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

Apologies for the mega-long post. This was about 4 hours in total on the same footbridge, and not even including all the M3's, Maseratis, etc...

AMG Mercedes CLK-GTR

HOLMFZOMGWTFOIFGHHFJSVHDVSJCDJS Insane spot! I've always wanted to see one of those

Also, the way odd Saab stattion wag in last page is epic. Never seen one before!

Yeah, I have no idea what it is, except it's a Saab. I see it fairly regularly though.

 

[Alex.]

Holy Bugger. Spot of the thread with the CLK-GTR. Wow.

Your not the only guy fascinated by such an amazing car, looking at the dude in the picture.

That's probably Rue getting a close up

 

[Rue]

WTF?!?! That's amazing. Wasn't sure if that CLK GTR was even still in HK let alone getting used on the road. Stupendous...

Haha!

 

[Tyger]

my first Merkur, as far as I'm aware, XR4Ti, though I probably wouldn't have recognized one before NISMO I think spotted one a while back. Note, this is a LUXURY sports hatchback. From the shortest lived luxury marque in US history...

That was marketed in Europe as the Ford Sierra XR4i (although not sure if the spec is the same) and was relatively common back in the day, but not so much now. Pretty quick, there was a 4WD version too, but the daddy of them all was the Sierra Cosworth RS500, now that was a pretty fast car.

I wonder if that's my mom's old one. Remember it from my childhood when it was new. In Ohio, too.

If you can believe it ive seen one of these beasts being sold on eBay motors...

 

[Rue]

I'm just going to post again regarding that CLK GTR... Damn...

 

[Carlos]

If you can believe it ive seen one of these beasts being sold on eBay motors...

There are 2 for sale here in Germany. Both for just under a milion Euro's. Plus minus 1,3milion USD. I rather buy one of those over a Veyron, anyday. That car is pure sex!!!

 

[Crumpet]

Plus, it will most likely be worth more than the Veyron in the future, due to the limited production number of 25.

 

[Tyger]

Apparently they are pretty hard work to drive though, were never designed as a road car of course.

 

[Brett]

Very cool spot! 👍

You know, I'm really liking this 'stand on footbridges for several hours taking pictures' thing

HOLLY.
FREAKING.
HELL.

Well now this has got to be one of the top spots of this freaking thread EVER AND EVER, right there with the McLaren F1, the Duesenberg, the Maserati MC12 and such stuff. IMPRESSIVE.

The 348 with bronze wheels also looks cool!

It's quite addictive isn't it? It's like playing Pokemon or something. Gotta catch 'em all. I'm going to that spot after work today... Bet I won't see anything. I keep hearing Ferraris going by my office window though.

 

[Dac_Xint]

I was up on the footbridges yesterday late afternoon in Wanchai, saw a few things but never in my dreams could I prepare myself for the CLK GTR... IcyJ you da man

I would imagine it's like fishing. Rue, where would you recommend I could do that in sunny Bristol?

(at least I think it was you who said you lived here for a while)

 

[Rue]

Yes, I did... Er, haha that's a tough one. Bottom of Park Street? Saw an F40 and Diablo down there a couple of times... It's not really a hot-bed of supercars is it?

 

[Dac_Xint]

[SkateNj]

Yesterday i saw a VW Karmenn Ghia, Rolls Royce Phantom, Really awesome model-t rat rod,and a triumph tr6 pretty awesome day of cars

 

[Rue]

Welcome to the thread, SkateNj. We've had a right brouhaha with people posting claims to what they have seen but no pictures to back it up and it has become a somewhat sensitive and dividing subject in the thread. The basic rule is that if you've come here to tell us about something you've seen, you need to supply an accompanying picture that you took. Hope this helps, we're looking forward to your pictures... Hope you enjoy ours!

A couple more from today from me...

I only like matte black on a few cars, this is one of them.

 

[zippy_the_cat]

Ferrari 430:

Owned by a gentleman from Burlington, NC, who'd accompanied his wife on a shopping expedition into my town. Said they don't take it out all that much but hope to get up to VIR for a track day before cold weather sets in. Car is in immaculate condition.

Thought these were limited to the UK? Probably easy to import becaus it's RHD but still..

Just awesome. I was lucky enough to see a Daytona Spider when I was a kid, not seen a Daytona since, at a museum or show, nada.

Random fact - The black Daytona Spider in Miami Vice wasn't the real deal - it was a replica.

Rue - Was kinda kidding about Bristol, though I see a few nice things around my way (Westbury) and Clifton. A lot of old stuff I will post here soon, I just need to sort my pics but I have a week off now so no excuses

Yeah, I thought you were but after a long Sunday at work someone forgot to flip my sense-of-humour switch back on. Definitely post some older stuff. I'm happy seeing random cars from the 70's and 80's too. Looking forward to your pics, I can try and guess where they were taken from the backgrounds too
