See, beetle like how I spelt it.

Well, I see "Beetle", but once again; you originally typed "Bettle".

Ah dammit, I'm blind.

Ah dammit, I'm blind.

I concur

This is an incredibly rare spot in the US and I'm really curious about how it got to AZ. It's an SJ410, never sold in the US, so I'm assuming someone imported it from Canada. It's the predecessor to the Samurai/SJ413 that we did get in the States. Very cool spot.

edit: btw, it has a whopping 45hp from a 1.0L 4-cyl.

And here I was thinking it was another Samurai.

And here I was thinking it was another Samurai.

Heh...Well, the body is the exact same, other than the grill and fender flares, so it's easily mistaken. Lots of mechanical differences, though.

Wouldn't surprise me if the owner swapped the VIN from a wrecked Sami, making it possible to register the SJ410 here. However, AZ's laws regarding vehicle importation are probably a lot more lax than here in California, so that might not even be necessary.

70s mustang

And a Triumph.

[jus1029]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is the 2800 CS, not the 3.0 CSL.

A re-donk-culous Silvia S15!

 

[TheCracker]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is the 2800 CS, not the 3.0 CSL.

Yeah, more likely to be a CS or CSi. The CSL usually came with chromed wheel arch trims a small spoiler under the front bumper and a black stripe between the window line and the chrome trim along it's flank.

 

[playnthru]

Thanks for the information all.

Fixed.

Sorry for the double post.

Unknown muscle car, was the best pic I got of it.

Capri.

 

[Omnis]

I never take pictures of 360 Modenas anymore. It might be Doug. ... Ew.

 

[cbarbosa]

Maybe not the most impressive, but still nice to see... 👍

Was trying to remember when exactly I'd started spotting, so I dug deep into the thread. Back on page 744 I posted my first photo, a rubbish 240sx with a broken Silvia bodykit. Somehow I got very excited by it back then. A couple pages later, I found this very embarrassing post... LS-A??? Hard to believe that was just 3 years ago...

Nice thread! Just got on the subscription list after posting what I thought was the Silvia above (very exciting to spot in Ohio, even if it is just a 240SX with Silvia parts, too bad I couldn't record its exhaust note to post, too...), and now I know what an LS-A and XR4Ti are, both very exciting cars! Keep 'em coming!

Edit: and oops, double post, sorry...

[Gotbeefboy564]

Don't remember what my first pic was when I saw this thread.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I think I'm going to find my first post. I need a few minutes.


loading... loading...

Post loaded!

I found it! Doh, I knew I posted that blasted Quattroporte before. I still remember my first time participating in this thread, I was confused on what qualified as a good spot here, this Maserati here even felt risky for me to post.

Well, I saw this today:

Maserati Quattroporte

 

[GranTurismo916]

Don't remember what my first pic was she I posted here.

What?

EDIT: Oh.

My first pic here was a Maserati Quattroporte.

 

[Katiegan]

This was my first spot, two years ago on page 957.

Spotted this Chrysler of some kind on the M62 today coming home from Blackpool. Anybody know the name of the model?

[ilikewaffles11]

Surprised how many decent cars I saw today at work.

Z32 300ZX, got a ride in this!

Nova I'm assuming, drag prepped

Went to pick up lunch and saw this ****ing awesome Oldsmobile Toronado. A while later saw him drive by with an absolutely disgusting Gallardo.

And finally this '72 Monte Carlo was in as well, all original.

First, a picture I forgot to post from Sunday.
Jaguar XKR with gold trim? Interesting.

C3 Corvette

Apparently there's a SECOND CL65 in my area. Unreal. I know it's different because of the rims.

(Hey, rich people need food too)
And going back to my car (before seeing the cl65) I saw this very nice Ferrari 348. In Red with tan interior, because there's no other option.

 

[NrthrnSnw030]

Benz CLS63 AMG. V8 with twin turbochargers. 550hp@5,250/5,750rpm, 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds. Beast.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Yesterday:

Ferrari 360 Spider!

But then there's this...

I absolutely freaked out when I saw this. A LOTUS ESPRIT TURBO!!

 

[jeffgoddin]

seeing an Esprit will always make me **** my pants
