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

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I have no idea. It left before I could talk to the people who had it. it had a sticker on the windscreen that said GMPT Tuning or something.

 

[Dac_Xint]

A Renault Megane RS for the Dac, sorry not in yellow, actually very modest look in white:

Haha, thank you, I really appreciate it. In my opinion any colour looks good on that car.

Nismo_Skyline that's one nice Ferrari, great spot!

They are probably data ports or something like that for testing.

 

[Rue]

The rest from yesterday...

Rue, awesome spot on that yellow 964 Carrera RS 3.8!

Unfortunately, it's not a 3.8 but a 3.6 Turbo. It just has the wing added.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

All those are nice, but I love the R34s more then any of them.

Can anyone translate this? Or even know what it is or what language.

 

[Joey D]

Looks like Chinese to me, my Chinese translator guy isn't as work today or I'd have him look at it.

 

[exigeracer]

Rue, totally love the first Alfa and that Paul Smith Mini.

 

[magicalgin]

whoooops didnt saw the other thread

 

[Rotary Junkie]

RE: Weird Caddy... It's obviously a test car of some sort but I'd definitely like to know what purpose it serves; I remember having seen a MkI Focus around the neighborhood absolute yonks ago with the same tip on the exhaust and wiring bits...

 

[Heldenzeit]

308 GTB

Im calling fake on this one. The hood vents are too big and the rear wheels dont look right....its out of proportion. The door latches are wrong and 308s have flip up lights.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I don't know, I'm not really into Ferraris that much. I just went off the badges on the back.

Edit:

More Woodward. Some might be repeats, but oh well.

Trans Ams

Probably a fake GT 350

Z 28s

Big old Caddy

Carrera

Firebird

Mid 80's Mustangs

Was this paint job special?

Old Corvette

A couple Cadillacs

Olds

Another Trans Am

Mustang

Fury?

Some poles, and a Bonneville

Big Dodge or something.

That's about it for my Woodward day. I may go back in two weeks.

 

[Cano]

Trans Ams = epic, specially the drag 3d gen with bolt-on cowl induction. the olds looks pretty mean too but it needs BIG tires outback. awesome stuff... lotsa repeats, but awesome :0

And Rue... seeing your posts it a total car overload. There still are times that I see what you and Paul come up with in like 15 minutes and go "crap, it just can't be true...", even tough I've seen it all for years now. It still amazes me. And by that I of course take for granted that you are also still amazed.

That said, the quality drop sure is apparent. Heck dude, really, what do you do to them? o_o

 

[exigeracer]

AMV8

DB7 Volante that I couldn't get any good angles on:

Ford GT parked next to a Jaguar XK140. The car cover over the Jag and an off-frame red Sunfire ruined any decent photography of the pairing:

 

[Rue]

exigeracer, your photos never fail to disappoint! Seriously, how do the cars you see end up in like the most photogenic places? Coupled with your camera skills your pics are outstanding

 

[Cano]

Lotus, you and your scenic city can go dump yourselves in a deep hole. Heck living there would make my work EASY. just walk around a corner, find a location. Move three meters, find a location. Can I have the secons Aston picture big time?

also, DB7 in vertical composition? was it not possible?

And aaaalso, er, couldn't you, like take the car cover off the jag and just desaturate the red of the Pontiac? hehehe

EDIT: Heck, can I also have the DB7 big time? :0

 

[Dac_Xint]

All those are nice, but I love the R34s more then any of them.

It says "Shanghai Tong Yong", which is the Chinese joint company that sells Chinese assembled Caddys here in China. I guess its going through testing as someone else mentioned.

That said, the quality drop sure is apparent. Heck dude, really, what do you do to them? o_o

I wonder what he does with his camera behind closed doors too

exigeracer *&@%^!*)you, how do you do that, your pictures just look so right everytime. Can I please have them in XXL size please? I have a collection of your photos now and it proves to be really great for panning screen savers

Agreed! I was just telling my wife while looking at those, I really need to learn how to use manual settings on our camera! I have a D80 and only using the auto setting is just not using the camera.


I wish I could have got a pics of two things I seen earlier, but they both were going down the road and trying to pull out my cell and get it into camera mode just couldn't happen that fast. The first thing that made me slightly sad and shocked as well was a SLK Mercedes around 2005 or so delivering pizza today, it had a papa johns lighted topper sticking right on the roof of it You have to be kidding me!? Seriously guy come on! The second was a brand new BMW M3 in grey, oh my god that car has some damn fine lines to it, love.....

 

[Vince_Fiero]

I don't know, I'm not really into Ferraris that much. I just went off the badges on the back.

