I'm so angry with myself. I saw this absolutely beautiful silver Ferrari (at least I'm pretty sure it was a Ferrari) from around the 60's. The camera was in my girlfriend's bag and by the time we managed to get it out the car had driven away. A once in a lifetime spot for sure. :(

Other cars I did managed to get the camera out for:

Fiat

Love those Fiats (124/2000 Spider)

The Triumph is a Herald, or possibly a Vitesse, hard to tell from the back. Also nice though, very popular classics in the UK.
 
I'm still no idea how a car could be based on something as ridiculous as a baseball cap worn backwards. Still, the effect is quite nice I think.

So today i took the wife and kids to an amusement park , cruising on the motorway , i see this thing popping up .
Imidiatly started shouting to my wife she needs to get the camare :p , she took about 15 pictures only 3 we're focusd :ouch::mad: ....

Towards sunset I stumbled across one of my all-time favorites, a 575M.

And just as I took my camera out the owner sped off in this MP4-12C, first one I've seen. It's quite very much as meh as in photos, even in this violent orange colour.

Carlsson CK 63

The Calsson CK63 is a tuned C63 (and the CK63 RS, a tuned CLS63); That looks like a normal R63 AMG to me.

Though normal is certainly an understatement, they're quite rare.
500+HP and 4WD, they were sold only for a year (2006-2007 I believe) since most buyers of the R-Class were more into fuel economy and transportation... not performance.

Nice spot :)👍

Do you have any shots of the back? I don't see any body work (rear diffuser, side skirts) or badges (Carlsson puts their company name where the Benz model name would go) that suggest it was modified by Carlsson...

Carlsson did have a small tuning package for the M156 (known as the CK63 Performance Kit) at one point, but it only consisted of a carbon engine cover and some sport air filters... Maybe that's what the owner meant?

EDIT: Looks like the Performance Kit did come with chrome insignias. That explains the CK63 badges 👍

I see.

Here's another shot of it anyway, taken the night before.

A nice spot, regardless. I always love seeing R63s :).

I think it looks pretty badass, and I'm not that into Mercs.

Is it "genuine" though? Or has the guy just slapped on the insignias?

Only way to tell is if you open the hood and check the engine cover. I found it strange that the CK63 badge was on the left and the Carlsson badge was on the right (usually it's switched).

If I had to guess, I'd say it's genuine (an R63 with the CK63 Performance Kit).

What the kit comes with:
Carbon engine cover
ECU tune
Top speed delimiter
Sport air filters
Carlsson insignias

Indeed , it was a holy 🤬 moment ... shame i will never know what engine it was running . I have seen / heard a lot of awesome cars ( i used to be a long distance truckdriver accross europe so one does get around ) but the sound coming out of this one was so pure it was just giving me goosebumps :D
