Don't go farther back then 31 days or so (like you'll really remember the dates)

But for me, in the past month, I know my top 3 would be:

1. Lamborghini Gallardo Superlegerra

2. Nissan R35 (grey, and I saw it today, actually!)

3. Corvette C6 (Red)

Well i just went to a show and saw some crazy stuff

1. Alfa Romeo 8c Compitezione

2. Aston Martin DB9

3. Ferrari Scudderia 16m (or at least I think thats what it was, it looked new to me)
 
Interesting idea, but probably too close to the DYSAGT thread... ah, whatever:

  1. Corvette C5 Z51
  2. BMW M5 E39
  3. Porsche 356A (?) Cabriolet
 
1. Yellow 2008-ish Masarati Grand Turismo
2. Silver 2007-ish Porsche GT3
3. Teal 1991-1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible
 
1. First in Australia, Audi R8 V10
2. Black Aston Martin DBS
3. (Australia's Third?) Ford GT
 
1. Ferrari F40
2. Ferrari F430 Scud
3. Nissan R35

All of those were today actually, on the M6, travelling the opposite direction.
 
1. Lamborghini Murcielago
2. Aston Martin Vantage. I've seen a few of those.
3. Ferrari 599. I'm sure I've seen them in the last month. There's always two out and about in my town.

I'm sure there are some better than the Vantage but I don't remember.

EDIT:

You saw an F40 just driving down the motorway? Very cool! 👍

Sadly no, it was travelling the other direction so I could only see it for a few seconds. Really wish it was on the same side as me travelling at the same speed though, would of got so many photos! It sounded so nice!
 
Past month:

Pagani Zonda C12S
Ferrari FXX Evo
Ferrari F50
 
Hmmm...

  1. Plymouth Superbird
  2. 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS
  3. '32 Ford Rat-Rod Special
 
Turbo Lag
1. First in Australia, Audi R8 V10
2. Black Aston Martin DBS
3. (Australia's Third?) Ford GT

White, was it? With a Carbon Fibre sideplate and tinted versions of the old R8 wheels instead of the new ones?

The hottest cars I've recently seen are in the photo gallery in my Sig. One thing that isn't in there is a CLK63 Black.
 
Nissan Skyline R35 2010
Nissan Cube 2010 (interesting, but strange)
a modified Mitsubishi Lancer evo.Vll
 
Hmmm...

1. A LandCruiser LC60 in immaculate condition. That is to say, concours-condition... all chrome badges immaculately polished, beige (!) paint flawless, beautiful stance... being driven on the road.

-It's hot because nobody... and I mean nobody ever bothers to dress up or restore an LC60 anymore... they all go for the iconic FJ40 or up to the more modern LC70 or popular LC80. The 60 is the LandCruiser that time forgot.

No... it was better than this one... but my companion with the camera was sooooooo slow.... grrrrrr....

2. Ford Escort Mexico Wagon - a three door wagon. I guess Escorts are a common sight on UK roads, but here, finding one that hasn't rusted to oblivion is a chore.

Someday, he will sell that thing to me... muwahahahaha!!!

3. Ford Focus TDCi (modified) - complete with ricey quad exhausts... okay... so maybe it's a little overdone... but trying to drag-launch a car with so much torque without having the ECU shut down everything to protect the drive-axles is an invigorating challenge...

It's the one at the end... my pics of the event aren't uploaded yet... I love Focii!

I still love my car... but after doing a port and polish, camshafts, cam-gears, a full exhaust and chip-tuning... to only have about 170-180 bhp versus the faintly ridiculous 200 plus horsepower of a diesel with bolt-ons... not to mention over 300 foot-pounds of torque on alcohol spray... I give up... :lol:

-

Okay, color me strange... I have seen an R35, an R8 and some other junk in the last month, but you can see these things anywhere... (anywhere there are people rich enough to afford them)... a proper enthusiast's car, on the other hand, is the work of a lot of love and time... (and sometimes money, too)... and is more special, IMHO, than something merely bought off the shelf.
 
Turbo Lag

Yep, thats the one. What sort of race event were you at? I saw it at Eastern Creek at the Nationals, but it was hanging around the F3 garages.
 
Rolls Royce Phantom
Nissan GTR (R35)
Jaguar XKR (new type)
 
80Y 2C2

Actually, I saw it on road, which makes it an even better sighting for me. I'm pretty sure I had the first ever reported on-road spot of it.

Here's the original post about it.

Read on in that thread to see my post about it.
 
1. 1989 300ZX, red

2. 1988 Toyota Supra 3.0GT (Burgundy)

3. Porsche Carrera (Silver, was on a auto-transport)

I live in Northern New England and don't get to see very many nice cars.
 
i drive up to london everyday so i see a shed load of porsches, aston martins and ferraris driving up the embankment most mornings.

top 3 this week

Mercedes mclaren
Pagani zonda (in a showroom)
Audi R8 (matt black)
 
Oh god, what have I seen...

1) Nissan GTR (first one I've seen as of yet)
2) Maserati Coupe
3) Nissan Micra

That's how exciting my town is. Although it is fairly affluent, I just seem to have a knack for avoiding anything expensive.

Actually that's basically the same situation for us. I don't think I've ever seen a Mk1 Escort that hasn't been turned into a banger racer. Bit of a shame, but there we are.

Ahh, now we have got plenty of those ;) Except nobody would even contemplate modding that gen of Focus over here, let alone a diesel engined one.
