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

[poolhaas]

So, after two days of spotting, would you guys recommend I continue it?

Obviously

Followed by something that said BRABUS on it..

Is that an 730 hp Brabus Rocket? Also, cool M3 spot.

 

[Crumpet]

Not too sure what a BRABUS is, maybe someone here has more info on that car?

EDIT- Another of the 8C.

 

[poolhaas]

All I know is Brabus tunes Mercedes (and some other cars) for quite some time. I don't have any personal experiences with them

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Brabus is the largest tuner of Mercedes-Benzes (Apart from AMG) and is an affiliate of Daimler.

 

[RocZX]

Is that an 730 hp Brabus Rocket?

The Rocket has black emblems I think that's the Brabus CLS 55.

It's awesome to have your faculty 100 meters away from it

I'm pretty sure it's just called the Brabus CLS. It may be a CLS B63S judging by the black wheels though.

I've posted this beauty before but front view last time. Plus a few others.

Delta In the car park

Mustang in the car park

Aeromax. At Goodwood they have a ball/dance for the celebs. They park their cars opposite the house while they party. Took these as we were told to go. But there not part of the event.

Bentley Type-R i believe. Same story as the aeromax.

Bentley Continental S1. Dropping someone of for the ball.

Mercedes 600 Grosser

599 GTB Fiorano. Another one parked outside the ball.

My ultimate dream is seeing one of those.

I want to smack the owner of that GTR in the face so hard right now. That is a seriously bad stance for a car like that. Shake my head.

Let me just tell you something, you havent seen it in real life. That thing is BAD lookin. What about the stance don't you like?

EDIT: and the interior in awesome, I sat in it and parts of the steering wheel are like a wooded maroon color. Here's a close up of the engine

 

[poolhaas]

BTW, there's also an event and showroom thread

 

[mp10]

spotted this not too far from my house, think its a Porsche Cayman.

 

[Bom15]

yep thats a cayman. Another one from goodwoods car park

Aston Martin DB4

 

[Rue]

Wow! Some fantastic cars there. Love the Integrale and the M-Coupe especially. We have a designated thread for photos from events (and car parks at events), called the 'Did You See Anything Good Today: Event and Showroom Edition' where you can post these. Great pics!

 

[jeffgoddin]

When you back in HK, Rue?

And is it just me, or does that DB4 look like a Volvo?

But yeah, some great spots guys, really appreciated in the middle of the northern winter (I'm at 42 degrees north, so, yeah, sun only gets about 27 degrees above the horizon at its zenith these days...)

I saw an Audi R8 when I was driving to work out. My eyes seriously started watering, no joke.
This is what I felt like:
👍👎

Edit: Sorry, I don't have a picture of the R8. I was driving and it was going the other way on the road. I didn't have time to take a picture. But anyway, seeing an R8 is a big deal. Where I live it Lifted pick up trucks and exceedingly average sedans are the vehicles of choice. It is the 2nd Audi R8 I have ever seen.

Please post pictures next time. It's in the first post.

I feel so jaded right now. I'll pass up R8's on occasion without so much as a second glance if they are slightly out of the way. Shows how much I've been spotting.

 

[jeffgoddin]

I know how you feel, I come from a regular place, too, and I've been looking hard for these kinds of cars. The first one I saw I **** my pants, ignored that and gave chase to it, and found it parked where I deduced it might be, to my incredible satisfaction. Proceeded to **** all over it take pictures of it and look forward to the next one. I've seen about 4 in the last year, one a V10. Striking cars. Saw a couple Elises, about 4 Lambos, one a Murcielago, a few Astons (DB9's and DB9 Volantes), and maybe 5 Ferraris (aside from a fall caravan that I spotted which had over 20 that I don't quite count as legit in the wild spots.) Major highlights of my carspotting career. Porsches are too common to get very excited about except like the GT3's and GT2's (which I've seen a couple of each). NSX hells yeah, two for me. AMG, M series, and S series, dozens now, almost too common to shoot. A couple R35 GT-R's. One NISMO 370Z. About a dozen or so STI's and Evo's.

Edit: and yeah, Astrodude, I know you may be getting jaded with the supercars like I am with the M's, S's, and AMG's, but for most folks in America and around the world, and me before last year, seeing just one of the cars you've regularly posted is a once a year event or better.

 

[astrosdude91]

I was once there too. Often, I'll look back on my computer and view a photo album from like two years ago. They'll be about 10-15 pictures of a DB9 at a grocery store that I thought was the most amazing thing in the world to see. But now I won't even give these cars a second glance. Once I started really spotting on a regular basis, I noticed just how common some of these cars are. Though some of that excitement is starting to come back now that I don't go spotting as often. For a period from about mid 2010-mid 2011, I would take multiple spotting trips a week. Now though, I'll be lucky to get 3 in a month. So seeing those smaller spots is a nicer experience now that it isn't as frequent.

Anyways, on to what I came here for:

New Evoque:

Viper ACR at the karting track:

DB9 Volante:

996 GT2:

Carrera GT:

360 Spider:

Oh, sorry. I was driving and the R8 was on the other side of the road going the other direction. No time to take out my phone for a picture.

On the other hand, I did see this a while back at an intersection (long before I got on GTPlanet). Its a Pick up truck pulling what looks like a massive barrel of beer like its Oktoberfest or something. But this was in America.

Viper ACR at the karting track:

996 GT2:

those two are always nice!

Carrera GT:

OH YOU ****ER!!!! Now I gotta change my shorts. Carrera GT is on par with 300SL.

When you back in HK, Rue?

End of next week, Jeff.

[Picture of enginebay]

I don't like (super)cars built to drive on circuit, although driven daily, stanced for hard parking.

Oh and please don't do that, 'let me just tell you something', not a nice way to start your post..

 

[Murcie_LP640]

I agree with Carlos. Those wheels don't really look suitable for it either. I do like the anodised rocker cover though.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Yay! I have somethings to post again.

Toyota

Not too sure.

I think it's the Dart

Old Pick Up

Normal Hawk Eye, but it sounded awesome!

The best looking Saabs ever. Although I'd take a coupe.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Not too sure.

That's awesome, good job whoever did that!

 

[Antonisbob]

Not too sure.

That's an interesting setup they've got going on..

I saw a Buick Roadmaster wagon with woodgrain and a late '70s Malibu Wagon today.

 

[Dragonthing]

Nothing that spectacular, but I just realised that in our staff parking spaces there is a Ford Racing Puma, black Ford Probe and a black Ford Cougar V6...I like working here
