    That Skyline may have been somewhat real.. The model of Infiniti you're comparing it to was also sold as a Nissan Skyline, though they never sold a GT-R model of it.

    EDIT:

    Where did you see a GTR badge on it? That Skyline looks legit. The owner probably replaced the tail lamp cover with a darker version, added a wing, etc.

    Madison is Oscar Meyers headquarters. All 7 weinermobiles are based there.
    I interviewed to be a 'Hotdogger' - the driver, in 1981 as a college senior. Went to Bell Labs in Colorado instead.

    I was in London(south Kensington) yesterday and walked past a Lambo, Maserati and Ferrari showroom on the same street, also saw numerous porshes, a bunch of Merc SLK's several Aston Vantage/Vanquish and DB9's a couple Ferrari's, a classic Maserati, a few Bentley's and a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead. Seriously the largest number of cool cars I have ever seen in one day.

    BMW 128i... with German plates. They were at the same hotel as me, so I got a pretty good look at it. Sexy :thumb:

    Also, I was in Vegas for the last 4 days, so I've got a few pictures to add once I get them off my camera. I've never seen so many cars worth over $200k in my life, I thought I was going to get whiplash :lol:

    There's a couple of them here... most notably a lime green one, which really stands out.
    While i DO like its exterior styling, i find myself going "ergh... VW" whenever i look inside...
    The Alfa MiTo on the other hand... just as good looking in the right colors, and not as "german". Plus, there's the Quadrofoglio Verde MiTos coming next year... :)

    The other day in Marseille: Sparkly purple Smart with full body kit and bad hiphop blasting out of the speakers.. :lol:

    On a more positive note: the streets of that city are lined with parked motorcycles, saw a couple of sweet ones. Stood ogling a Ducati 999 for a couple of minutes :baby:

    I saw that too and at first I thought the guy did it himself but there was just no way as this was way too clean. Then I got home, checked the web and realized that was how the coupé model was called now ... I mean wtf ? I have never seen this again however

    Yep I also saw one last weekend on the highway. It's quite discreet looking, which is kind of a flaw for a Porsche in my opinion

    Now I feel a bit better. My friend finally got our Vegas pics up on his facebook, so I just got done loading it into my PB account.

    One of many. Still have a few on my camera as well, but I CBA to take care of them yet.

    Why are they so rare? I take it they were never officially imported into Namibia?

    You trip over them on Saturday nights in Boulder. S2K graphics and dragon vinyl stickers.

    The start engine button one the dash is neat.
