Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[Christhedude]

I'm not sure those pictures are quite large enough...

tried twice to resize them for 15'' monitors but didnt work. feel free to do so if they are too big

maybe u should open ur eyes and look real carfully to spot my pics

 

[Alex.]

Isnt that the same colour scheme as the king of bahrains cars?

 

[Metar]

I don't know, it reminds me of a Spyker F1 car.


Or an Edo Competition McSuck.

 

[Christhedude]

Isnt that the same colour scheme as the king of bahrains cars?

yea kinda like the same (orange/black) but the bahraini sheikh (king) drives bently flying spur and bugatti veyron both with black window tints.


btw a question, are such titenium (mirror) tints allowed on cars in europe or US?

Not to that extent or on the front screen (at all?) in the UK.

 

[Metar]

From what I know in Germany, if the front windows aren't crystal-clear, the TUV won't approve it.

And the TUV is tough. You can't switch different-width tyres without friggin' notifying them.

Don't you need a TUV certificate if a bird craps on your car in Germany?

 

[Metar]

There's a specific clause stating you can't drive the car if a bird craps over a surface bigger than 3 square centimeters.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Today at the lights I was behind a Chevelle. My car started shaking, so I opened the window to hear it better. Too bad I had to turn, but I did hear it accelerate after the light turned green.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Now you tell me. I was in Ayr today....

theres one there too!

 

[1X83Z]

Bentley Arnage, from yesterday.

 

[Keef]

God DAMN that's a fancy trunk. Why's it got a real trunk in it though?

 

[YSSMAN]

Today was a day of "2008s"

- 2008 Ford Focus: Fugly!

- 2008 Honda Accord: I seriously thought it was an RL at first...

- 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan: Actually, its really cool!

...I'll get photos of the Ford and Honda later, I'm too tired to get them off of my phone...

 

[Tornado]

I hate the new Accord. Making it that large totally ruins its driving, I'm sure, and it goes into a category that I think Ford has lock, stock and barrel.

 

[harrytuttle]

I was saving these for a rainy day, and now that it's 80 and sunny, here we go.

Dodge Charger 1966

Most likely not a rare spec, but neat to see in such great condition anyway.

Aston Martin DB9 Volante

It's still a great car, and I'm not getting bored with seeing one, but I need a little more variety.

Land Rover Defender 90

I have actually seen a few of these, as they are actually well used here. Well, maybe further north in NH/ME, but upstate NY has quite a few.

Lamborghini Gallardo

I followed him down a highway I really didn't need to be on in the hopes that it was anything but a base-spec Gallardo. No dice. Cool car, but again: where's the variety?

BMW 635CSi

At the rate I'm seeing these over the past few months, I'm starting to think they're overvalued. Underappreciated, but overvalued. If that makes any sense....


And starting in reverse chronological order:


Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG

Not as cool as the black-on-black one I saw two months ago, but it works.

Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG

I've seen tons of AMG's in black except this one. Do people think the CLS only comes in white?

Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Cabriolet

Non-supercharged, and nowhere near as fast. Or as cool. Or as easy for my camera to capture, apparently.

Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG

This works much better for me. Small car, decent V8, and built back when Mercedes knew how to build cars. And when cameras didn't freak out at the first sign of glare.

Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG

First AMG in the US? The square exhaust looks so kooky, it looks like a cheap aftermarket kit.

 

[1X83Z]

First AMG in the US?

Yes - 1996.

I'm surprised you need variety from Gallardos. I've seen 30 and my heart still skips a beat when I see one.

 

[Joey D]

Wow and I've never seen a Gallardo outside an auto show.

 

[Christhedude]

Not to that extent or on the front screen (at all?) in the UK.

ah i see. but like from the in side out the it feels like there is no window tint at all. its a tiny bit darkend but not much so i thought it might be legal then to have it

 

[Alex.]

on the subject or Arnages, is it pronounced:

R-NIJ or AHHHH-NAAAAJHE?

 

[Famine]

More like the second one, but throttle back on the chavaccent.

 

[McLaren]

Saw that same yellow Ferrari F430 again today, and it looked amazing. We didn't go down I-30, but he still took from at a stop light on 205.

Arr - Nahj

Its been a busy day or two, but here they are:



Still incredibly ugly, and I'm surprised that one was out on a test-drive...



I swear to God it looks exactly like an RL if you're not paying attention...

 

[SlipZtrEm]

The past week has been pretty exciting:

• 40th Anniversary Murcielago at the Four Seasons in Toronto. I'm pretty sure this qualifies as the rarest car I've seen in the wild (Fisker Tramonto being rarest period).
• Gallardo. Only the second I've seen, and the driver let it loose, so it stayed in my mind.
• Z8. Uh, cruising down the highway, more than a bit odd.
• Supra. Always a rare spot up here.
• On that same note; an FD not five minutes later. Another rarity.
• The same R32 Skyline I've noticed a few times in town.
• Most bizarre, as I only recognized it through GT4; a Honda Today G.

 

[kikie]

* 2 dodge chargers (the same as the dukes of hazard)

* An American muscle car with almost the same front end as a charger but the car was bigger.

 

[Race Idiot]

I finally managed to get the photos off my phone so heres a bunch of cars i've spotted.

Can any aussie identify what Holden this is?

I actually took that at about 10pm with the night function on my phone so thats why it looks wack.

DC5 ITR

Japanese import, not very common here parked on tottenham court road.

TEH GAY?

Man I took this like a year and a bit ago, my car looks a lil different now.

Bluuury DC2 ITR

I never got a front shot because it was too blurry and i'm not very good at taking pics with my phone.

In the same airport carpark (heathrow I think) I saw this nsx

More recently I saw this M3 CSL, seeing as E46 M3's as common as hens teeth the CSL looks fantastic. Even sitting parked it looks menacing compared to the its more commonplace sibling.

Also here is the Fensport Time Attack Celica GT4 which is a 600 bhp monster with a built 3SGTE motor. Fensport are toyota performance specialists and are the official distrubutor in the uk for TRD.

 

[Gashlycrumb]

It's a VR/VS HSV Clubsport. Hard to tell without seeing more of the car though

 

[Glanza-V]

Skyline GTS-T ( i think its the fastest car weve got around here)

Nice looking MX5

And some lexus i dont know if its rare or not can someone tell me ?

 

[Joey D]

Porsche 356

Conti GT

VW Caddy

Impala SS

XLR-V

G-Wagon

 

[Alex.]

Glanza, I dont regard those lexus's as rare

we have one, and they are becoming alot more common these days.
