Motors Seen anything cool on the road lately?

Saw a dead badger :\

 

I just started a new job on Dover street, Green Park, so every other motor is a Roller, Porche, Merc or Bently.... with a few Ferrari's and Lambo's thrown in for good measure.




*******ing rich people....

 

I see quite alot of Porche's, Mercs and BMW's.
One very very very special car i spotted was an Aston Martin DB4, i somewhat wept when it started up and drove past me at 10mph, i then cried after that, but, my day was complete. Other than that, a few DB9's, had a DB7, as well as a V8 Vantage. Get a few Rolls Royce and Bentlys in, and i've had a couple of Ferries in too. It soooo helps to work in an up market supermarket in a city with this oldish place that do old style races each year, oh, Goodwoods the name, yea, defo helps.

The car i see most often though, the Volvo XC90, there's frelling hundreds of the damn things

I was at the Silverstone Classic the other weekend, so there were quite a few cool cars there.

On the road recently I've seen the Holden Ute (forget the name) that was on Top Gear and that John's mentioned a few times, in yellow. A few Astons, modern and classic. A trail of foreign plated Morgans heading who-knows-where. I used to see plenty of nice stuff drive past work, but not so much recently. I sometimes see a white Lamborghini (modern, but I confuse the two) parked in one of the side streets near work.

 

I live around by loads of footballers. So Porsche's and Bentleys are common. A house down the road from me has an Aston Martin outside it all the time. See a few Ferrari's (Saw one in Tesco once which I lol'd at). And yeah just the usual supercars (Although the only person I know who has a Lambo around here is Andy Van Der Meyde).

Craig Bellamy has loads of Bentleys, the ****** cut me up once so called him a ****** lol.

 

i live in a ski resort town. one in three cars is either an XC90, a porsche cayenne, or an audi wagon

 

I saw a XJ220 the other day.


I literally gaped in amazement.

 

That totally sucks. Beautiful car! I'm in envy. Body parts and offspring for one.

 

There's a few more:

1998 Lambo Diablo VT...
1986 Lambo Countach(that was a moment to remember)
1991 Testarossa
GT500 Boss
Shelby Cobra(not the Mustang body)
Ferrari 328GTB
Toyota 2000GT.
1990 Acura NSX.

The last two areonly because I love those cars.

 

Porsche 911 GT3 RS, bright orange. Made my day.

 

I really am jealous... so many cool cars oversees...
I've seen a bunch of cool ones in Johannesburg, though...
Audi R8's, Lambos, Jag XKR's... Porsches are a dime a dozen in some parts there...

 

It is indeed that one but it looks a lot better in the picture. I was discussing this with my fiance the other day and i think its all to do with the light in Aberdeen. On a bright sunny day i'm sure the Ferrari would look better, another example is the ford ASBO in orange. On a sunny day the colour looks great, on a usual grey overcast day here it looks very meh. Red cars in particular look there best in full sun.

I forgot to add numerous R8's to my list. Very nice cars.

 

Just seen two Panther Kallista 2.8's parked in the cul-de-sac where we live. Horrible cars:

 

DITTO!

First...and probably last i've ever seen. Quite spectacular. They are GIGANTIC!

But, there's a dude with a Noble M12 round me that I regularly see; as well as a mint E-type V12 convertible.

 

That cars enormous! Or she is a midget.

 

Nah, it just looks big. They're a little bit bigger than a Caterham 7. Horrible plastic front on the late 80's models though, the cars I saw were on F-plates and just looked crap with those wheels...

Still, horses for courses.

 

Mk1 Lotus Cortina White/Green
RS 200
Aston DBS

 

I've seen a mint E-type too...

I was scratching my head until I realized what it was when I got home.

Also, saw a Lambo Muira, those things are interesting to say the least.

As for cool cars:

17 60's Stangs, 15 70's Chevelles, and 17 60s-70s Camaros, all in one parking lot, quite the show.

 

Trip to the grocers. 1958 Ford Ranchero. Just like this:


Chrome steel wheels with Baby Moon hubcaps. Dual exhaust chrome tips and white tonneau cover on the bed.

Oh and a police car from Arvada with the back bumper pushed into the rear seat - all smashed in from the rear. Sitting on a flatbed tow truck.
Paperwork will take days!

 

An army of Civic Ricers.

Not really cool, but just hilarious.
