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

[Famine]

Also this Veyron in Beverly Hills. (Also not very recent)

Apparently this belongs to a gentleman who is, curiously, named "The Game".

 

[Dennisch]

So I heard there's a GTR in Mary Land.

OMFGEXJDBWUFKFBDUD!!!!!

I heard that too!

The guy that owns bijan, that suit store next to the veyron, parks it out front every day...have you not seen it before?

 

[Tyger]

And, as I understand it, it is okay on the rare occasion to post without a photo if you have a really good story, and it also helps if you've posted here before with pics (which I know you have, Mr Initial D.)

To illustrate what I think might be appropriate posting without photos, I post pics fairly regularly and don't often post without pics, but tonight I saw a nice old Chevy Nova parked next door to my workplace. As it's currently nasty snowy weather here, I found it nice to see out, great profile on those era bodies. So, I snapped a pic with my phone. Then discovered since I changed my phone plan, I may not be able to email myself pics from my phone any more, and was sad. Then I thought, Snova, and felt I should share my story anyway, even without a pic, just so others could have the image of a Snova, too.

Just my two cents but I don't agree with this. Although I once argued when I first came across this thread that reporting sightings without pics should be allowed, I soon realised how that would really dilute the thread (as presumably was the case with the previous thread) and that ultimately, credible or not, no-one really cares.

So to me rules is rules and I think if you say "some" stories without pics are allowed, that's a heck of a blurry line you're drawing. Surely better to just stick to sightings with pics? Waaay more interesting too.

In other news as I type this there is a weird banner ad above, advertising Kaspersky Internet Security, endorsed by a beaming Fernando Alonso. Curious.

That was on my vacation to the west coast so that was the first time I saw it. Actually he died a short time after that so I don't know who the car belongs to now.

 

[jus1029]

Is that two Masers?

Yep.

 

[Rue]

Yep.

So many Maseratis here it's not even funny. I must have seen 30 today. Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! Let's make this thread the best on GTP in 2013.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I've not even seen 30 Maseratis in my whole life! Probably about 12.

 

[Minty]

Weird that the best and worst Chrysler product would end up in the same shot twice. Yea, been in close to 8 years now.

Oh dayum. I've been in that many months.

 

[kennylmao]

Looks like I'm the first to get a spot up this year, hoping this will be a sign of good things to come this year!

I think those are Morris Minors.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I think those are Morris Minors.

👍

 

[Doog]

Some far-away shots.

There's a Quattroporte hiding over there.

Right there.

An 8-Series of some sort; not sure which model. Appeared to be in average condition, though it curiously had an M badge on the trunklid.

 

[kennylmao]

Ahh, so that's what they're, thanks!

 

[JacoJa]

This is an interesting MX-5. Some kind of special edition, or a custom job?

Hardtop conversion.

 

[JacoJa]

From Wiki:

Also in 2003, a division of Mazda in Japan released the Roadster Coupé, with an integral hardtop roof. The body structure was reworked to incorporate the roof for a substantial increase in chassis rigidity and a weight increase of 10 kg (22 lb). Production was limited to 179 units for Japan only. This was to become one of the rarest forms of the MX-5.[14]

I never knew about that!

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Woah! That looks so much better than the convertible.

Never knew they made a coupe version of that generation.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

The wheel is on the right side as well. Has to be that super rare model. I've not even seen one and I'm living in Japan. Nor did I know that it existed. Great find!!!

Cool spot! This immediately reminded me if the Spoon hardtop for the Honda S2000.

DAT COUNTACH!

 

[homeforsummer]

DAT COUNTACH!

Seconded. Looks amazing in yellow.

A few recents from me. Apologies for Instagram-ness, but that's where I post them all originally.

In reverse-chronological order from today, we have a mid-80s Vauxhall Cavalier. In the 80s and 90s these would have been everywhere. Today, I'd be surprised if there are more than a few hundred left.

Morris Minor

Chrome Range Rover

And a Nissan 100NX (not that special, but certainly not a frequent spot)

Same! 👍
Chrome Range Rooney?

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I usually hate instagram's editing, but that Morris Minor shot is awesome! The photograph is great to start with, and the vintage feel fits it perfectly.

 

[homeforsummer]

Cheers 👍 It's a pity there are other, modern cars in shot otherwise it'd be more convincing. That, and I've committed the photography faux pas of having a tree grow out the roof. But that couldn't be helped, shooting side-on.
