Need help with this one. Big money up the street got some classic in one garage and lambo in the other.

That's an Auburn Boattail! Most likely an 851. If it's real(they're highly replicated) it's worth upwards of 300k depending on condition. You should go up to the owner, ask questions and take more pictures!

Sucks to hear about your old Z! I'm glad you could find another one, and that one looks to be in good shape too.

@playnthru is that a Santa Ynez rally sticker on the Merc?

and @Doog, yeah I was highly skeptical, the driver was like, yeah, it's real, it was an experimental thing they were trying, the engine is different...
 
I've been seeing lots and lots of good sets of wheels yet I seem to be in complicated conditions. A SQ5, a Bentley, the 1M, a E39 M5, a Lumma CLR600, the list is endless, yet I got these two together (I have my doubts about the first one)

Informal car meets go there? Well, I guess my previous posts aren't eligible then.
 
There are definitely some gray areas of what goes here and what goes in the other thread, but the rule should be, if you didn't know you were going to see it, and you get that "wild spot" feeling, and you think the rest of us may be able to share that feeling if you post it here, then it goes here. If you knew there was going to be a meetup, while still great to see, it doesn't have the same punch as spotting something unexpectedly in the wild, and goes in the other thread.

Dagger's above spot of the 15 Chevies is a good illustration. I'm sure he didn't expect to see it, it's not obviously a car show with a bunch of guys sitting in lawn chairs behind their cars, and I think most of us here would agree that's a valid wild spot/mega spot. Plus it helps that he didn't go through and take photos of each and every car and post them, that would get a bit boring, while the single group shot is pretty cool.

Okay then.
Also, are my previous Sunday photos violating the rules?

I never got the feeling they were over the line... I spot a lot at places where I expect to see good cars like country clubs and mall/restaurant valets, and while not as exciting as, for example, seeing the Ghost in my neighborhood yesterday, which is totally unexpected, you're still not sure you're going to see anything... Those previous photos all had that feeling to me. It also helps when you don't have a bunch of other people in your photos standing around with cameras waiting for the cars to drive past...
 
So, that's a yes. That means I wasted everyone's bandwidth by loading my photo dumps.

Time to go back to "going home from school" spots.

From my holidays:

Rolls Royce Ghost in Phnom Penh, Cambodia


Porsche Panamera in Phnom Penh (the one behind makes it look like a workshop or dealer, no signs or anything though)
IMG_20140721_105905577_zps684a42c8.jpg


S-Class in Phnom Penh. Big Mercs, BMW 7 Series', Range Rovers etc. were actually quite common there but the contrast with the abject poverty was very striking.


Rolls Royce Phantom in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
