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

Thanks, Cano.

And, freaking Noble!!! Amazing amazing spot!

M5's are always nice, too, gt5fanatic. I think I've only seen 3 to date, one from this series and two from the previous. Is it just me or are they really that much less common than M3's in the states?

and I got very excited today when I saw this! not in running condition, and not pretty, but still the first Esprit I've ever seen. Riding on 285/30 ZR18's, fat.




Supra , and is that 2nd 442 accelerating hard or just set up that way?

That Ferrari badge shot is amazing.

👍

The only thing missing is that Nismo tells us that epic post was just one day. Awesome, awesome spots. I don't even know where to begin. I think my favorite are the Mercury and Oldsmobile lead sleds but there are several other cars in the post tha make me feel funny inside my pants.

Awesome spot on the Noble, the Packard, the Lotus and omFg, the MVS Venturi!!! I love those things!!!

Hyper-epic page, people.

So I'm a moron and already, 15 minutes later, forgot the password and email that was linked to my Flickr page. I have made a new one if anyone wishes to follow it. I'll post the picture of the Olds sled because it's awsome, like Cano said. And yes, that was all one day.

Ya the M5 is much less common than the M3. In the right area you could probably see several M3s in one day. M5s are mostly seen around doctors offices.

It's been a while since I've posted..

Lamborghini LP640 at my school:

Horrible shot of a GTR. Whatever

CLS 63 AMG. I thought the license plate was cooler than the car, hence the shot:

575 (or 550, not sure) Maranello:

Black 458:

Red 458:

at my school:

Matte Black Aventador with 4 Seasons in the background:

At the 4 seasons, an SLS roadster and a white Phantom Coupe:

And now a black Phantom Coupe:

I was taking a picture of an Azerbaijan advertisement I saw in Geneva for a friend, and a C2S convertible happened to enter the shot:

R8:

Ferrari Testarossa with Bentley and Porsche:

Similar Carrera:

Evora and Cayenne S:

New A-Class, with a 599 in the background:

Matte Black Aventador, with a GTC in the background (there was a Maserati Granturismo right behind it as well but it was a little lower on my 'take a picture' priority list):

Well that's it for this time!

lol wut?

Nice spots there. I especially like the Aventador, it looks just evil. The Testarossa is damn nice as well.

Yeah in retrospect I kind of feel like in idiot lol.

Thanks.

Guml8all, you lost me at the red 458, what car are you driving? Looks a lot like a W220 👍.

 

[Guml8all]

Close, it's a C215 (:

 

[Peterram430]

There's a new Porsche Boxster parked across the road from me now, wow that's a good looking car! Far nicer in the metal than than pictures IMO. Quite big looking though. Looks leagues ahead of the previous Boxster and could pass for a car costing up to about £100k. It actually makes me think of an Audi R8 Spyder more than anything else.
ETA: Also I didn't like that gold-grey in the photos but it actually works really well.

Ah, what model? That's a great looking colour for the interior, lovely car .

Nice spot. I completely agree that it looks so much better than the 987, but personally I don't think it looks £100k worthy. Just a matter of opinion though.

CL 500. Thanks!

Well that's it for this time!

If it weren't for the fact that a Noble M400 resides in this area that I can see at free will, I would definitely consider moving to Switzerland right about now...

 

[Cano]

Got damn Switzerland, that's a lot of exotic iron and plastic!

Haha it's a great place, except for the fact that everything's 3 times more expensive

Indeed. Bad for my heart :/

 

[jeffgoddin]

crummy shot, but this is the first FD I've ever seen, at least in the past ten years, before that who knows... looked mint, all stock. Takahashi Keisuke anybody?


Edit: just did some checking to figure out why I never see these. Almost 14,000 were in fact imported to the US from 1993-1995. If this is the original color of this car, it's a 1993 Type R (or R1?), the only year and spec which wore the Competition Yellow Mica, and one of only 350 brought over here.

 

[LOGAN8TOR88]

A few from this weekend...

My first 599!

These two arrived in front of a Starbucks and made quite a scene!

This one made a lovely sound!

And lastly a 911 GT2

 

[jeffgoddin]

are you in Portland? nice spots regardless!

 

[LOGAN8TOR88]

Yes I am! Haha wow another Portlander on GTP?

 

[jeffgoddin]

No, just a guess to provide more context for your spots. I'm in Cleveland but used to live in CA so I recognized the redwood plates. No 599's in my town, AFAIK, and I'd guess not many in Portland, either. Now if you were in LA or Houston, I don't imagine you'd be nearly as excited seeing one.

Yeah I've seen about three other 599's for sale, but this was my first in person. I do know Ron Tonkin Granturismo has a 599 GTO! I've been thinking of heading up there to get some pictures.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Hee hee, yeah, sometimes I hear of a car and get the urge to go check it out, even if it means driving 50 miles. Just found out a friend of my roommate's dad has one of the 50 or so Hemi 'Cuda's made special for Super Stock drag racing, and yeah, I'm going to go track it down. Not sure if that's exactly an "in the wild" spot any more, but it's not showroom or event, either, so I figure I'll post the pics here.

 

[WrxScooby]

Spotted my buddies skyline today sorry for pic I was driving haha.

Apparently many owners are trying to sell before the bottom falls out the 599 re-sale market. Why is it that modern front-engined Ferrari V12s (GTO discounted) depreciate so much? 550, 456, 612...
