    A 1963 Caddy definitely counts!

    Not sure what it is but it's mad. Seen near Tōdai-ji temple in Nara, Japan.

    Apparently it's a Toyota Vellfire Aero with some front end tweakage (grill replacement and added lights)

    Speed bumps must not be a thing in Japan.

    Dunno about "cool", or even "on the road", but I drove past this on the way to work today:-

    Unfortunately no picture, but ...
    • Mk1 Austin Mini - :thumb:
    • Almond Green - :thumb:
    • Roll cage - :thumb:
    • Twin petrol tanks - :thumb:
    • Classic Lucas Reversing light - :thumb:
    • Classic Mini growl - :thumb:
    • Straight Cut Gearbox - :thumb:

    Sounded lovely as it pulled away from the lights and went up the hill; pity it was only a 30mph zone. :D

    I'm still waiting for that car that Apple might be building. It was somewhere in Germany that the design team has already been put together.:jawdrop:

    I'm more interested about how they will claim that their vehicle is more user friendly.

    Ferrari F12 TDF on the streets of London today (on a road between the Embankment and Whitehall). I didn't manage to get a picture, but it was exactly the same as the photo above.

    Good reg too - LC16 TDF

    Saw a compilation video of that F12 TDF launching and such from the Gumball rally. Many, many want.
    Sounds glorious as well.

    A few weeks ago, I saw hoards of scattered groups or single riders of bicycles traveling along on the annual bicycle-athon trek through the region. Even though there was a light rain, I was envious.

    A Tatra from the 1930s... seen at Winston Churchill's old house (Chartwell) - beautifully restored as well.

    My friend used to have a yellow Integrale Evoluzione before he moved to the states. Kicks himself every time it comes up.

    I sadly didn't manage to grab a picture, but I saw a White Nissan Stagea (Not actual picture, one I knicked off Google) earlier, which struck me as a heck of a surprise, since I didn't even know they existed over here.

    A little later; what looked to be something like an early 1930s ford (Maybe a Model A Coupe?), setup as a Hotrod, exposed tires and loud V8 burble as it rolled past. Had I been driving; I might've actually turned around to get a good shot of it, since I did feel like I was witnessing something very rare indeed.

    Riding my roadbike round Richmond Park on Tuesdya last week, I saw a jet black Aventador driving the opposite way to me, then I was overtaken by a white Gallardo spider.

    You don't get nothing for a pair.... not in this game :)
