The lines on them are beautiful, although i do prefer the Coupe version. Probably due to it's smooth curved roof and back panel.
 
Its a known fact that coupes ARE in fact sexier than convertibles. Think of the '63 split-window, the Aston Martin DB7, The Dodge Viper GTS, the Nissan 350Z. Now compare them to their convertible counterparts.
(In my opinion)The only exception is the Mitsubishi GTO TwinTurbo, or 3000GT, but not because it looks better, but because it is rarer and more exotic.
 
spotted this little beauty the other day when out on my mtb.

guess the two cars...the convertible is mid 60s restoration.

Several nice cars today while on the motorway, so no pics. Aston DB7 Convert. , Numerous new SLK's :drool: and a yellow VX220.
 
I'll get a Camera phone when I care enough to get a Cell Phone at all (more of a fan of not being contactable) but yesterday I picked out a 308 (believe it was the GTSi I had seen earlier at a local Ferrari show) and a bright Orange Lotus Elise (U.S. Spec, with the black cloth roof on).

There was also an FD RX-7 with a LS1 at Krogers a couple days ago, noticed the "SevenNOTStock" sticker and had to stick around to ask him about it.
 
Sleek car? Maybe from the back, but not the front.
It has a @#%!ing taurus grille!!!

I was just thinking about that earlier when I saw a Ford Taurus "Hey, a new XK...oh..nevermind...just a Taurus".

Oh, Holdenhsvetc, I didn't know E28 M5's were that rare, I've seen at least two around Memphis, and owned an E28 535i for a while, saw a 633CSi in the business lot across the street, occasionally nice cars there, like a 914, 928, 997 Cabrio, 996 GT3, Boxster S, 993, and a smattering of Mercs, mid/new 3 Series, and a yellow C5 Z06.
 
well i seen a mint E32 M5 today :drool: just..... :drool:
also in bath the now and some pretty nice cars here,one driver way has a noble M12 and a 911 GT3RS.quite a few american cars too here
 
does it count even if i see it, well, a lot since it belongs to one of my neighbors?
 
Well I something bad happened at the same time I saw something good.

Basically a Passat pretty much backed into an Aston Martin DB9 convertible in town today. If I didn't have my windows out I would've yelled at the Passat driver. I'm sorry but you just do NOT hit a DB9 and get away with it.
 
Started really getting into bikes recently because of Tourist Trophy.
Then up the seafront i saw this:

Aprilla RSV1000.
The first 'real' Aprilla ive seen, all the other ones are usually the crappy replica 125s that sound like a bee hyperventilating....
Also saw a Clio V6. No pics of that, was across the road and my phone doesnt take very good long distance pics.
 
Perfectly restored white 240SX(first gen), a hatchback. Nice gray/gun-metal color rims, it was perfect. :drool:

Yesterday, I saw a new Lotus Elise. It was yellow.

Man, I wish I had those cars. :(
 
Not much good today :(

Looks really good. I haven't seen of the Esprits from those years.
 
 
:sly: also i live near some type of cutom car shop... im not sure what it is but i sometimes see the occasional 80's bmw m race car parked out side , a yellow saleen mustang(mid 90's) and a score of old choptop roadsters. oh yea there is a red porshe that i suspect to be a ruf and it has a wing on the pre existing wing ( kind of weird but cool nonetheless) and last i saw a partyly complete volvo sedan that had all custom body work and no paint or new rims or lights or much of anything:sly: .... ill do my best to snap some piks when on my bike after tommorrow i need to study for final exams:crazy:
