And btw, I love the pics of the Aston. The light reflections are delicous.

Nope, none of these photos were taken in the bay area, i used to live there but not anymore.

That Aston is just so ORANGE! Other than that......

btw what youre thinking of in SF is called Japantown, not Little Osaka, and the one in downtown LA is called Little Tokyo, not Little Osaka. I live in a different district altogether. I'm guessing youre white or something so all those locales appear the same. No offense taken.

Amazing pictures! Did you take all the pictures with a cell-phone? Do you mind me asking what the model is? I need to upgrade, and I might as well get one with a good camera.

Mostly with a Samsung D900, U600, some crappy i760 pics, a few iPhone pics, and some actual camera photos. Now i usually have my Nikon DSLR in the car, so i take photos with that occasionally.

haha, I just typed little osaka into google maps and it took me to somewhere in Berkeley. My whiteness doesn't have anything to do with it, I live 2000 miles from you... so I really wouldn't know the area, would I?

By the way, how often do you see Bentleys? I'm just wondering because I saw 999999 in London.

wow, really? Now I am surprised, just checked and it is dirt cheap, is it an old model or have basic phones gotten that good?

There's a sickenly annoying number of Bentley Conti GTs and Conti convertibles here. Flying Spurs i don't see quite as much, but still frequently.

I see lots of Quattroportes and i mean LOTS, almost moreso than 'ordinary' Merc S Classes. I've seen at least 10 different Maser GTs as well (they were different colors with different plates so i'm guessing i saw different cars.

Ive only seen a small number of Arnage and T variations.

Also several RR Phantoms.

To date the uber rare cars ive only seen one of is one Enzo and one Veyron on the streets, they were driving past me so i couldnt shoot them.

Just another day in SoCal.. You do get desensitized by it all.

I've seen the Shoe Car at a lot of art-car events. It's been around for years & is based on an *old* Honda CB350 motorcycle.

Except that it's an MR. Painted gills, BBS wheels, and leather seats. Sexy in dark grey either way though.

For some reason, those tires look small...

Probably right, i dont remember what the badge said.

[edkwon]

997 911 GT3



Jaguar Mk II, aka the Inspector Morse-mobile



Porsche 356, dunno if it's real or a replica



stuff i see while driving all the time, just not all at once, another V8 Vantage, another C63 AMG, another M5

Damnit, I'm going to have to start carrying a camera with me! In the last couple of days, I've seen two Bentely Flying Spurs, a Phantom, a Phantom Drophead Convertable and a Maserati Gran Turismo.

That's funny because i was out last night with some friends and walking on the sidewalk i saw one of everything you mentioned except for the DHC, but ive seen those around as well at other times.
