The Audi R8 is a bit of a common spot nowadays, but I'd never seen this colour. It was getting really dark so the car looks like a dark gray, but it was a light baby blue.



Not that nice IMO, this colour just doesn't work for sports cars. I don't like the F430 Spyder in baby blue for the same reason.

^ Is that some silver on the side? Looks a bit hideous to me, but just my opinion.

The license plate looks like it's from New York?

It's a shame that nice looking old Range Rover is being covered up by an ugly car.

Yeah, not a flattering combo. The one design aspect I hate about the R8 are those sideblade things... so I like the colour schemes which best hides it.

It had regular BC personalized plates. I didn't read it when I snapped the photo but looking at the pic I wanna say it said LM R8.

Is that blue colour called Le Mans blue per chance?

I was up in the middle of New Hampshire in June of 2006 and saw a Lotus Elise...



And then, in September of 2006, I saw what was perhaps the worst customization of a car.... ever.




Look at the interior of that thing! Absolutely hideous!

I also saw a Jaguar XKR a couple of weeks ago parked outside an Olive Garden restaurant...in New Hampshire. It wasn't brand new, but it was a couple of years old judging from the door handles. It was dark green with the "Jaguar Supercharged" badge on the front. Very nice.

I'd rather get stuck in a hurricane with no home and no shelter than to evacuate the area in that car. If those were my only two options.

At first I thought you had spotted some barriers. I love how the GT and that white car blend together so seamlessly.

Park Royal, eh? I see the white one frequently in West Van. But never saw that blue one around.

Lady owner I guess...

Yeah, PR North in front of London Drugs. The white one looks awesome, this was alright.

I think it seems rather appropriate. It's the cherry on top of a fugly sundae, I suppose. I'd really like to have seen the owner of the car, just to see the type of person they were.

I'd laugh really hard if someone hit the front end...the whole front of the car would have to get fixed...same with the rear.

Quite honestly I didn't know that. Thank you.

I actually hadn't seen the carbage thread until just today, so in the future if I've got something like this I'll put it there.
