This is more of what cars I bothered to take a picture of within the past few weeks than what I've seen today. So, here we go.

I thought it was a Grand National, but annoyingly no. It's just a T-Type, but I took a picture anyway. Because I just plain like these Regals anyway.

An older Ford F-Series pickup, I'm guessing late 60s.

This car is actually my neighbor's. A mid-60s Chevrolet Chevelle.

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

The first Ford Bronco Sport I've seen ever in person.
20210312_102136.jpg


Another G Body I've ran across, this 80s Oldsmobile Cutlass. I like the purple.

Parked across from the Cutlass was this Mk.3 Toyota Supra.

Oh and here's the Buick Riviera parked behind the Cutlass.

Lastly, a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner. I saw this car in the past week in front of a repair shop.

To note: I've seen more interesting cars than just these around my town, I just haven't felt bothered taking pictures of them...yet. Like a black Jaguar XKR Coupe, a Supercharged Range Rover Sport, a black Mclaren 720s, and a blue 2nd Gen Audi R8 V10 Spyder.

On my drive home tonight, a sight I never expected to see in England, 2021...

A Lincoln Blackwood! Alas, it was on a flatbed tow truck.
 
Saw this Corvette in the parking lot in the strip mall I work at last week. It was the first one I've actually seen stationary. :lol: The Porsche was a customer that came into the store today. In the past week, I also saw another C8 'Vette, Audi R8 and Lambo Huracan. Couldn't get a picture of those as I was on the highway driving either to or from work. Oh, and if you're curious, there is a jeweler next door, thus the multiple BMW's, Jag and Mercedes in the second picture. I get to look at those every day. :D

Wow, that is a rare sight. I didn't think anyone would even consider importing one of those.
 
I couldn't get a photo because a) it was dark and b) I was on my bike with my phone in my pannier, although even if it was daytime and I had my phone in my hand I probably still wouldn't because it all happened so quickly, but when I left work on Wednesday night I saw an R34 with a serious flatulence problem at a distance and I thought "cool, I haven't seen an R34 in years" - like, that's already a cool thing to see.

About a minute later we (literally) crossed paths as it turned left into Hyde Park and over the crossing I was waiting at, which is when I saw it had "Tommy Kaira" written on the side - it was a 25R! My jaw would've hit the floor if I wasn't wearing a mask. So I looked it up when I got home, there are two in England and this guy owns them both, I asked if it was him and sure enough it was. I saw the 720bhp one.

I see cool stuff all the time working in South Kensington, there are loads of specialist boutique dealers in the area (Fiskens, for example, is across the road from my museum) and in the past few years I've seen a Ford GT mk IV, a Ferrari 312T3 (Reutemann's, not Villeneuve's), F40s, a 959, a Zonda F, a very good replica of a 330P4 and more amongst a sea of more everyday Lambos, McLarens and Ferraris, there's even a CLK DTM regularly parked in the street nearby. That 25R is up there for me though, it's a unicorn for sure. Shame the guy drives it the way he does, then again I'm not sure I'd behave any better driving a 720bhp Skyline that sounds like a machine gun loaded with fireworks.
 
A pair of Lexuses that I've spotted over the past week or so.
20210415_121415.jpg

First was this RC F-Sport in a nice yellow (also peep the Kizashi and Genesis behind it, don't see either of those often).

Then I saw this lovely LC500 at an attorney office today.

It's just...such a striking shape in the metal, and the metallic red/tan interior combo on this example really suits it. Hopefully they depreciate through the floor and I can buy one for cheap in a decade ;).

Also saw this later Fiero GT. Been a while since I've seen one around.

Spotted this clean BMW 2002 across the road from where I work.

I assume it must have been a prospect buyer/ someone showing off to his mate, cos they spent a good half hour going around it then one of them gave it a couple of runs up and down the street. Sounded pretty solid!

After recent law changes regarding RHD vehicles, i started to see more and more RHD cars like this R34 2.5 GT.

a Stinkeye WRX STI in the car park.

IMG_20210424_001234.jpg


Clean E28, older BMWs are quite rare to encounter.


IMG_20210325_221323.jpg


But otherwise, i rarely leave my house so I don't really see much. If i saw anything, I'm more than likely driving so I can't really take any photos.

Recent spots from me again oddly enough.

A 1968 Chevelle SS at my local Weis Store. I saw it out of the window, but I couldn't get close because I was actually busy with something important. When I was able to leave, the car was sadly gone.
20210411_083200.jpg


At the same store on another day, someone pulled up in this Mercury Comet. Oh and a Focus ST behind it.
Mercury Comet and Focus ST.jpg


I saw this Ford Shelby GT500 appear outside the window of a Burger King while I was waiting for my order. Nice orange.
20210409_122351.jpg


A Ford F150 Raptor pulling a trailer.

Oh look, a Ford Galaxie Convertible. I'm guessing a 1969 model.

I saw another Bronco Sport at a Lowes.
20210415_174652.jpg


Alright, that was the last of the Fords for this post. I promise, hehe. I seriously didn't intend to post so many Fords, but whatever.
For the first time, I saw a Dodge Little Red Express Truck.
20210415_190059.jpg


and ending the post with an AMC Javelin at the same Lowes as the Bronco Sport. I had to go back another day, because my dad and I were getting materials for a yard project.

Most mail carriers in rural parts of the US either use right-hand drive Jeeps or tag team duties in old LeSabres. Except for LaFarge, Wisconsin, which had a Commodore parked outside the post office earlier today.

The shape initially caught my attention, and went in for a closer look to confirm that it was indeed a Holden. It has me really curious as to how one of these ended up in the Midwestern boonies as a mail car, and how long it's been in service. The seven digit tag indicates that it's received a new registration in the past few years, but the condition makes me think it's been here a while; definitely not collector export material. (Also, it's a 3.8 Executive model with an auto, for those curious.)
