I thought the other red thing was a Reliant Scimitar, but it isn't, so I really don't know. I'm sure I've seen the car somewhere but I can't put my finger on what the hell it is. It's british, I'm sure of that.

Surely it's a Lotus Eclat...

Another shot of that rather nice two-tone 458:

Some people would be interested with one of my finds.

Hummer H3




BMW 740Li




VW Corrado


Land Rover Defender

..with, what appeared to be, a UK or HK license plate.

Was on 280 today hoping to see some nice cars but all I got was a CTSV...

That's the one I picked, too. Had an old Scirroco (only the 2nd I've seen in recent years) go by me twice yesterday, but getting pics of high speed opposite direction 2 lane traffic is tough, have to be prepared from a distance, wait 'til the last second, and even then it's probably going to be blurry.

And Rue is close, it's the Elite I posted last year. Still gradually being returned to proper working order. All parts have to be custom machined I'd guess.

And yay! I guessed '37 to myself. Looked sweet from the front, too. And I know Cano's just hating on the wheels! (he's got a foot fetish, too):lol:

I want to say this is a Dodge Magnum wagon with a 300 front end conversion. You can barely make out the shape, but if you look at the interior you can make out the rear window in the cargo bay. Still a good looking car. I would totally buy a 300 wagon.

No, that is how they came from the factory. The 300 wagon was available internationally, but not in the US; it isn't a conversion.
 
like the look of this front end. didn't bother/care to check behind and see what it is. got home and tried to look it up, like 2013 S-Class? 2012 S65 AMG? Couldn't figure it out, but did confirm that this is not common. any ideas?


and a new Ferrari for me, F355 Spider

It's the all-new W218 CLS550 ;)

But it's a left hand drive and there's a US plate under the spare wheel :odd:

That's a Filipino plate. I think the other one is a Hong Kong plate and not a UK one. Ignore that last statement, I didn't see that it was LHD.
 
Time for another Country / City post. I went spotting in stupidly heavy rain this morning. It calmed down in the Afternoon, but there was nothing too great out.

S63 AMG

Judging by the exhaust tips, that's an S65 (Bridged quad is found on the x65 models, while the separated quad is found on the x63 models).

Why someone would debadge an S65 though... I have no idea... :irked:

which is why I always question debadged cars (no matter how legitimate they look) until I can see under the hood.

Nice spot regardless, I always love seeing well-equipped W220 and W221s :)👍.

EDIT: It's starting to not look like an AMG at all... Something about that diffuser...

EDIT 2: Call me crazy, but I'm going with S420 CDI... The AMG logo was definitely added by the owner (the G is supposed to hang off the edge of the chrome line below it; it isn't lined up properly). That bumper also doesn't quite match the S65, I think it's aftermarket. The only thing that might be really AMG are the exhaust tips... How did it sound when it was driving?

If I recall correctly, you posted another debadged diesel S-Class earlier in this thread with the same conversion... it must be popular in Belgium :boggled:.

There was also the V8 Biturbo badge on the side, the main reasen I went for that name :dopey:. But that could have been added there aswell, I'll remove the name because I think you're right.

I did indeed, that one didn't have any badges, only the quad exhaust was different.

V8 BiTurbo definitely makes it an S63, but those exhaust tips make it an S65 :lol:.

While I don't condone debadging/rebadging cars, they sure make identifying a car much more fun :D.
 
followed a Mustang for a couple blocks, only to decide that "Boss" was just a sticker on a regular GT...

in other news, was wondering recently if I'd ever see one of these, surprise, SW20! :)


360 spider



and, these need no introduction, out back at a garage after being freshly washed:







SVT Lightning


80 series b3/b4 coupe, don't see these, and sounded nice. too bad a fat bastard was at the wheel...


alfa spider, but the rear end threw me off, looked like 164... that's because I've never seen the final gen spider before, nice little roadster!
 
hee hee, yeah, freaking awesome to see these two! And the guy out doing the detailing said, hard to believe, that these exact cars were used in Redline (Carrera GT) and Fast Five (GTR)...
 
Duuude, you killed it!!! These two monsters look just epic next to each other :drool:

My most recent spots:

Fiat 126p, one of my favourite little cars :D I couldn't believe in how good condition it was:

2012-05-28-273.jpg


Matte green-brownish BMW 6 Series. I had a hard time, looking from afar, telling whether it's so damn dirty or just matte:

Renault Megane RS, 25 meters away from this 6 Series (unfortunately, I was too lazy to get a better shot) :

2012-05-29-280.jpg


Fiat 125p, not the best condition though:
2012-05-31-281.jpg


2012-05-31-282.jpg


Definitely nice 997 Turbo (I was a bit surprised to see it with those connected exhaust pipes. Anything special about this ride?) :
2012-05-31-285.jpg


Finally shoot a Bentley Arnage in Warsaw (every time I see one I either don't have a good shot or pull my phone out too late) :
2012-06-01-286.jpg


BMW M6 (looks better in burgundy red IMO. Still, dat blue...):
