Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

And I believe it's quite rare, I've only seen one
 
Some new sightings from Arequipa:

I believe that a sorry looking VW Amazon, but I'm not sure... Wait? Something else on this photo? I don't see...

I have no idea what this is, it's got mirrors like an old Japanese spec car but looks more American and to big to be an old Celica...
If anyone knows what the 4x4 is as well ;-)

I think it's a South American chick - how can you not see that?
 
It's not a cobra. Well, I highly doubt it is. One, it has the base model V6 front bumper, without the pony package meaning it's a really base model (hence the lone pony emblem in front) and second, that's a vastly undersized cobra badge for the 05+ model cars (the real one is about 50% bigger than that, I'd say that's a reproduction vintage cobra or a poor knockoff badge).

That's my verdict, low base model V6 with an undersized cobra badge tacked on for looks.

That yellow SUV is a Romanian made Aro 10. As far as I know they were exported to South American countries

Yup, that's an Audi 200, based on the Audi 100 C2. I knew there was such a camper attachement for the Saab 99 and later but that required the rear hatch to be disassembled so the attachement was based on the original boot floor. This one is obviously without that requirement since the boot lid is still in place.
 
I'm trying to identify a car I saw, but didn't have time to photo, on Sunday 30th August just outside Preston, Lancashire. I think it must be a complete one-off because of the paint-job - it was like polished silver, almost mirrored. I've never seen anything remotely like it.

I'm pretty sure it was one of these

https://pic.armedcats.net/d/di/diti/2009/09/06/mercedes-benz-slr-mclaren.jpg

but does anyone know this car, and can anyone confirm it might have been a Merc? (bit unlikely, but you never know).

Was it this car:
chrome-mercedez_ss1qp_48.jpg
 
I think she knows THAT's an SLR, she just wants to know if the chrome one she glimpsed was one too.
 
Seen this weekend:

Did yet another one of those "to-the-south-to-the-Med" road trips, like the one 14 days ago. A different and more scenic route trough Italy this time, but I ended up in Monaco again, since a friend of mine was competing at the IronMan2009 triathlon and like all those fragile sport freaks he's in constant need of moral support. Because of this event car traffic was limited and reduced inside the city, but nontheless a fair bit of car porn popped up anyway. So inbetween yelling "poweeer!" at the swim/run/bike freaks and aiming my lens at the nice ladies on the beach, I shot a few car goodies too:

Underway:
Mach1

Jag (also visible on this pic is one of the main reasons for my weekend road trips: If the weather goes shit where I live, I hop over the Alps and I'm in the summer again)

Arrived in Monaco:
500 in tiger-bait livery

Of course, 360 Spider (very common)

Porsche Speedster

That Gallardo came up again

Enzo
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/10_Enzo1.JPG

A red one, this time
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/11_Enzo2.JPG

I just love the noise this thing makes. Mix the rumble of an idling Veyron with the race car scream of a Porsche Carrera GT: there's your Enzo soundtrack. Magnificent.

Phantom Drophead
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/13_Phantomdrop1.JPG

Look at that, it's fucking huge. Maybe someone copied the orginal plans accidently with 130% before production started?

Speaking of it, a Carrera GT, trying to sneak by

California
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/17_California1.JPG

Those chaps changed drivers every 100 meters, gunning the car inbetween.
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/18_California2.JPG

And off the went again, with the exhaust system backfiring like a machine gun. - Have fun while it lasts, boys.

Quattroporte, with questionable battleship paintjob

Renault Sport Spider
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/29_Renault_Sport_Spider.JPG

McLaren SLR (believe me it was one, that engine sound is very unique)
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/30_McLarenSLR.JPG

The next day:
512 TR
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/31_512TR.JPG

And then I somehow stumbled into a private car park of an exlusive resort. After realising where I was I headed back to the gate, but sure enough one of the chaps guarding the place came after me. But to my surprise he hand-signed over a few car rows some sort of "photograping-ok-but-I'm-watching-you". Aha, thanks. So I shot a few pics there. Most of the cars had the windows down and the keys were actually inside. So then I knew what the guard chap meant with his "I'm-watching-you" in sign language. - Very tempting indeed

Mondial T and one of the countless Bentleys

612

Another AMG CLS, note the Brabus SUV behind

And yet another 599, this time with black rims, nice
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/35_Another599.JPG

007 was also around, it seems.

And so was a bit of wallet carbage: purple-gold flip paintjop, yuck
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/37_CarbageFlippaintMerc.JPG

There was a lot more car porn at that place, but I didn't want to go on the guard patience any longer and so I waved a "thanks, bye" and left.

Outside I was greeted by more wallet carbage: Magnum Chayenne. So over the top.

Gallardo, guarded by les gendarmes
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/39_Galloardopolice.JPG

Meh, another 360

Meh, another Spider
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/41_Another360Spider.JPG
Excellent E-Type

Continental
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/43_Continental.JPG

That TR again.
https://pic.armedcats.net/l/li/lipadier/2009/09/07/44_Again512TR.JPG

The end.

Again, recommended.

Greetings, lip
