Wow, what a post Paul, if I had that parking lot under me I'd about have an aneurysm. The R33 is awesome :0
 
Here's a few i haven't uploaded

This was found in the student car park at my local university, have been trying to find out who the owner is. It was really weird spotting it amongst the fiestas and vauxhall astras :D

And i don't really see many American cars in the midlands so here's a Dodge RAM

Dodge Ram in the UK? Awesome.

Here's some old ones I don't think I ever put here:

Old BMW. Don't know what type. I thought the center exhausts were neat. (Not a Corvette)

:drool: Corvette, not BMW...

GT500

Another one. It sat at the local Ford dealer for 1.5 years (those colors :yuck:) and a bowling alley owner bought it (seen here it his bowling alley). He put some one off Foose wheels on it, but that doesn't really help the looks.

Nissan GT-R searching around a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership. He was really nice. I asked him if I could take a picture but I didn't have my phone to take a pic and he stayed while I brought up the camera on my mom's phone. He drives it quite a bit in the nice weather. I've seen him 4 or 5 other times, but this is the only pic I've got of it. He also has a friend with a red tuned GT-R that I've seen twice but no pics, yet.

Scumbag sun. Also me not thinking AT ALL. It's obviously waaay too hard to take a picture from a bigger angle like two meters away :cheers:

Yesterday, Lexus ISF (I saw five of those over the last week!):

This. It is a good picture and all but c'mon.

An Alpina sticker really gets your car on the interwebz.

:lol: funny you mention that, the Alpina is a replica, did a numberplate search and it comes back to a standard BMW E30 and the original E30 Alpina C2 had a different spoiler and front bumper.

Noticed it as I was pulling into the parking lot. Had to convince my sister to stop so I could walk over to take the pictures.
 
R1600Turbo
Since when are a Ford Flex, Nissan Altima and a Honda Odyssey worthy of this thread? :lol:

They're considered imports in our country. :p I know you have them from where you live, but the Philippines is littered with US-only grey-import cars. I'm just showcasing them because they're pretty rare compared to Corollas and Sentras.

Same here, in fact i've only ever seen a Flex on a stand at a show.

Please don't start complaining about cars that are common in your area - otherwise i'll moan about every Aston, Lotus, Landy, Mini and E.U market Ford that U.S users post. It goes both ways.

I'll moan about every Ford Ka, FJ40 and Ford Maverick I see here too.
 
CTS-V sedan for me today


and what do you think this is?






Yeah, Saab 9-2x, an Impreza rebadge, about 10,000 of these were made/sold from 1995-1996 in the US only. Not sure if this was the base or the 220hp turbo... Very surprising and funny to find car!

You mean 2005-2006? ;)

That's neat. I like that the person recognized that it was a rebadged Subaru and named everything as Saabaru.
 
The CL63 was never offered with a V12. What I think you got was either someone trying to dress up a normal CL, or a CL63 with V12 Bi-Turbo badges stuck on. Most likely the former.

That is out of my knowledge so I don't know. :lol:

Wasn't the first time I saw it though :S
 
With that generation of CL, the 63 was a naturally aspirated V12, while the 65 was a turbocharged V12. Both are very rare, 26 made of the 63 and 196 made of the 65, so either way it's an excellent spot. Of course, someone could have taken a CL500 and added all those badges, but even the CL500 is a good spot.
 
No matter what, the CL isn't exactly the most common of Mercs, so it's a pretty decent spot. Just not an AMG, I don't think. :lol:


Edit: It was offered with a V12? Now I feel dumb. I thought all 63 Mercs had V8s.
