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

[Turbo Lag]

I saw 15 Porche's, from 911's to Boxsters.
Also saw a Ferrari F430 *drules*

All in Melbourne, Australia

If you're in South Yarra, here's a good place to go . I go there quite often when I visit school.

DB9

57s

the biggest, most ridiculous monster truck ever, I'm sure it gets great gas mileage

V8V

 

[nk4e]

What model of the Lotus is this? I thought it was a KIT car

I saw a Lifted Van but I was too busy to take a picture of it.

 

[phase3]

^^That is one sweet truck

 

[zonderf]

Lotus Seven with the hood taken off

 

[GT Pro]

Yea Melbourne is pretty good for cars.
Whenever we go over there we always stay on the lookout for nice cars

Melbourne's city streets are fairly good (Brighton being an obvious standout among Toorak and Kew's 35-or-so registered RR's), but coastal QLD definitely tops the list. 👍

And I thought our 7.3l Crew Cab F-250 XLT was huge.

 

[McLaren]

That's one of those ridiculous custom F-650s. You're looking at over $100,000 easy for one of those suckers.

 

[bergauk]

Isn't there some football player with one of those?

And that is not a sweet truck. NOW. The Ford E-350 with 600 or so horsepower that my brother owns. Ahat is sweet. Along with my dads F-350 with something equal to that. They are both sweet.

Custom F-650? Fail. Waste of money and waste of space. Its a fleet vehicle they should not be driven like they're some sort of luxury car.

 

[McLaren]

Your brother has a 600 horsepower Ford van? I call bs unless you have proof of that. I don't know of any tuner who has added another 300Bhp on top of the E-Series' already 306Bhp V10.

 

[bergauk]

Its not a V10 and its not one of the current models. '01 I think. Come summertime when he pays off the 15,000$ on the motorwork he had done. I'll be sure to post the dyno stats from it. Currently its sitting in the driveway with a cover in it.

Edit: And if you don't believe it. I'll go take pictures of all the parts going into the engine when it comes back.

 

[McLaren]

So, your brother dumped $15,000 into a Ford E-Series engine just to get 600Bhp? It's either really cool, or really pointless. What good is 600Bhp going to do in an E-Series, anyways?

 

[bergauk]

Eventually, he's going to turn it into something. Either alternative fuel limo, or offroad beast of some sort. He's going to make it into something just not sure what yet. 600bhp in a vehicle that has barely any frills = fun.

It's probably not an original Lotus 7. Chances are it's any one of a number of replicas (Caterham, Westfield, etc. etc...)

 

[Serge.D]

SL with AMG badge.


Turbo or Carrera with a spoiler.

 

[homeforsummer]

Today:

BMW Z4 Coupe (I think it was an M-coupe, but not sure as it has a few non-standard parts on it). Looked damn nice either way.

And camo VW Type 2 panel van, which was just plain awesome. Image is a bit noisy as light was getting low and the photo was taken on my phone cam.

Turned into UK money that price actually doesn't seem so bad. Would be roughly the same as a Range Rover.

You'd have to be clinically insane to drive an F-650 in the UK though.

(Apologies for double post)

Yo, dawg, I heard you like vans so we put a pair of Vans in your van so you can wear your Vans while you drive your van....I'm done I swear.

 

[Glanza-V]

I had a pair of vans.
Airmax FTW!!!

In USA money it is about 40% more than a Range Rover.

brilliant post.

Today in Denver-

Oddly this one was on Tennessee 'Univ of Tennessee' plates & had, of all things, a Lamborghini of Atlanta plate frame! Weird spot for the winter...

Small world...those rims look awesome on that car too.

Today from Atlanta...

Esprit

Silver Seraph

Phantom and Bentley

SRT/10 Coupe...this guy must be a mall rat

Maserati Coupe, I don't know how I screwed this picture up so bad, but I did

 

[Glanza-V]

Is that a real rich/posh area?

 

[kevinm]

Dude, I gotta get up to Lenox soon!!! Winter obviously ain't an issue up there like my dad said it will be. Lol! -kevin

 

[zonderf]

Oh yeah

Dude, I gotta get up to Lenox soon!!! Winter obviously ain't an issue up there like my dad said it will be. Lol! -kevin

It may seem like it hasn't been an issue but I can't tell you the last time I saw a Gallardo or a 430, which are usually pretty common cars around here.

 

[1X83Z]

Agreed - I think they're just the regular wheels, painted.

No.

DO NOT come in winter. It takes quite a bit of work to eek out the spots that Andrew's getting, and you'll note, as he said, even with the work he's putting in he's not seeing the high-dollar sports cars. I haven't seen a new Gallardo in Buckhead since the end of August - all just repeats of prior ones. Hopefully the economy will improve with the weather and by April we'll see a few more exotics.

 

[Alex.]

Well, gentlemen. I think I'm done with car spotting.

I'd like to think I've given you some nice sightings in the past, a few of which are yet to be seen by any other members. If you dont mind I might put a few of my favorite spots here as a farewell to car spotting.

This will forever be my favorite of all my spots. I was 14, hadn't really seen a nice car before and this showed up.

Merry Christmas and I hope all of you have a great 2009 for spotting.​

 

[ModdinArt]

saw a cool 300z comin home from Fudruckers:

very well done car.

 

[Serge.D]

Hey Alex are you really gonna stop with car spotting?

Today.




My first TVR Griffith.
In GT4 that car looks bigger.




Renault Clio Sport.

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Cool Nice spots, The TVR is great but wow that thing is TINY.

 

[Alex.]

Nice spots serge, and yes. If I see anything spectacular that I happen to bump into I might take a couple of shots and show them here, but I'm no longer an official spotter. I've seen every car I wanted to and can hang up my car spotting boots.
