Motors Seen anything cool on the road lately?

In her defense, the expletives uttered when she saw the green one brought her back from the brink

 

The panels are madness, designed to be banged off things? Why not but a car with a padded bonnet for all those pedestrians you keep hitting?

Still, fair play to them for doing something different.

 

Because that's what the GTR needed: a higher centre of gravity!

To paraphrase James May, that looks like a festival of plastic death! Nissan JokeR.

 

I saw one of those at RIAT, ferrying airshow officials around (or something like that). I was surrounded by hundreds of photographers when it passed by and everyone agreed that the most sensible thing to do would be to take it out back and put it out of its misery.

 

Odd that they named it the Cactus. One would expect the pricks to be in the inside!

 

I still shout at Nissan Jukes whenever I see them.
I also refer to them as Nissan Puke, and am sh*t-scared that if any one of them were to have a fender bender with me, I'd have to write the GT86 off... it's got ugly on it then... that's not going to buff out.

Back on topic (though no picture): a Ferrari 458 Spider just outside my office... they are such pretty cars...

 

2 different BMW i8's within 36hrs. One parked up outside the Carfest festival on Sunday morning, the other outside my local cinema on Monday afternoon.

Also many, many wonderful cars inside Carfest, pics once I d/l from camera.

 

I like the look of the Juke and although I haven't had a proper look at a Cactus yet, it looks fine from pictures I've seen. I appreciate actual effort going into design, and even if I don't particularly like the end result I much prefer it to the safety regulation box ticking blandness of the majority of cars today.

Saw an Aston Martin today, dunno which model it was since all Astons have looked the same for 20 years.

 

You are very unlikely ever to see a Juke R. Very few built and go for more than £300,000.

Have just seen a Mercs E-Class hearse, picking up an old man who died recently a few doors away from here. Can't help thinking it would be improved with big wheels and tyres and the running gear from an E63 AMG, with the boost turned up for 600+ bhp.

I used to live on a street with a GT-R parked on it, it always had a child seat in the back

 

Yesterday, driving to local cinema, stopped at the lights and a Tesla Model S pulled up next to us, then we followed it in to the cinema/gym car park. It was eerily silent.

Although it went over bumps at a surprising slow speed. I guess the battery packs don't like to be dented.

 

Speaking of eerily quiet: I almost got run over by a reversing Prius in a parking lot the other day.
Not that Priii/Priuses are exceptionally rare here or anything, but being a VERY hilly city, they normally sound quite normal. This one was DEAD quiet on a badly designed parking lot with a blind driver (meaning that I couldn't see the tail lights and walked in behind the person, the person just reversed).

 

Edit cant seem to upload for some bizzare reason >_<

 

Was on the bus so couldn't crab a pic but does an Audi R8 count?


Though the fact it's an Audi, combined with the personalised plate beans that the owner was a complete and irredeemable knob-end... Sad but them's 'the rules'...

 

Not so far off from the Mercedes M class from a couple of years back.

I pass a nice white example turning out of my street each morning, its quite a pretty car in the flesh.

 

Passed a cute little orange Porsche 914 on the way home tonight (file photo):-

 

This morning, whilst out walking the dog, I saw a Jaguar D-Type, in BRG with number roundels. (No phone to take pics.) Impossible to tell if it was an original but, it looked right and definitely sounded like a Jaguar straight six under the bonnet.

 

Spotted this morning at green park, had to pop back.

The staff were friendly and explained that shr has 630 hourses and is this
