Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

I keep putting this off in the hope that I will spot anything else noteworthy, but it's simply not happening for me at the moment.

Oldsmobile 442:

Somebody in Belgium spent 126k€ on a freaking Lexus.

Who goes ‘no I don’t want an AMG, or an M car, or even an RS Audi, just a very expensive Toyota please’ ?

Someone who wants to a rev happy naturally aspirated V8 with no electrification.

Seriously, that Celica is now your only choice out of those options. Unless that thing is the 500h with the V6 hybrid...

 

[NooDle]

Well I guess that's true, if the "naturally aspirated" aspect is THAT important.
OTOH there are tons of secondhand N/A V8s also on sale for a lot less than that fancy Celica...

100k+ on any car that's not special/exclusive/fast/??? is daft to me.

Seen today:

Mundane car, but rare by now: Alfa Romeo 33

Mercedes-AMG GT with a ugly whaletail spoiler and (I assume) a bodykit. Also had a handful of black carbon winglets stuck to each front fender:

And a gaggle of classics, that Jaguar was especially beautiful:

So will RS6 V10 wagons.

Now now, I had the S6 for two years, it was good and great, but I moved on from it, without a look back. - And so should you.

Anyway, seen tonight: CityEL

 

[93Flareside]

And so should you.

Nope

Seen this week:

Talbot Matra Murena 2.2L

 

[Eye-Q]

Whoa, one owner from new, just 110k km on the odo and in that kind of condition - nice!

 

[Matt2000]

While not the prettiest car going, that wins just for weirdness.

80s coupé body - check
Morris Marina door handles - check
Turbine wheels - check
Funny mirror stalks like a gear stick gaiter - check
Slightly modified tail light clusters from the parts bin - check
Single spoke steering wheel like a Citroen - check
Three seats - WTF?!

 

[lip]

^ Yeah, three seats, I had no idea and did a double take when I looked inside. - I didn't noticed the three seats when I took the outside pics beforehand.

Seen yesterday:

720hp/1050nm Audi RS6 Avant Monster, or as @93Flareside would say: "Take the hint, lip!"

 

[DanRoM]

"Take the hint, lip!"

What hint? It's behind you.

 

[NecroJoe]

If I had to guess, the hint is something like...

Once dime a dozen, now rare as hen's teeth: 2nd gen Ford Fiesta

Saw this VW Type 3 just before I went on holiday:

Looks like it's in good condition. I was told most of these rusted away in the 80s, and many of were wrecked in rallycross, few survived in good nick.

And the ones you do see will look ok outside, but have a falling apart interior because they seemed to not last, and good luck finding a donor. These are such groovy little things.

Seen today:

A good looking people carrier, it does exist: Renault Espace

The local sportscar gang on a outing...

VW Beetle...

...and Bus

Ford GT

Dammit, I should move to Switzerland, lol.

Makes sense, since your car is already here:
