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

analog · Jan 10, 2015

It's been a while I last spotted the dark grey Maserati Bora driving through my town but some time ago I did see a beautifully kept dark brown Ferrari 400 GT sitting next to a garage, oh and a cute white NSU Prinz parked in front of my house strangely enough.

Try and take a picture of the cars before you post then people will believe what you say. @TwinTurbo LM UTEs aren't common in the US maybe a few people will like to see them.

I don't always carry my phone with me, and if people don't want to believe me, that's fine (it isn't like I was claiming there was a Bugatti Royale parked in front of my house

)

It's not that nobody believes you, but nobody wants to just read what you saw today, we'd like to see some actual photographs of it.

Understood, I'll refrain from rambling then.

When I saw the LaFerrari in magazines, I didn't like the way it looked. Then I saw it

The stripes are there for the car to glow in the dark.

You were in Maranello to see that specific LaFerrari, weren't you? :sly:

Because I might have to disappoint you, I was there too and that one is only a clay model:

Shame on you, Museo Ferrari

On another note, these are my spots from my trip to London:

There should be a Saab 900 Turbo somewhere in there

Edit: Dang it, I somehow managed to mess up @TwinTurbo LM 's quote.

Gotbeefboy564 · Jan 10, 2015

Think I remember that Porsche has 900 hp. It's on YouTube.

RandomCarGuy17 · Jan 10, 2015

Finally, I shall post my first spots of the year.

First, this was spotted a few days ago, but I didn't want to post it by itself. It's a Volvo C30 R-Design. It's actually the first C30 R-Design I've seen in a long time. I think the last one I saw was at an Auto Show back in 2012.

Today:

Alright, my fourth SL spotted in the last 4 weeks and my first R231 AMG.

I saw this 1st Gen 4-Runner in another parking lot at a grocery store.

After leaving the grocery store, I went across the street to look at the 2 auto repair shops to see if there was anything interesting. The first one had this Grand Wagoneer, I figured it's a good spot since I've seen people post this kind of Jeep before.

The 2nd Auto Shop still oddly enough had this SW20 MR2 there. I wanted to take a better picture of it, so here.

Anyway, it looks like it's in decent shape.

At a house near the auto shops, there was this mid-70s Corvette sitting there.

Well, I went back into the grocery store parking lot, because I saw this Jaguar E-Type pulling in. It's been a while since I saw one. oh yeah, there was another guy by the Jag that was taking pictures of it too. We had a small conversation. XD

Last year, I was looking at this fenced off area at the cars there, but I couldn't get decent enough shots to share due to how limited my previous phone was. My new phone though has slightly better zoom quality. So, I managed to get pictures of this ST160 series Toyota Celica and VW Van.

Sweet stuff there, guys! Only Diego can make me like Beetles! :lol:

E-type out in winter, in the middle of nowhere (I'm assuming), very cool! And I love the 4WD GL!

Had a terrible day myself... couldn't take a picture to save my life. '57 bel aire cruising towards me nice and slow... and for some reason I have to wait until it is over my shoulder and behind a tree to take a photo... ugh. That's just one example of about 6 pretty nice cars I missed today due to my own temporary incompetence... But, there were some goodies besides, and I may have even gotten a nice photo or two.

I looked it up now and the one you mean is in fact in London but running on Quatar plates.
But I found out something better: it is one of only 40 Turbo S GB Edition :dopey:

Yeah, it doesn't get that cold often down in FL; even at the panhandle where I'm at. So, that basically means I'll see the sports cars come out to play more often. Also, it's not exactly the middle of nowhere; it's just a town that a lot of people like driving around at.

Seriously, it can get crowded here sometimes; especially in the summer when tourists are around.

Indeed... missed spots (in addition to the tragically poor shot of the 510 wagon above) include TT-RS, P1800 (non-wagon), 997 Turbo cab, Z4 M coupe, '57 Bel Aire, and T-bucket hot rod (the last two are especially uncommon in SF, for some reason I don't see as many classic American cars here as I did in Cleveland...) And it turns out that the Huayra I saw yesterday is not the same one I saw at Cars and Coffee last week like i thought, so that's two different Huayras I've seen in SF! And I think the 996 turbo shot is my sharpest pan ever somehow, which is nice (check the original on Flickr, not bad for a crappy pocket digi...)

Swagger897 · Jan 12, 2015

Every time I say, "maybe I should bring my DSLR" and never do, I always see something... I couldn't get a good picture though because a cop started following me and I was in a rush.
