Not a great picture, the guy was just about to get in the car but it's not every day you see a Micra!

AWESOME MICRA! On a boring side note, I saw a rod very similar to that one a few days ago in Bristol, sounded nice, loud sound system too (no kudos points necessarily but it seemed fitting), could be different of course but such rods aren't exactly commonplace on the scepter'd isle :)
 
One other reason why I think it's a GT is that I don't think anyone would be that stupid to try to use a V6 and replicate a GT from it. That's the most pointless alteration you could do to a mustang.
 
BTW, my recent spots:

Toyota Altezza with "sticker bombing" on the fender (rumpled? :confused:) and a "Hello Kitty" sticker. :crazy:

GAZ 21 Volga (3rd series, "Baleen grill") in average condition. I suppose the model is 21R (1965-70). I love the Twenty-One being painted in two tones, but this paintjob is a bit wrong (tone borders look wrong in some spots).

Nicely tuned Toyota Celica T231.

Porsche Boxster S and Toyota MR-S. I like the wheels of this Boxster :)

The Intrepid is one of the most common American '90s sedans in Russia, along with the Stratus, Avenger (coupe, but similar), Chrysler Concorde, Chevy Lumina, Cavalier, Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable. They were imported unofficially, so they have narrow plate holders (American format) and MPH speedometers. They're not very common there nowadays, but I don't consider them worth shooting and posting in this thread.

Full-size sedans like Caprice of Crown Victoria are much rarer, and I take photos of them if I spot some, but don't post them there, because I think you won't consider them interesting...

...and now I know! They're obviously still quite common in the US, but I had no idea they were available that far west. Thanks.
 
I think he's flipping the birdie on the Boxster driver. ;)

Look at the guys face. He is definitely looking towards the person with the Camera, not the guy in the Porsche.
 
He gotcha! That's so funny! :lol:

bad weather day...

Dart! And if anybody is looking for a project Dart, I just stopped to ask for directions but thought I'd let the guy know I liked his Dart, he's thinking he should sell it since he's realizing he's got one project too many. Near Akron, OH. Hall's Auto Service, (330) 688-9512.


Then this! I've never seen an E23 7-Series before! Freemason and Shriner badges all over it, if you were wondering.

I like that orange golf gti beside it. Are you in ocean city?
 
The best wild spots are the ones you don't have to go much out of your way for. This one was about 10 feet out of my way, doesn't get any better than that. The Golf? Annoyingly, it's one of my friend's cars!

And, in case you missed the clues, I'm in Ohio (enojado, funny for me), not NJ or TX...
 
Some "okay-ish good" and a rare find.

Ford Focus ST


Subaru Impreza


Fiat 500 Abarth (white)


Opel Kadett C Aero - built only between 1977 and 1978 - you`ll barely see one nowadays. "H" at the end of a German plate says: "I´m an oldtimer."
 
Please read the entire first post. Thanks.

Sorry about that. I have a picture of a really cool old car, but I'm on the mobile app so I couldn't post it. I just went and said a 240sx because I remember seeing one.
 
I'm pretty sure this guy in the MR-S is flipping you off.

:D Didn't notice that. :lol:
But I'm not sure he was looking at me, I wasn't attracting attention when I shot it.

@ Monatsende
Nice Kadett 👍, but are you sure this Impreza is good? It's not even STi, just a WRX, I see loads of such Imprezas every day.
 
If you don't have any pictures, then don't claim that you saw it. Simple as that. If you have a really good story, then that's different, but no one wants to read "i saw 911 and another 1 next 2 eachother @ the lightes but when i tried to take a pic they went away so no pic."

Kept up with this guy through the pouring rain in our 7 series on Monday out in middle of know where Texas, pretty freaking sketchy....

The Subaru really is discussible. I felt like, okay, my dear Impreza... Took the Ford ST a minute before and thought it would be a nice couple. Yes, unfortunately it`s not a STi...
 
Just uploaded my walk around videos of a 2cv and 2 Lamborghinis at a car show in Quebec, my channel link is in my signature.

I feel that WRX's and STi's fall into the same "Good" category, both have there advantages and disadvantages depending on your goals. Just because you see them everyday doesn't mean they aren't good, go drive around Beverly Hills by that logic Bently's, BMW's, Merc's, etc... are not "Good"

A built WRX is more appealing to me then a Stock STi. Just my lil 2 cent rant.
