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:

Well that's errmmm, eye-catching :crazy:
 
I had also seen a car that I didn't think existed. I was driving and I couldn't get to my camera but it looked exactly like this

the weird part was it was a shooting brake. Did corvette actually make these or was it a one off custom?
 
Same place.
Maserati Gran Turismo, Ferrari 458 Italia + California, a couple of Bentleys and another Maserati in the background:

Mother of God. :drool: There's about $1,100,000 of exotic material there!
 
SL63




maybe not interesting to most, and rubbish shot, but 70's e30 series corolla hatchback, just don't see anything like this around


beautiful FC


Panamera looked nice, maybe GTS? nah, no fixed spoiler


Silver shadow II, I think


and this one just because it's rural America, a Corvette, a motorcycle, and a truck.
 
Well, I didn't see them today, it was yesterday but here it goes:

Mercedes C63 AMG
2 Alfa Romeo Brera
Aston Martin v8 Vantage
Lamborghinni Gallardo

Probably the best line up i saw in just one day (don't forget some cayennes and panameras...)

On the way to Le Mans at the weekend. These were the cars in our convoy. I was driving the red Jag Mark II. What a 4 days!

Oh go to hell. The Porsche shot is awesome and confirms what I've been telling you for years: You SHOULD get a freaking owner of a freaking car to let you take pictures of his/her car. In a totally controlled enviroment you would kick ass.

Things I saw this past weekend:

Couldn't get a close picture because I was absolutely in awe. :drool:

Sorry if the pics aren't close enough. Best I could do :)

How can people be SO unsensitive? You see your dream car yet you don't even go close; you find a collection of muscle cars including a "legendary" Superbird, yet you have two pics of the entire collection taken like 20 meters away. Wtf. I would have pulled over immediately and taken loads of pics of each car. specially if it's my "dream car".

Anyway, the muscle cars are a custom ragtop Challenger SRT8 (purple), a 1971 'Cuda (white), a 1970 'Cuda (lime green), a 1970-71 Challenger (black), a 1970 Challenger RT Convertible (purple), the mentioned Superbird in red, and what could be a Duster 340 in black.

That is very true; however sometimes you do have to be getting somewhere like work...or an appointment..and if I (personally) was driving with other people sitting as passengers - females (my friends understand) they would be like wtf. :P :lol:
 
Fairly sure that's a standard Skyline with a GT-R front bumper. The grille on the GT-R is mesh and has the GT-R badge on it rather than the Skyline "S". Decent looking S'Line anyway, looks clean.

Don't forget the flared rear wheel-arches (or lack thereof) ;)

Oh go to hell.

:D Got plenty more for you!
 
this was a great way to start the day, way out in the country as I'm just leaving for market at 8:45, Maserati Granturismo. Looked great in white with black trim when it appeared over a crest in the road with the dawn light being reflected back to me (I was heading west). Was so stunned I'm surprised I got a pic of it.

Edit: any chance this could be an MC or anything? Edit 2: confirmed MC Stradale!


1971ish Camaro for Cano


and a 1974ish Duster


Liked the look of this, old Prelude. Then noticed the Si. What the hell, I'll snap a pic. Turns out the 3rd gen Prelude Si is ultra-rare in North America. Woo hoo!


And then this sweetness...

Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II, one of 519 made for NASCAR homologation, evidently not in original trim

The rear wing is also in line with the rear bumper. Needs to be much higher and more prominent for it to be a GTR
 
From a recent trip overseas:

Aston Martin One-77

I have a few more, but those were the highlights.
