This weekend I saw 2 awesome cars, weird cause it was quite stormy and snowing. The first was a nice black GT-R but it was too quick to get a picture. The next though, was even better. A Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and I'll get the photos up tomorrow. Theyre not great though, it was snowing and dark and we were trying to follow it on the highway.

Nice CWB pics, Paul! I am going to pick up the 24-100mm F/4.0 that you recommended soon I hope for just this kid of thing.

That is a seriously cool shot. I really like the atmosphere. 👍

Thanks guys, means a lot coming from you guys. I'm honestly still scratching the surface on my 7D, need to go out and shoot more.

Rupert the 24-105 f4 is fantastic if you want to achieve the same kind of sharpness you're used to on your Nikon lenses. I will get the 24-70 in a few months for sure because I have a more cropped sensor. Maybe we could swap lenses to play around with.

I think the driver in this Mini is a popular actor in HK. His name is 葛民輝, he's a big Mini fan. Anyway, nice shots as usual.

I'm actually quite surprised they are here even now.. London tends to get rather fired up with cars once Summer falls..
 
Well after that video, it's not where I thought. Still, now I want to go back in the summer to see the cars for my own eyes.
 
Saw something different today. I think it's an AMC Concord '78 or '79, but I really have no idea. It had sparkle metallic ruby paint, a hood scoop, racing stickers, and from the sound of it and its acceleration a big V8, in a small package.

Crap picture, but pretty sweet car. Can anybody ID for sure?

Not the typical car to see in San Diego. Saw this on the way home from mission bay near Sea World.
Edit: it's a Morgan, what I wouldn't do for a Morgan 3-wheeler.

He ended up cutting me then flew up the freeway on ramp, I couldn't keep up :(.
Think of a sumo wrestler (excursion) vs an olympic sprinter (Morgan A/S/S)
 
That Morgan is awesome. I saw a Plus 4 at a car show that was made in the 60's, looked at the Plus 4 on their website and it looked identical to the one I saw. I'm sure there can't be that many Morgans in the U.S. either. I too am a big fan of the 3 Wheeler, and I can't wait to see one.

I've got a question - what car is that, guys? I saw it two years ago and I still can;t figure that one out

I think its a Fiat Topolino. Another possibilty is a Simca 5. But both are basically the same car. Not sure what them things on the rear fenders are though.

I've yet to see many of these. Even the Z33 versions. So I was pretty happy when I saw this. :D

I just saw one of these for the first time over the weekend for sale at a dealer. Same color and all. I was stunned at how good it looked.

I've always thought that they looked pretty good. They probably needed about 10-15 more HP for me to think it's worth the extra money. But, they are very solid cars. I just wish I got a pic of the Amuse 380 RS that I saw in Roppongi this summer :( sigh
 
Front looked like a Topolino but what happened to the back? Neat little car though!

Loving the last few posts, I heart Morgans, never seen an Aero 8/Max/Whatever though, and the new 3 wheeler is indeed awesome, kinda "steampunk" style in some ways.

But the icing for me was that One-77/959 combo, how often does a Bentley Conti look totally outclassed like that? Sweeet cars :)
 
I passed by someone's house, and in the driveway was a Corvette C3, Chevy Bel Air, and some car that looks like a Volkswagen Kubelwagon.
 
Yes, I totally forgot to say how amazing that One-77 and 959 were!!! Incredible the things that can be found on the street in London!!!
