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

How do you attack time in a car a foot off the ground?

Of course obviously it might actually have you know Coilovers which are adjustable? But yeah you obviously know your stuff driving around with a wonky eibach install on your car.

 

[YSSMAN]

VW Caddy

Yes!

I nearly bought one a while back when I had to replace my Fox (after the crash). I was looking at a Diesel one, oddly enough, the same color...

 

[Joey D]

That was probably the first one I have ever seen, I'm guessing they are quite rare in the states.

 

[Blackbird.]

I've seen very few of those in my lifetime.

 

[Tornado]

They are all over the place in the Northeast. As soon as you pass Maryland they virtually disappear.

Today...

We just hosted the Petit LeMans here at Road Atlanta near Braselton so presumably a few good cars have been out (I wouldn't know since I spent the weekend in North Carolina). This R34 Skyline GT-R V-Spec was parked at a Moe's Southwest Grille here in Atlanta. It had a Petit LeMans parking sticker and South Carolina license plates. Right-hand drive of course. More photos:

I'm no fanboy and I can't tell you too much about this car, but it's an incredible sight. Bergin claimed there were 'over a hundred' in the US, but based his information on the 'fact' that "Paul Walker has three". I'd bet there's only two digits in this country. A wonderful and very unexpected sighting.

Other stuff:

F430 Spider on Florida plates.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud.

Despite the license plate, I believe this is a replica - a real one would have collector plates. Another reason I believe it's a replica is because it's being driven... seen in North Carolina.

Doug you need to take me with you sometime. I never see anything as good as you. I must know your secrets.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

It's a VR/VS HSV Clubsport. Hard to tell without seeing more of the car though

VR i think it is.iirc the rear lights on the VS are joined up.

Tesco carpark became a car show near the end of my shift today. Orange Lambo Gallardo, two new Jag XK's were the highlights.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

Doug, can I live with you?
Just kidding. When I saw that pic of the GT-R and the Cobra, my jaw dropped. ​

 

[Slicks]

These are from the last little while... I had forgotten I had some of these on my phone!

Mercedes 190 SL?

Defender 90.

Capri, in very nice shape. Forget the trim level, but it was one of the higher ones.

Some new Aston. DB9, I think, but I can't be arsed to look it up.

CL55 AMG. Beautiful car.

 

[CDailey]

I saw this incredible Honda Odyssey today in the Applebees parkinglot. The license plate says HNDAMOM.

 

[ceiling_fan]

2 Elise's, one olive green, and one bright red. No pictures though...

Oh and a C3 Corvette. Gee willikers do those sound good.

 

[Casio]

List:
NSX (Shame about the so-so bodykit)

Absolutely ridiculously rare here, I wouldn't think they'd be more than 50 in the country and much, much less of this later model.

 

[UnoMOTO]

This weekend my wife had a women's only demo track day out at Las Vegas motor speedway. Let's review some of the highlights.

I'll start with the RENTAL...yes RENTAL car! A limted edition Dodge charger... and yes it's got a HEMI. I can't believe we didn't leave Vegas with a speeding ticket. This car just begged you to mash the throttle everywhere you went.



I could have taken plenty more pictures but I think my wife and friends would have gotten irked due to the countless exotics in this city but here are a few that I did get to snap off.



It wouldn't be me if I wasn't more interested in the bikes.

World Champ anyone?


New Busa...The first time I have seen one in person.


Some nice MV's


Some Duc's


Bimota?!?! REALLY rare to see in the US.


This was fun to see in person.


Las Vegas style BMW


And last but not least my wife and the focus of the weekend.

Don't you live in Cartersville? That's like forever away!

Doug, after some quick research:

Check that out. That Skyline you saw is owned by a guy who's name is pronounced "Leakin" and it has 700 horsepower.

On top of that:

Leakin is a racer.

 

[Speedster502]

I saw a lovely Lotus Elan the other day, my grandparent's say that they know the owner so they might try to arrange to let me
a) Have a ride
b) Take some photos of it

Its an beautiful car its also in such great nick, the owner really does take care of it and of course takes it for a spin everyday.

[crimson_menace]

They're not uncommon, but it's the first time I've seen a new impreza. Tell me, what's the difference? Impreza or Camry.

Oh, my bad. They looked too similiar.
