod would be awesome, btw 💡).... All until you see the fuel economy :lol:
 
@Miura, they certainly did sell Elises in the US... or if they didn't at first they have been for a while, there's tons of them in the US. At a British cars meetup/show, I must've seen at least 20 of them at once here in Cleveland, OH, so I'm sure they're in MI, too.

But that's the best part of spotting, the years of anticipation and cursing and doubting you'll ever see one, and then one day, there it is! Combination heart attack, stroke, and pants crapping makes you miss the photo so you'll never be able to prove it, but you'll see it eventually!

My list currently includes 458, 612, Enzo, Aventador, Veyron, LFA, F40/50, and a few others, all stuff that's around, that you'd see in Beverly Hills or Woodward (i.e, not counting the supercars that can't be imported to the US unfortunately...) Also stuff like a Laguna Seca Boss 302, Callaway Corvette, etc., the uncommon awesome packages on a few otherwise rather everyday base cars.

I remember I was spotting for over a year before I found my first F430...

Well, they never sold pre-2000/2001 elises
 
Definitely imports as (according to Wiki) 2005 was the first year the US received the car even though even then, it did not technically meet complete US standards.

I have read there are also 10-12 340Rs in the US as well that are considered Series 1 Elises. Edit* Apparently though, these can only be registered as track cars.
 
Meanwhile, in the McDonalds drive through, three cars apart....