Not correct proportions, different wheels on the back, made me think of the Pontiac Fiero kit (where did I get this from???). Best place to see is the back, since the engine is completely differently placed in both cars.

The real one:

Pontiac Fiero with kit:

Edit tried another one:

Here is a Pontiac Fiero before and after:

Conclusion: It is probably a real Mera Ferrari kit on a Pontiac Fiero, still like the spot.

P.S. I prefer the Fiero GT as Fiero though

========================================================

Edit from lunch (all in the same shopping mall where I went eating):

Alpina B3 BiTurbo

An ABT Audi TT (between a C350 CDI and a Golf GTI):

An Audi R8, back on the way to get my mobile I forgot this morning at home:

=======================

I bet it has a blown head gasket. Probably saving his pennies for a Honda or Audi engine swap.

The guy works for one of the companies that deliver the original engine, look above the car.

 

[DKX]

New Audi. I really like this design.

New Ram 3500. Again, diesels trucks are rather rare down here.

Normal Mustang.. had a 2010 rear though.

Old Cadillac for Cano

Decent Escalade.

Two specials:

The only Train(s) in Newfoundland.

The HMCS Fredericton. I love seeing war ships like this. I watched it leave too.

Also seen an old Monte Carlo SS, an AMC Eagle (will be hunting down.) and some Stangs (65, 72 and a Foxbody. Foxbody nearly ran us off the road.) but couldn't get the camera in time.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Edited quote:

I know a normal Mustang ... but with 2010 rear

Where did this go. I was checking and between all the Porsches 911 (yes, Turbo, GT3, GT3RS, Green, Martini stripes, .....) I would find it normal some people still like to see a "Normal" Mustang and post it here.

Hell this is what I liked from going shopping last night:

Peugeot 504

Saab

VW Beatle

VW Golf R32

Mini Cooper

===============

Edit:

Rue

Welcome to the Jungle for the orange beast, I like it!

I removed it so I didn't get people going "Oh wow, a Mustang. So common. I'll put it back though.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

So some other stuff from today, did not even get back to the week-end yet:

Going back to work at lunch:

Bentley Turbo R:

Always good for a bright moment a green Ford Focus RS:

No clue what the AMG indicator on this one is, a Mercedes E30 with AMG exteriour or interiour?

Going home after work, driving a different route to get bread:

A Nissan Z350 in the colour I saw it the first time, with very weird emergency repair.

A BMW Z3 M-roadster

Might be the white Maserati GranTurismo I got 2 weeks ago:

 

[Rue]

Your pics are great Vince. Luxembourg looks like a very interesting place for spotting cars. Your GranTurismo is the 'S' version. Sound so good don't they?!

 

[breakpoint]

I don't know if you guys just missed my last post or if none of you found it less shocking than I did. A mid 2000's SLK Merc delivering pizzas with a the papa johns magnetic topper stuck to the top of it.....that made me sick when I seen it. Is that not shocking!? Disheartening? Its like seeing this 1970 Nova not too far from me that the people won't sell ( I asked them 11 years ago ) and they have it parked in the rear of the yard right under a tree, and now there is a tree branch that has fell 90% of the way off the tree that is laying on top of the car It has been sitting there with the tree branch laying on it for 2 years now, if you are going to let a fine piece of history just destroy its self then at least sell it and let someone else who appreciates it restore it and save its life! I am asking again as soon as I have about 2k in my pocket in case they say yes this time!

 

[Cale]

Was this paint job special?

Commemorative edition. Last year for the C5.

It's not uninteresting, it just lacks pics. As for that Nova, I'd apreciate some pictures (:

Vince, interesting stuff, the Bentley turbo R is the star. you dont see those.

I can get a pick of the Nova for sure, can try tomorrow:tup: As far as the SLK, it was driving past me going down the road so whipping out my cell and getting it into camera mode before it passed wasn't happening, thats just silly to be doing that in a car like that. And if you can afford that car why would you be delivering pizzas!?

 

[Vince_Fiero]

As far as the SLK, ... And if you can afford that car why would you be delivering pizzas!?

Reminds me of this one I posted in the Aston Martin Fans social section:

Adverts on an Aston Martin Vantage on the public road???
What were you thinking dude!! Rent a bill board, please.

 

[breakpoint]

Most people see a car just as a car, where us we see it more, sort of like art. And the 2010 M3 I seen that same trip I seen that SLK was pure art, those were some nice body lines for sure!

You have a larger shot? I'm pretty sure I've seen that being the logo for an exotic car rental.
