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

[Blackbird.]

That 599 is hawt!

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

bloody ricers....(not really it was a real something or other RTS)

 

[RouWa]

As you might guess the owner is a SEGA fan. With a little luck I'll see him and his car at the anual forum's meeting in May 2008.

 

[Venari]

KITT replicas are strangely cool.

The thing is, with the application of off the shelf parts, I think you can actually make the old 'bird physically do 200mph. Pursuit mode!

 

[Turbo Lag]

Is it just me or is that front bumper bit huge? Looks awesome for some reason though.

 

[Vonie]

There's a KITT replica here in town, too. They're kinda cool looking and that generation of Firebird is strangely attractive.

Aston Martin Virage - First I have ever seen in the flesh (1050 produced in total. This is 1 of 240 Volantes)

Awesome. That is little brother of my favorite Aston ever.
+1 Invisirep.

F430 Spider

612 Scaglietti

New CL65

G Spyder

Z8

'Ketchup and mustard' '96 Viper RT/10 - only 166 manufactured

SIGHTING OF THE DAY

Hell yes my bitches.

 

[exigeracer]

How is it that the 612 looks like it was produced in 2000 and the Z8 still looks fresh and damn sexy?

So true...

The 612 looks more bulbous the more I see. Horrible, horrible design, and the wheels on that black one do not help.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

im sure i could sneak this one in...

 

[Tornado]

I'm starting to get a similar reaction from the Maserati, as well.

From Wednesday:

Yes I know it's at a dealer but this is a Lotus Exige 265E, apparently it runs on bio-fuel.

I was really curious about this, so after a little poking around, I got a little more info about it. I knew the 265E existed as a project car over in the UK, but I had only seen one picture of a white one before yours. Group Lotus has an office in Ann Arbor, and it turns out that Auto Europe helped work on some aspects of the 265E project. They now have that one test car on their floor for show, as it is not for sale, and they some times take it to locally-sponsored Lotus meets.

Tor: which Maser, the Gran Turismo or the Coupe?

Definately a beauty.

+50 "air rep", seeing those over in Europe is just flat-out badass. Glad to see some people have some taste.

 

[Tornado]

The Gran Turismo.

 

[exigeracer]

I'm going to strongly disagree with your opinion. I find that car to be absolutely spot on. An almost-perfect design which is something you don't get those so often these days.

 

[Tornado]

It looks like a shovel. Especially in dark colors.

Really? Reminds me of a catfish from the front.

Nah, that's the 599/612 that looks like a retarded cross-eye'd fish.

 

[McLaren]

I don't know what the 599/612 really look like to me, but I do like them. 1 of the few.

Cool thanks for the additional info, I have to be down in Birmingham later in the week and if it's still there I will stop and take some more photos.

Strong disagree. Seen two in action now. Truly among the worst designs on the road.

 

[Tornado]

Truly among the worst designs on the road.

I wouldn't go that far, but I think it is certainly a step back from the smooth (if generic) 4200GT.

 

[exigeracer]

I am seeing a GT on Monday, so I'll reserve judgment til then.

 

[Joey D]

Volvo V70R AWD, only the second one I've seen. Coming up to the light I only have jokingly said to my buddy "I bet that's an R" and sure enough it was!

 

[JCE]

You didn't want to race it? (and lose?) j/k

 

[ferrari_chris]

Saw this on my way into town on Saturday morning:

The ride height seems really high to me.

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

im sure i could sneak this one in...

Oh yeah!

And ferrari_chris, that does look really high, that Merc. What kind of pycho does that?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

bloody ricers....(not really it was a real something or other RTS)

just found out that car is a PSI RTS-3 (based on a 996 GT2)

That Porsche is just silly. Great stuff! I haven't read the rest of the thread but isn't that a Gemballa special?!

Now, the reason why I didn't read the thread is cos I just saw this and now I am erect...

Am I the only person here who can say they have 2 Lamborghini Countach owners in my village!?

No... cos bloody Imageshack doesn't work...!!!

Just to make this post worthwhile...

I strongly disagree. The 612 looks so much better in the metal - and I have seen loads. Such a commanding roadpresence yet retaining such subtlety. That bonnet just goes on forever. I really like this car now, and a comparative bargain (though the 456GT still retains this status more so)
