No, I do not have a picture it was 1:30am after working 12+hrs and couldn't be bothered to pull out my phone and fiddle with the thing. Plus not sure where else to post this but it was kind of funny. I was on my way home from work in an area I always pass not an especially wealthy area and what do I get a glimpse of pulling into a strip mall? My first Aventador. I was so shocked I quickly pulled into the turn lane instead of going straight like I usually do. Then I'm in the strip mall parking lot looking for it and I can't find it. The only place open is McDonald's but surely someone driving a $400k supercar at 1:30 in the morning isn't getting a Big Mac? Oh yes they were! I really wish I did get a picture just for the comic factor because I as I was driving off to get on the freeway there I see it at the pickup window receiving their food the car much lower then the window itself. :lol:

Sounds like you know, we generally require pics... unless it's just a good story. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I am saying I don't care whether or not you really saw an Aventador, because that was a good story, thanks for sharing!

Edit: wow great post GTMail!

and, I got a few today, too. So far anyway...

Bonneville, look at those headlights!


Mazdaspeed


Quattroporte... Sport GT/GTS?


GranCab


Rrrrran... chero!


Cali!

no, not really... at least not in the wild. Went to my first Cars & Coffee event today, pics in the other thread soon, but couldn't resist dropping this here.

Bought a new toy today, and tried it out on these two I spotted on the way home: a Ferrari 550 and a Dutch registered Lancia Thesis, which was never sold in the UK.








- Photobucket might straighten this up at some point...


- kit lens to finish.
 
One needs to be careful not to abuse the fisheye... 15mm?

and a couple more from delivering tonight

Ghost! saw this bugger last fall once but was too slow. every day I've driven down that road since, I've had camera in hand to be ready (it's only about a mile stretch between a highway and a big park.) today was the day that it paid off.

I know. They should really come with 'To be used sparingly' stamped on them somewhere. It's 10.5mm, but on a Nikon DX sensor, so on a full frame that would be ~16mm.
 
Can't tell what's on the back, 180 or 190 SL?

Some cool little rat rod type of thing.

Not sure.

I'm in the back and all I hear is:

Sister: "Hun, let the Aston go-"
BF: "I'm gonna race him. (steps on the gas)"
Sister: "Let the Aston go! You can't beat an Aston!"

Car's a 2.0 Genesis. :lol:
 
A yellow Ferrari 360 Modena all the way in the back (I can't even see it, try to find it though)
