Only counting cars I have actually seen on the roads. Hmm hard to chose just three.

Lamborghini countach LP500; actually 2 of these
lamborghini murcielago
Lancia Delta HF Integrale; two of these also


Living in Tokyo you see some kind of supercar everyday. The lambos seem to out number everything else, no idea why.

1. Grey Lamborghini Murcielago
2. Red Ferrari F430 Spider
3. Silver Aston Martin Vantage

I had never seen any of these on the street, so it has been a lucky month :)
 
Shelby Cobra
Lotus Elan (schmexy)
Nissan Cube

We kinda have a wierd distribution of automotive wealth over here...
 
In a generally understood tone:
Lotus Elise
Lamborghini Countach in red
And a more literal tone:
Dodge Neon ricer edition. On fire. How I like them.
 
1. Dodge Viper GT-S (blue with silver stripes)
2. Hyundai Genesis-a pack of four, actually
3. Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4

3. Toyota Supra :drool:

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.

They're a bear to tune. Very finicky. But it's possible. an additional 35 horsepower with bolt-ons and a chip... and another 20 with spray. Just got to get around all the check-engine lights and limp modes and what-not... I've heard VAG diesels are easier. :lol:
 
Nissan GT-R
Spyker C8 Laviolette LM85
Lotus Exige S GT
 
- Viper RT/10
- Viper SRT-10
- Boxster S Limited Edition (not as good as the Elise, but a hell of a lot rarer)

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.

Well, you'll like to hear, in this case, I'm the proud owner of an FJ62, similar to that but in a Champagne color and from 1990. It's not perfect, but I can guarantee you it's hard to find one in as nice a condition as mine...paint is a little beat up, but it's all original. I agree, the 60 series tend to be forgotten and roughed up too much, but they are still pretty young, so don't expect them to be treated as vintage cars just yet. There are only a couple in my corner of Los Angeles, but they're still pretty common and in heavy use today. If you're interested, I can give you the name of a great forum specifically for Land Cruisers...just PM me.

But, back on topic:

1.) Ferrari Testarossa in classic Rosso Corsa(my uncle's, actually, so I get to see it fairly often)

2.) Maserati Quattroporte, looked brand new and had a beautiful beige exterior and interior.

3.)Nissan GT-R in a red, on the way back from AZ going the opposite way, so no picture.

I do, however, have a pic of the Testarossa, but it's a bit old...rather old, in fact, I was only two at the time it was taken, but it's me sitting in it. PM me if you're interested, I don't really think it's worth posting up here:dopey:
 
1. Porsche 911 Turbo (997) - Just a gorgeous car, was in black as well. Not to mention blisteringly fast according to statistics.

2. Aston Martin DB9 - I see it on an almost daily basis but it's just a beautiful car.

3. Ferarri F430 Spyder - Randomly passed by it on a normal side street I take home from work.
 
1. Nissan R34 GTR (Greenish/beige)
2. Ferrari F430 (Yellow)
3. Mitsubishi Evo X (Silver)

I also saw a DBS at a real expensive hotel valor earlier this year.

Yeah what's up with that - I saw one behind Crown, near the hotel.
 
  1. Ferrari F430
  2. Ferrari Testarossa
  3. 1962 Corvette

There is an exotics dealer down the street from my office. Last time I drove past he had two Ferrari F430s and a Testarossa. I took a pic with my phone the first time I went by of the two F430s.

Sorry for the window glare reflecting my crotch, but I didn't have time to roll down the window as traffic came up behind me.

And then one day at a local park the Sheriff's department was having a picnic and one of them showed up in his '62 Corvette.

That's a '62 Corvette, not a '53.

And this is an example of how lacking my classic car knowledge is and what happens when you attempt to make an ID via Google Images.
 
Just saw my second Veyron in a month. Today's one was parked at the Bently dealership in Berkeley Square.

The best bit? It was CHROME with British Racing Green bonnet. :crazy:

edit: found a pic online

edit 2: just found out it's one of four "Centenaire" versions. And the "chrome" is therefore bare aluminium.
