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

[Aerocoupe]

Nothing terribly interesting, but I thought these were pretty cool spots anyway.

First gen W-body Bonnevilles are rare enough on their own, let alone this SSE version with it's unique wheels and cladding. It even looks like it hasn't fallen victim to the usual Wisconsin corrosion yet either. Even the paint looks like it doesn't have any noticeble blemishes.

And just today there was this, an earlier example of a U-body van (I could tell because of the split grille and the lack of an airbag), in this case an Oldsmobile Silhoutte. I always kinda liked the funky shape these things had, and that they used the same resin body panels the old Saturns and Fieros did. It also has that very period correct striping around the mid-section which I approve of. (And yes, I do realize I ignored a Firebird and took pictures of a stupid old van ).

You get me. Those are both very cool spots you hardly ever see outside of a wrecking yard any more.

One question: Do cars and Coffee, car shows and other car related events count?

Like this Countach, Dodge Viper R/T 10 or Tesla Model X?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Cars and coffees go in the event thread because it’s a organized show.

I've been waiting years to see one of these! A new London Taxi LEVC TX parked up on a side street. Hopefully they will replace the thousands of diesel TX4's currently in service. Honestly, walking past a long Taxi queue full of TX4's with their engines running idle is like walking through a gas chamber. They're unlike any diesel vehicle I know of... I literally need to hold my breath everytime I walk behind one. This TX looks surprisingly good in person. And it's enormous compared to the TX4!

I sadly missed a Merc Mclaren SLR, still....here's the rest:

Somewhere near the US Navel Base, i spotted a Dodge Viper from Saudi Arabia.

Old Toyota Corolla with old Saudi Arabia license Plates. Perhaps the one of the only surviving 70's middle eastern spec cars?

Chevy SSR truck.

Quite rare to see some classic air cooled Porsche 911 and 944(?) over here.

First time seeing an Z8 in my life.

Classic Bel Air being transported.

Abarth?

Also an Evo
