^Does it not know it's a Magnum? The Magnums are basically 300s with a thing on the back though. I've not seen an SRT8 Magnum, only the R/Ts. The Challenger and Charger and 300 SRT8s are more common here.
 
^ In Euro-land its a 300. Sure us people here in the US calls it a Magnum, but the 300 Touring is somewhat significantly different (interior, seats, features, etc). Other than its front end, have you taken a glimpse of the 300-T's rear bumper? That is not available in the US.

300C Touring SRT-8

Magnum SRT-8

^ In fact I personally like the Euro-specs rear compared to the plain US-specs. It has that Jeep SRT-8 touch to it.

The car is actually a Chrysler 300 SRT-8 wagon. In Europe it is your American Dodge Magnum with a 300C nose.

I always question the legitimacy of cars that don't look original. Its obviously not your fault, but I'd just like to point out that I don't believe it's an S6.

If I'm right, that's just a C6 A6 S-Line (judging by the wheels) also the fact that the badge is on the wrong side... The exhausts are aftermarket as I know the normal ones are quad, but here's what a normal S6 looks like:

Edit: Also, the car in question doesn't have a V10 badge on the front quarter panel underneath the indicator/repeater.
 
A new car has entered the area! Just a week ago the black Veyron went back down South, this has just come up North. I'm familiar with this plate.

[Not my picture] I should have one over the next few days to post.
 
Someone I know has just got a classic E-Type hopefully I'll be able to get some pics! His new neighbors also MAY have a McLaren :lol: Fingers crossed.
 
Some recent ones from my phone:

BRG V8 Vantage:

At my friends building, an F430 Spider:

SAAB 9-5 Aero, also at my friends building. These are pretty rare, since SAAB only produced them for barely a year before going under:

Maserati Gran Turismo at the outlet mall. You're never too rich to enjoy saving money:

Viper


Chevy

Ford

Yes! And absolutely stock it seems, which is kind of a miracle with those cars in these times. Awesome.

You need to look for more stuff like this, Kamui.

Good eye mate 👍

I always get fooled by badges, it was the first of these I've seen on the road and didn't look further than the S badge. Those exhausts are pretty weird for a regular A6 though.
 
kind of a fun day. oddities and rural yard spots as I went about my business.

nice van


rotten self-done paint job, but something's going on with this jetta(?). front suspension dropped, rear lifted, like this guy is trying to intentionally induce oversteer at the limit.


I'd like to get in this guy's barn. And not sure what exactly, but something from the 30's?


F100


and finally, rotten shot, but I've got a woody for you guys. AMC Concord.
 
Most likely will be ignored because I don't have any pictures but...here goes. :nervous: Spotted a Subaru BRZ on a transport truck, hopefully to my nearest Subaru dealership. :dopey: And even a white Isuzu VehiCross. Which I looked it up and only two white VehiCross's exist in the US. :eek: Just angry I never got a picture of them... :(

How do you know the 550 isn't a replica? I'm just curious - it's such a rare and beautiful car.

because if it was real they would not put those Fuch wheels, plus the offset is wrong and the tires are wrong. Color is total fail. A car of that vintage and value would be restored to mostly factory specs and if it was a real vintage race car it would still not use those type if rims. :dopey:

If you knock on the body panels it is probably made of fiberglass and not aluminium.

A couple of days ago I was eating at a restaurant in a Toyota Dealership and saw a Grey Scion FR-S pull up. Today I came back and found it in front of the dealership, not on the showroom floor like I expected.
 
Guys, pics, come on. By all means start a DYSAGT but no pics thread, but this is an awesome thread because it is pics only. I didn't get this at first but I really do now. And unfortunately it makes the sightings read as kinda feeble and redundant when surrounded by generally awesome pics.

It's a losing battle. Apparently people can't grasp simple concepts.
 
There is a silver GT-R NÜR edition that trolls around Ames. Almost got a picture once. Saw it twice... Next time, I hope.
 
Ford GT, some guy just up the road from me has one. Midnight Blue with white stripes. Going to try and see if he'd allow me to do a photoshoot with his car sometime soon :)
