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

[ExigeEvan]

Ar, I saw these VW vans on the motorway near Peterborough, as I said in the post, there must've been a gathering of retro cars or something around that area.

Ah my mistake for not reading it, I was too content with the pretty pictures

We also saw a Vauxhall VXR8, but we couldn't shoot it in time, otherwise we'd have all the 3 VXRs in 1 day!

You missed one..

VXR8
VXR Astra
VXR Corsa
VXR Vectra

Although in its top gear test it was terribly prone to understeer...

 

[Venari]

And arguably, VX220/VX220T.

TVR Tuscan Speed-6

Thanks for viewing, all comments welcome!

I almost became severely dead at that roundabout in a Vauxhall Calibra once.

Today.


I hope its a real BMW M3 this time.

 

[TopHat]

It looks to be. 👍

By the looks of it, its real! But E46 is no longer rare to see on the road these days, the M3 you need to look out for is the E92!

 

[Alex.]

Tyres arent low profile enough, lower priced BMW wheels.

tough one

 

[Rue]

Definate M3. That 5-Series estate is rarer innit?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Definate M3

Yep, the M3 did come with those wheels.

 

[Alex.]

As promised:


And one from my college's front carpark, last month (which it shares with various 360 GTC running teams )

 

[Sage]

WWhat you have there is one of the 99 Aston Martin DB AR1s. The 'American Roadster'.

Oh, wow, you’re right (I didn’t even know about the existence of that car). Cool!

Those are far from a lower priced BMW wheel. Those are the standard rims, and the only ups from them on the M3 line are the standard rims in Chrome or Competition rims. The ones in the picture though, are just dirty.

Thanks for the informatios guys.👍
My first real M3.

If I knew that that car was rare,then I took a picture of it.

Went to the Foxborough Ferrari-Maserati Dealership real quick on Friday. Here's the main highlights.



Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale


Ferrari 575M Maranello -2 of these here, other was red


Lamborghini Murcielago, not an LP640 though


God-awful Viper, saw this p.o.s. on eBay the same day for $33,000.



And the best one there was a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. There was actually 2 of them there, 1 was inside the actual showroom. For real. Both in red

Haha, what are the chances, so you lived near Peterborough once when you were back in the UK?

Those rims come in an alternative size too, i presume, for more dollar..

Standard M3 rims:

Larger, and slightly different rims:

Got a ride in that blue one a few years ago, damn nice it was, really comfy and fast too!

DB7 convertible with, I guess, an aftermarket Zagato-look-alike grille. Actually, it’s a fairly rare Aston Martin DB AR1 (thanks, Venari!).

Holy **** - incredible. Only in California!! Thanks for the photo Sage!!!

 

[Famine]

See if anyone can guess what's special about this car (other than "ZOMG! ATOM!"). It's not that it's a 300 - though it is...

 

[TheCracker]

Is it the new Ariel Atom with revised chassis/frame giving better elbow room?

 

[Famine]

It's an Atom 3. So yes.

18 month waiting list on these buggers, so you're not likely to see many about - even in relation to how many Atoms you're likely to see about.

 

[Serge.D]

Today.

 

[Sage]

Holy **** - incredible. Only in California!! Thanks for the photo Sage!!!

Grazie.

[Alex.]

Ah. I got word back from my friend, and due to the current exchange rates, he didn't get it. Instead, he's going for a full carbon fibre Roadster from Asia.

Oh Awesome. The Full carbon costs more then paint because they have to get the weave perfectly symetrical. 👍


On another point, are there alot of exotics to be seen in the los angeles area? I've seen loads of pics from Calabasas and the surrounding area, so when I fly into to LA in July I'll give them a look 👍

 

[Casio]

Not super rare. But I liked it.

Besides Florida, LA is like the exotic car capital of the US. Seriously, Porsches & Ferraris are the equivalents of RX-8s and 350Zs. There are dozens around.

Yesterday evening.

....and SF... I have spent many vacations in the SD and LA area and SF is just as good if not better.

Either way your promised good spots pretty much anywhere near a City in Ca.

 

[homeforsummer]

Saw a few nice cars today, a red Ferrari 355 and a dark blue '60s Porsche 911.

I'll make sure I take pictures next time though...
