I saw a lot of those in Alderley Edge, love the design! Did they make a Turbo model?

*Digs in archive* Yeah. :)


Just noticed the last 993 was car nr. 100 spotted, I started last year so it's more than I've expected.
 
If wikipedia is right there are about 5900 993 Turbos produced, with the 993 Carrera RS Coupé being the rarest (1017).
I really like the shape of this model.

I consider Lotus to be a common manufacturer to find, I see around 8 a week in the UK, depending on when I go looking. Might have some on my Flickr, got many pages of flashy cars. One Porsche I'm looking for is the Carrera GT, I'm already bored with the new 911.

It depends where you live really, I consider a Ferrari to be common, because I know I'll see one before heading out. And I always do, that or a V10 Audi, seems to be a lot of them knockin' about.

Yeah, there's a lot of decent cars in the UK. Not too many over here in Scarborough, but the Audi R8 is really popular round here.

993 Turbo S is the rarest. It looks like a Turbo but it has an air intake just above the rear wheel-arches. They only sold 183 units, of which I have seen two here...

And a white one recently but I can't find the pic.
 
Giving the new camera a shot. Not too bad of a selection for about fifteen minutes of spotting on base.

Can't tell you how mad I am for not having my own portable camera. With only the crappy digital camera that my parents have, there's nothing else to take photos that can be uploaded to the PC. Anyways, due to no pictures, I have no proof of what I saw. -_-

Pretty rare here (at least I think it is), spotted an Alfa Romeo Milano Verde!! (aka 175) Along with my first spotting of the Nissan Leaf and 2nd spotting of an Audi TTS. All of these at the Dollar Tree store. Apologies for no pictures. :(
 
Went to Woodward tonight not expecting to see too much since it's April, but:

I'll have all the spots tomorrow, I don't want to resize all 100 some pictures.
 
You might like the 39 Chevy and a couple others I posted in the event and showroom thread.

Are Nissan Leafs rare where you live? I've been seeing them all the time around here; you'd think it's the next Prius. :dunce:

They're still pretty uncommon. I've only heard of one (My friend told me he spotted a white one near my work place) and the one I saw yesterday. Up here in Maine, there's barely any "next gen" type of vehicles on the road. I've only seen two Chevrolet Volts (white and red) in the area. Mainly because my state's full of rednecks in pickups... :yuck:
 


Early 60s Bel Air I seen this morning. Seen a red Ford GT too, but ignore that because l got no pic. The Ford GT looked a bit weird, may have been a really good replica. Theres lots of replicas of GTs around here.

Just seen this.

Finally got around to get a halfway decent picture of my friends friends SVT Cobra R, only 300 of this year exist. He took off the bumpers and put stock ones (painted in auto body class at my school) on it though because he said they kept on bottoming out. Rough roads out here. If anyone is skeptical next time I get close I'll try and take a pic of the SVT badge on the back.

Is that for sale?
 
I saw a Ferrari 550/575 today, no pics because no phone and we couldn't stop but it was silver and it was really weird to see a Ferrari where it was because the most expensive car around here is a luxury coupe.

Lol, you'd be surprised with the decent amount of nice car's in Guelph. Especially the south end with all the rich neighborhoods.
