Soooo try it on something which *can* display the video? The clue in the original post was "Click it, it's a video". Not really sure what you are expecting as a response now, and your own reply to the original post came across as a little dismissive and flippant to be honest. Might have been worth looking into why you didn't get it first.

I don't have something to display the video.
 
still a $100K car, but not an AMG, just a regular SL with a badge somebody thought would make them look cooler... when in fact it makes them look lamer.

and for flickr, you have to join and then in the share drop down choose Grab HTML/BB code, select BB code at the bottom, make sure the size is not bigger than your pick, and not bigger than "large 1024". Then select all the code and copy and paste it to your post here.
 
I mostly use the iPod app version which doesn't have all those options. I've even tried from my computer and it showed up as an error.
 
Looks like a V8 Vantage!

Flickr pisses me off, I can never actually post a picture. But the four newest pictures are of a Porsche Panamera GTS and a Mercedes SL500 AMG. There was a new Boss 302 next to the Panamera but of course it left when we pulled in the lot.

And an XFR

Even though you guys most likely don't believe me when I post here, what I saw today was pretty cool. I saw a modern Corvette, nothing abnormal, but then, a mile down the road, saw a Corvette from 1960! Not much of a fan of classic muscle, but that is pretty weird, how close together I saw them. Maybe I should start bringing a camera with me where ever I go.
 
all rotten photos, dang phone camera... but a pretty nice day out!

two Fisker Karmas!! my first two outside of a dealership. Only one photo, though


GT-R!


Virage Volante, my first!


GranCabrio sport?


California! my second...


575M!


Viper SRT/10, 2nd gen?


R8 V10

dang it, 2nd time that's happened...:dunce: but I'm pretty sure they do indeed make a Virage Volante (at least according to wikipedia.)

I had no idea they made one either. I tell you what, I think it's just about the most gorgeous drop-top Aston has made in years.

I saw a strange Mini Cabrio yesterday. Only the back half of the roof was convertible ._. Don't have the picture though, it was just another short glimpse from a tram :<

Anyway, here's a decent-looking Italian combo - new Lancia Delta (it's an abomination to call this car by that name) and Fiat 695 Abarth Tributo Ferrari:

It's off topic but just wanted to add that minutes after taking the Impreza photo I saw ambulances and firetrucks passing by. Turns out there was a major crash at the early stages of the Sezoens Rally were the driver lost control over the car after a jump, crashing against a tree. Both driver and copilot died on the way to the hospital :(

Rip.

Sorry if it might have been the wrong place to put this.
 
That's sad. :nervous: They died doing what they loved... I hope they didn't feel all the pain..
Did a little search, they were 40 and 43 years old. And it also says there was an accident last year at the same exact spot...

That could be right, it is the first time that this really event had a serious injury or worse that I've heard of. It's a popular event with a large crowd every year with routes passing 5 minutes from my house.

5 years ago it even passed my street, that was a great time.

I was editing my post when I saw it was removed, you were a bit quicker
 
forgot a very nice Miata from yesterday. yeah, I know, cheap cars, but we all know they're awesome value and great handlers, so they're still good in my book, at least when they look nice. and this one was oh so fine, great wheels, very clean white. too bad my phone camera sucks, use your imagination:


and, found a few more goodies today!

Mas Coupe Spyder


exceptionally nice and clean old 'stang


Viper!


cars! (ignore the chrysler...)


GTC


YA GT, Bentley day for sure


um, yeah, that's another, last for today I swear


I'm just going to call it a V8 Vantage



found the yellow Z car I spotted last year, this time without the garage's owner scowling about. probably the best example I've ever seen.




Z4 M Coupe


another R8 V10? what's going on??


Buick Reatta. Pretty rare car, and brave for Buick at the time, 20+years old now... I know it's not great or anything, but most sporty body Buick ever made, I bet.


first 991 S


last Alfa saloon in USA, 164 L, Pininfarina styling with cues from the Testarossa! anybody know what the L means?



two in one action shot!! (over the shoulder backwards blind out the window, too!) and I know I'm being lazy but is that a Packard?


nice 2002


STaSIS S5!


996 turbo


not a bad day! also spotted an SLS and Viper ACR, but at a dealership... got to see the SLS get unloaded from the trailer, though, pretty cool.

Edit: dang it, saw a Chrysler 300 S today, was like, S? Turns out it's an SRT/8 with extras, only 1242 made...

Edit 2: um, hello? have been informed the blue GTC is a Speed. can anybody explain how to tell the diff? I can now ID R8 V8 vs V10 thanks to y'all, any help on this new subject would be appreciated!

According to netcarshow.com (awesome site with wallpapers, HIGHLY recommended!

"The Bentley Continental GTC Speed is visually distinguished by subtle design enhancements which emphasise its higher performance credentials. At the front, the radiator and lower air intake grilles feature a dark tinted matrix as standard. Larger diameter 9.5J x 20-inch, multi-spoke alloy wheels with Bentley-bespoke Pirelli PZero ultra-high performance (UHP) tyres, lowered and uprated suspension, wider twin-rifled exhaust tail pipes and a new boot-mounted lip spoiler that enhances high speed aerodynamics, reinforce the sporting character of the Speed model."

In other words - Speed has its grill painted more black than 'casual' GTC's silver ;)

Also - I was having difficulties differentiating the V10 R8... It's about carbon fibre mirrors and no indicators next to headlights, right?

Actually the 300S is any type of 300 (V6, V8s) with add ons, according to the salesman at the Chrysler dealership.

Maybe that, too, my easy way to tell is the back. See below, first is V8, has more fins in the yellow circle than the V10, which only has 2.

V8:


V10:


also, evidently the V10 has single pipes and the V8 doubles!
