Not sure if this fits here, but it's not really an event or dealership.

Parked outside a local supermarket and the dealer nearby had half the car liveried in the manner of the current BTCC Civic wagon.

Hey, @Cano, my Identification skills are distorted by the painkillers I just took, but I saw this on the way, and remembered you're good with old cars, so...

Damn. I'm good but not thaaaaat good :lol: the problem is that the rears of all late-30s cars look absolutely the same. If you had the grille, I could tell you right away what it was. And sadly, I don't have the time now to look for it. But if you want to try, that thing cant be earlier than 1937 and later than 1939, and deffo american. Google Images is your friend 👍
 
Holy w215 CL65 give me some potatoes and call me Tooters I'm in love

I went up to my college to see an advisor (although they weren't seeing anyone today, have to go back tomorrow) and I ended up parking next to a Trailblazer SS without realizing it. I saw the barred headlights/grille pulling out and I got a Lil happier

And a Z06 driven by a 50 - something going 8 under the limit

Umm, I think it's a Chrysler. I never saw the grill, but the body shape and the lines look really similar.

Hell yes at all the Ferraris! Especially that f12! If only she were red... :)
 
You can see the Gumball 3000 sticker on it so that's actually a Brabus. I very rare find, especially considering that's the exact one that raced in the Gumball this year.

I really couldn't make out any of the details as it went past. What with me having had a number of drinks beforehand. :lol:

It's one of two German-registered B63S-700's in the same colour that took part if I recall. The other had the full Gumball 3000 livery.
 
Nova "Rally Five"
I've seen him a Couple times but haven't been able to get a pic. Got him this time... but slightly blurry.

Chevy SS (might be the one I posted a couple months ago? I know they are both white)
20140716_164834-1.jpg

And an M6 convertible that has been teasing me for TEN MONTHS. Can't count on two hands how many times I've heard him but have only seen it a few times, all of which were very far away. Needless to say, yes, it has a badass exhaust system.

buick gran sport 455 convertible 1970 by spotterjeff, on Flickr

just a quick drive again this evening as it got nice late... and should've expressed more enthusiasm yesterday, Europa and freaking Espada!!! And Split window in my neighborhood! Was already out of my car at the corner convenience store, almost home, when it went by, had to get back in the car quick and was lucky chasing it down for the shot.
 
I forgot my camera..... again. I saw a Hurracan today but my reaction/timing was off with my phone so I'd ratger not post my car's pillar and the back of the Lambo.

Also saw a '62 C2 Split Window in a deep purple and some nice American Torque Thrusts and covered side exhausts. Tge best thing I saw today but I didn't have anything on me to capture the moment.
I'm limited to ONE post for today :(

@jeffgoddin That Supra would make a lovely companion for your Z31. :D

Nice find, looks mint! Just out of curiosity did it have the digital tach/speedo and all of that or was it analog?
 
Analog, and taking care of one old car is all I can afford at the moment! :lol: And if you're interested in finding out, PM me and I'll get you his number, THRT Drift.
 
^Is that a One-77? London has all the cool stuff :(

It's a Vanquish, and London?!? :p

I'm in Sutton Coldfield just outside Birmingham, 125 miles from London :D
 
Actually, that Mustang looks sort of like a Boss 429 clone or something. I mean, it has the basic grabber blue paint that you see on Boss 429s and has a Boss 429 hood scoop.
