[Carlos]

It is a stock 430, the exhaust on the Scuderia comes out in a different place. Somebody most likely just put those decals on the car.

 

[Heldenzeit]

The carbon piece is called a Challenge Grille and is aftermarket. They run about 2k USD.

That's not what I ment.

This is what I ment. 2k USD?? That's pretty expensive for a small carbon piece of uglyness. Only fit's on a Scud imho.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Yeah, the grille is expensive, but the side sheilds are a $3500 option from the factory. The fenders are indented so the sheild sits lower. Its not just a tack-on item.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Quite some impressive posts from the US and the Honkong People that are in Europe.

Here is mine

BMW Z8

While I was taking the pictures this Mercedes 55SL AMG passed by.

Just next to this this Toyota 4x4 that looked like a garbage bin inside (and outside):

Last week I saw this Renault Clio going back to home from work:

Wednesday, Luxembourgish national holiday, I went chasing for a car in a better neighboughood, did not find it, but got this better Luxembourgish area image with a Corvette C5.

and this 4 exhausts Mercedes C:

an old Nissan GTR with Nismo wing:

This Audi S4 parked in front of me one day coming back from shopping:

same day Chevrolet Camaro SS, first Camaro I see on the road:

This bunch of Mercedes' seem to be driven by the girls working in a small store/petrol station:

At lunch one day VW Scirocco R, while trying to get to the car below that:

A few days ago at lunch the Porsche Carrera GT was being unloaded again:

The carbon piece is called a Challenge Grille and is aftermarket. They run about 2k USD.

It's actually a factory option available at an additional $2,800.

Saw these today.

 

[Giygas]

I wish I had a camera with me...

Somewhere near where i lived, there was this sort of Italian car event or something to celebrate Alfa Romeo's 100 year anniversary, and we ran into a couple of rare cars when we came home;

2 Alfa Gta 1600s (or the same one twice, all the cars we saw were on the other side of the highway)

4 Alfa Duettos

3 Maseratis

and one Ferrari, a Rosso Corsa 430 16M. The highlight of my day.

[Sharky.]

Walked past a nice white 964 Carrera 4 Targa in the mall carpark today; was about to take a photo or two for this thread when the owner came out of a shop and started loading stuff into the back seats, blowing my chance to get a pic or two

Long-overdue update for you guys. Not much photography in the past few weeks, just some random snaps. There seems to be less cars out there that previous summers and the exotics I do see are places I've already shot and shared here. I also like biking for the sake of biking instead of biking for the sake of shooting. Here's a couple selections from the summer so far:

aaaaah what an awesome post. Can I have big ones of the Karmann, the Puma (amazing spot!!! and no, you wont be seeing any of those for a real while) and the incredible tiny Alfa? Big BIG ones please? (:

I miss your stuff (and your city) so much. Awesome Porsche picture, and I really like the ones of the Puma too. The Murcielago picture is pretty intresting.


EDIT: OMG THE 300SL. You are becoming the top spotter here Nismo. easy. Awesome stuff, the 68 Firebird and the old derelict Cadoo are awesome.

 

[astrosdude91]

fantastic post Nismo! I went to California last year for a graduation trip. I can testify that there are loads of exotics! But, I made the tragic mistake of car spotting way too much. I never just stopped and enjoyed the vacation. Honestly though, I saw maybe slightly more than a good weekend in Houston.

Yea man, I was a little upset I missed the Carrera, but as soon a the 300 passed I was fine. I have a few more coming later tonight, I think one will really stand out for you.

I did the same thing a few years ago for a band trip. We only had one day of tours, but I saw so many good cars. Now that I think back I can't believe some of the cars I missed.

Spot of the night goes to........................

Mercedes SLS, yay for seeing two gullwing cars within a day and half.

 

[ND4SPD]

That SLS looks stunning. Is that a gold stripe going down it as well?

 

[TheCracker]

1098 yea?

Your 1098 is a one of 500 in the US Ducati Desmosedici RR. It's the one based on the MotoGP bike 👍

$72,500 in 2008!

 

[Neal]

^ arguably the greatest road legal bike ever put into production! Is Eddie Jordan riding it?!?!

 

[Rue]

That Duke is super-cool. I think I have seen a couple in HK but never knew how rare or valuable they were.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

That SLS looks stunning. Is that a gold stripe going down it as well?

Yep, i sure did.I think the front arrows were gold aswell. Not the best look for it, but it wasn't too bad 👍.

I looked it up last night after I posted. That makes it even cooler now. I almosted missed it, but it'd looked too cool to not not shoot. Plus it's a Ducati.

^ arguably the greatest road legal bike ever put into production! Is Eddie Jordan riding it?!?!

It sure sounded good. I looked up Eddie Jordon, and WOW it looks a lot like him. I didn't see anything about him in LA, but he seems like the kind of person that would know and have a Desmosedici though. It'd be pretty cool if I got a cool bike spot and person spot at once.

 

[Rue]

Some spots fromt the last week or so. Wiltshire and Surrey...

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Sorry Rue, I noticed I made it go to another page after you posted. I was just about to add something and say you had some too. I really like that Lotus though.

That's a Ron Fellows Z06, 1 of 399...nice spot! Also, that Zonda billboard is awesome, I want it in my living room!

 

[exigeracer]

The Ron Fellows edition I saw didn't have the signature, and this one doesn't have the red stripes over the front wheels either. Not that I'm an expert, nor do I care either way, but just pointing out some differences...
