Seen today:
Humber Super Snipe Series III (Now that's a name for a car, eh?

)

Never heard of this marque and this car before. Had to use Wikipedia for identification... How the hell did we do such things before "the internet" was around?!

Greetings, lip

Shawn · July 10th, 2008, 10:01 PM

Opus Hotel in Yaletown. Apparently, he cruise Kits and lives in the UBC Endowment Lands. So I heard.

I've seen a black Porsche GT on SW Marine, near UBC once. Perhaps he owns both the GT the Reventon?

JipJopJones · July 11th, 2008, 07:58 AM

That is my new mission. I recently completed my "see an R8" now I must "see the Revention"

No rush, these are too nice for my 15.4" laptop so I'm gonna have to get back to Vancouver and use them at 1920x1080 on the desktop.

Haha, took me almost a month to get these done...what me slow? Noooo...

I've just removed Photoshop from my editing process and I'm trying to do images from start to finish in Lightroom. It's a whole lot faster, but I'm still experimenting for example with the sharpening, so it's basically taking roughly the same amount of time as before

Shawn · July 11th, 2008, 01:28 PM

^ You know, I had totally forgotten about it until yesterday.

Thank you muchly, these will look great on my desktop.

Lambo Murcielago LP640

Sorry for the crap photo. That's what you get with a cell phone camera when it gets dark

bafranksbro · July 13th, 2008, 10:41 PM

Damn I wish I had my camera at the ready all the time. While On my mini vacation I saw about 1,000 BMW's none all that remarkable, the most remarkable thing I saw was a Lotus Elise driving up one of the best roads in the area. The other remarkable thing I saw yesterday heading back was that Convertible Aston, it was white which is a bit of a weird color, I obviously didn't get a long time to see it since meeting a car on the road at 50mph in traffic doesn't give you a lot of time to do anything.

I also saw a new M3 in traffic yesterday, the guy looked back at me weird, he was old and looked grumpy.

Hate to burst your bubble, but that's not the classical cute Fiat 500. It's a Zastava 650, Fičo, the people's car (which was based on the 500) and was utterly utterly shit.

Banii · July 14th, 2008, 01:14 AM

I know. Rare enough around these parts, and it's all small and cute

Well, that could be a Fiat 600, too, since the Zastava was manufactured under license from Fiat.

IceBone · July 14th, 2008, 11:04 PM

True, but those all rusted away.
