Other Random Car Sightings

Viper007Bond · May 22nd, 2004, 05:17 AM

This was the original thread for posting car sightings. You can still use it for sightings that don't warrant their own thread. However, photos are still required (unlike when this thread first started).

Saw a nice yellow Viper GTS with two white stripes and a wing gettin' on the freeway a couple days ago. It was SCREAMIN'!

I saw a McLaren F1 driving by a couple of weeks ago while sitting at McDonalds!

By the way, the BMW dealer in our town is the only authorized McLaren dealer and service center in Germany. There's even a pre-owned F1 in their showroom, price: 1.200.000 Euros.

You lucky S.O.B!!!! I don't think I'll ever get the pleasure of seeing one of those!! Can I come over to your house?

I saw a Lotus Esprit about a month ago. Not a super expensive exotic, but it is quite rare here in Vancouver. Looks superb in British Racing Green.

Next time I go downtown I'll take some pics of the cars I see. The posers like to drive their exotics at 30km/hr downtown during the weekend

Stretch Hummer (see http://www.nicolls.com/WHITEH2.jpg)
Lamborghini Countach
Ferrari Testarossa
Ferrari 308
Lotus Esprit
E-type Jaguar
Porsche 356

Few weeks ago I saw '70s Trans Am. No big deal, but this one had like 700bhp pure american muscle

DimitriPopov · May 25th, 2004, 09:13 PM

I saw a Ferrari 360 a few months ago , it was awsome but unfortnately I was parked in White Castle getting ready to go in so I couldnt give chase. This is in Fairfield, Ohio so it was strange to see. I loved it.
