Naa man. I love the cleaner front of the 350z and the fact it was in blue give it a link with gtacademy (kinda :3)

I meant the labels, you've got them the wrong way round. ;)

Also, Jeff, great spotting! I love seeing all the old American classic cars. Your enthusiasm comes across well too!

Nice Copen! Only once ever saw one. :lol:

I'd imagine the Stratos is a replica - if I had a real one I wouldn't go putting aftermarket stickers saying 'Lancia' and 'HF' all over the car to reassure others in driving a Lancia Stratos. :P

Pretty boring day in terms of spotting. Pretty average.

Okay, so, there was this SLS near Tesco. [1 of 4]

And another one, don't confuse it with the next one, they are different. [2 of 4]

Here is the next one, difference is in the wheels. [3 of 4]

And finally. [4 of 4]

Now, some boring DB9 Aston's, the Rapide was nice though.

Some old Lambo in a car park.

Always at least one 458, this one had a black roof for some reason.

Boring selection by the standards of where I spot.

Yeah...that's definitely "average and boring" stuff...
 
Haven't posted my own pictures in this thread for a while... But finally got some on the way to an autocross event and on the way back from it. Not many, but there was a C63 AMG and 50s Cadillac Eldorado that I was not able to snap a picture of. I know we must post pictures, so here's what I was able to capture. :)

Rather uncommon here in the States for obvious reasons. A Canadian VW Golf City!

Anyone know what this is?

Not an event, but three Chrysler products parked at an empty racetrack (oval course...being Maine) Might be an event, but we just drove by it and I snapped this picture.

Will be posting pictures from the autocross event in the Events and Showrooms thread.

This is NOT a replica, this photo was taken fresh from the cars vinyl wrap in Carlisle.
 
Mmmm, Amuse! Always want to take pics of S2000's anyway, but they're too common I guess. Would love to see one of these! And Cressida and Citroen nice, too!

And Europa! But evidently the country boy went a little wild in the big city, holy photo-dump batman! Nice spot on the Maybach, too.
 
Epic page people; Nismo, how come we don't have a picture of the 1971 cuda beside that awesome Hemi Polara? Heck, how come we don't have engine, interior,detail pictures of that car?
 
When I get home I'll upload pictures. I've seen recently a Ferrari California and a lightly tuned R33 Skyline GTR which are very rare round these parts.
 
These are from the past week or so.

M5. Abused on the left rear. :( shame

Yup it's a "normal" one, I used to have a matchbox (or possibly majorette) die-cast one in that exact colour :)

Regarding the 7-style car, I was going to suggest a Dutton too, back in the 80s there were quite a lot of them around my way, more common than Caterhams for sure. There was another model called the Velos too, they always looked kinda "wrong" to me though, not sure why.

EDIT: Seems it was Melos, not Velos. I have a feeling that was down to some tacky vinyl lettering on the one I saw the most though :)
 
Things I saw this past weekend:


I finally saw my dream car in the flesh. Couldn't get a close picture because I was absolutely in awe. :drool:

2cfy5w8.jpg


I passed by this guy's collection of vintage muscles. I saw the legendary Superbird! Maybe the experts can guess what the other cars are lol

Sorry if the pics aren't close enough. Best I could do :)
 
I'm currently on vacation in Southern France, where I've seen a few cars here and there:

First thing I saw coming out from the airport, this hideous Hamann Hawk Roadster:

DBS and AMG wagon:

DB9:

Phantom and 612 in front of the Casino in Monaco:

Ghost (EDIT: Phantom. I stand corrected):

DBS:

F430:
f430c.jpg


I was eating at a restaurant when this drove by. Barely got a shot of it (also missed a few other cars there, but I had to shoot this one, so I ended up jumping up from my chair, chasing after it).
MP4 12C:
mp412c.jpg


Not so original Essex Super Six:
essexsupersix.jpg


Gulf GT:
95413726.jpg


After seeing about five or six of these drive by, I was finally able to find one parked, so I could take a pic.
458 spider:
458spider.jpg


Same place.
Maserati Gran Turismo, Ferrari 458 Italia + California, a couple of Bentleys and another Maserati in the background:
granturismo458californi.jpg


Cayman with an ugly TECHART GTsport kit:

Gallardo and 612 (same one as before):

F430 spider with ugly carbon stickers plastered all over :indiff:
f430spidery.jpg


360:
360c.jpg


Porsche 911 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder. Couldn't get a proper photo:
porsche911turbosedition.jpg


Finally, a SLS AMG:
slsamgo.jpg


That's all from the past two days. I'll probably (hopefully) be seeing more cars in the following week.

EDIT: Also, the 458's and SLS (and the McLaren! :drool:) look much better in the flesh than on photos!

I really should have paid attention to the distinct lack of turbo badges :lol:
Click to expand...

Plus lack of rear spoiler and humungous air dam at the front, amongst other nuances ;) Still such neat little cars though, I would give 10 modern BMWs for any one car they built up to the late 80s.
