Saw a whole rally of Mustangs today including a classic Boss 302 and a few Roush 427s. I also saw a the new Chevy Camaro with a bodykit, the bumblebee stripes and the transformers autobot logos on the centre of the wheels.
It was pretty sic:)
 
I think I have put my finger on why it looks awkward. I think it's the way they have left the line at the base between the two wheels straight rather than give it a concave curve. What do you reckon...

Think what it really needs is 4 or 5 inches taken out of the wheel base between the front wheels and bottom of the screen:



It could also do with a less gormless looking front grill IMO. Always reminds me of Edgar the Bug from Men in Black.

Unfortunatly I just caught a glimpse of it before it passed me by and was unable to provide a picture for authentication (and my phone was dead anyways), but I happened to see an older '80s style Porsche 911 for about 2 seconds before it speed off. It was a nice shade of black. Sucks though as the guy was driving in the snow. I wish I could have got a pic, the guy was flying. Seeing any sports car like this in my area is an extremely rare sight. My heart shot up and I was like HOLY CRAP THAT'S A PORSCHE

Oh my! That's exactly what it looks like. Some kind of in joke at Pininfarina?!

When I do panning shots I often test the settings on a big light coloured MPV which usually happens to be an Estima/Previa, and the photos almost invariably comes out pin-sharp. Not complaining, they look very cool IMO...

I wish I had noticed it earlier, at one point it was in shot with a 993 Turbo, bright orange RS5 and a couple of other things. I only saw it when it was under me.
 
here's an idea for you, if you have a friend in the police who can look up license plates. contact the owners and offer to sell them matted prints.
 
Ha! I actually do have a friend in the traffic police...

Another couple from last night. Not trying to hijack the thread or anything, I just have a lot of pics and after the car-drought that was England I need to get my car fix...

This is pretty much what you'll see all over the place in HK. Taxis and Porsches...

Nice GT-T

This looks a bit too much like selective colouring which I try to avoid now. Don't really like the pic, it's too messy and pretty much a salvage job but the 550 is probably my favourite contemporary F-car so it goes here...

Interesting what else you can come across in the middle of this city when you're out looking for cars...

OK, that's me done for the weekend. Kung Hei Fat Choi from China!

That really is a sweet looking Supra. And the colour combination on that R8 is pretty weird in my opinion :)

Here's what I can show the last days, I have a few more but the photos are so bad even I can't see what it was anymore :lol:

Older Audi S8 (camera thought raindrops were best to focus on)


Porsche Carrera 4


Porsche Carrera 4S
 
 
I saw an FF too yesterday, just a dealership :indiff:.

New CRV. I didn't know they were already out, but here's the picture anyway.

With the 7-speed manual (:

Second one i've seen on the road. They look great! Definitely a lot more "super" car than the 997 series.
 
Nice new 911 - do they want to squeeze any more letters on the back of it?!

IcyJ, were they yesterday? All I heard was the sound of Ferraris and Lambos going past my office and on the couple of occassions I went to my window I saw 599s, Californias and a Diablo Roadster. Hoping the trend continues today...
 
@ Rue

I don't think its a gts. Front bumpers slightly different. maybe different wing mirrors but i can't see from the angle you took the photo. Also both GTS's i've seen have had big, race style spoilers. Still its very nice. unlike the FF. The problem with it for me is the whole back end. front looks good.
