Got scolded by the discipline master for being too fanatic and mad about cars to actually run out of school during school time just to take a photo of an Italian devil ><

Seen today: F430, in the now usual "almost-a-Scuderia" look. Could it possibly be that Ferrari makes more money by selling Scuderia look-a-like stripes and wheels for normal F430's, than by selling real Scuderias? images/smilies/wink.gif

That's damn nice looking F430 even if it isn't "real" Scud. I'd like to see those wheels bit better.

ED: Spotted a rare car today.
Too bad my cell has such a lousy cam.

Saw two Porsches at a garage that seems to specialize in European cars.

There was an old Porsche, I think, at someone's house but I got a bad picture.

Then farther down the road is a used European car dealer. There is a Alfa Spider, I think, there and it's the red one on the left of the picture.

^ Walking closer to what you are trying to take a picture of may help solve the blurriness problem. That does look like a Porsche 356 btw, it's most likely a replica.

Posmo · July 9th, 2008, 01:14 AM

First post in this thread, just had to post this.

http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/181/rs6jh6.jpg

Its an old RS6, upped to about 650 bhp, and with the most appropriate licence plate in the world images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Btw, I have tons more pictures, is there any site to which i can just load all the images at once and get a dozen links to copy+pate here? I used imageshack for that, and its getting a bit bothersome to always up 1 image at a time.

Yeppers, it's called Phyrefile and it's operated by the same guys who operate FinalGear. In fact, it was made mainly for the use of FG members. images/smilies/cool.gif

Well it was a camera phone, 0.3mp, and I was in a moving car at highway speed. images/smilies/lol.gif

In that case, I'm very impressed. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Here are two of the more interesting vehicles found in the local hospital parking garage.

I live fairly close to a very affluent neighbourhood here in Toronto. I've seen more BMWs on the street than I can count, but I've never spotted this particular BMW before:

http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/5442/bmwm51jc3.jpg

And then a few days ago on the walk home I saw this (apologies for the poor image quality, I didn't have a lot of time to frame up the shot):

Today: Lancia Beta Spider (Zagato). Cool car.

Just curious; is it Forest Hill, or Rosedale?

Shawn · July 10th, 2008, 12:24 AM

^ Maybe neither... I mean an M5 is that big a sign of affluence, is it? images/smilies/tongue.gif

Also, sticking that V10 badge on the back, cheap. Just because it has 10 cylinders doesn't make it right.

Actually, it's the Bridle Path. Ted Rogers (who owns the Blue Jays), Conrad Black and Prince all have/had homes there.

Ok not really a random spotting as it was outside the racetrack where an event that had a ton of Porsches but I'll still post it lol
