Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

Again...I'm really dissapointed that it was too late and they had closed up for the day but I got pics of the cars for whatever its worth. Turns out they actually have 3-Flying Spurs...

I took more pics but they're all rubish like this...maybe next time I'll go in the daytime and sit in one instead! :D

btw: We got a call today from Benz offering a test drive of the new S550. Hopefully with in the next month!! I'll take snaps of that.

Give me a chance, I've been ill...hence not pulling an all-nighter online!

Anywho, Aston and 911 [admittedly previous-gen 911, not sure what type]. Was on the bus home and spotted the Aston. Naturally, rushed off at next stop to get pics. Then I saw it was a V8 Vantage [my first \o/]

As usual, phone pics = not so nice quality.

That's the pics of the two of them, the rest are all Aston-only.

And finally, I found it really funny that something as exorbirant as an Aston Martin would need something as mundane as a parking ticket...

I think that Aston is black! I haven't seen too many pics of those...they look so nice in that colour. I still think its a rip off pricewise.

Yep, it was black. Yep, it looks rather prettyful (though hard to get good pics of, with all the reflections!).

One thing I noticed was the badge - it just says "Vantage". I'm sure I saw pictures of AMV8s with "V8 Vantage" on the back...maybe if you don't want to admit you have a smaller-than-most-Astons engine you can have the "V8" bit removed.
 
I think the V8 Vantage is prettier than the DB9... the proportions are better.

I've not had the chance to ogle the two side-by-side...but I do like the AMV8.

The only problem I have with it is Aston seem to be using pretty much an identical design for all their cars now [Vanquish, DB9, V8 Vantage, DBS, Rapide] - they're all identical, besides size and in one case, number of doors.

Yes, the shape is stunning, but c'mon - too much of a good thing :/
 
Can't have too much of that... Gives me the chills way down the spine just looking at it..

So how was it? As good as Jeremy says?

Can't really talk too much about it, since it was an impression for a magazine. I'm also not used to driving these kind of cars, but it's one hell of a car for sure.

Alpina 3 Series. See it almost every day and have had the photo for ages but keep forgetting to put it up!
 
I saw this piece of fart yesterday... to quote SL65 it was a "meh" car, but decided to snap and post it just to contribute to this thread which I always look at:

At least you didn't think I'd spotted a new E-Class... :D

Aren't those out yet, though? I've seen them, didn't think a picture of an S-Class was necessary... Salar has posted a few.
 
But isn't the E55 more expensive than the bottom-of-the-range S-Class models?
 
Budapest.... yeah, it isnt "special" but it was in Statue Park, which was amusing :)

Yeah but S-Class is not as common. I don't care though, I'd get an E55 over some S350 any day.
 
Don't have a camera phone, but I saw a red ford gt close to where I live. A couple of months ago I saw a black on in the same spot.
