Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

I saw this beauty today:

^ Well I caught something almost as cool... a new S65 AMG:

And a pretty beaten-up looking Bentley:

I saw a same-model Bentley with that color today too; ten seconds later a Ferrari 360 Spyder (or is it spelled Spider?) followed. Two minutes later another Bentley - this time a Continental GT - showed up. No pics though, I was behind the wheel.

I found there's a small plaza in Richmond where there are lots of nice Merc's on a daily basis; it's across from Yaohan Center. Take a look if you happen to pass by there.
 
Imposing for sure... the new S is so ugly without the AMG makeup though.

I love the crazy shade of HIDs on the S65... it's like a light aqua blue.
 
Sorry but an S-class, no matter what motor is in it does not compare to an SLR in cool stakes. I am not a fan of the SLR at all but man if I saw one.....wow!!! Haha

Vancouver seems to be the place or exotic car sightings!!
 
I think the S65 has a better wow factor actually. You kind of expect the SLR to have a zillion horses but a big, German exec sedan with 700 lb. ft. of torque is something truly amazing.

Still, if I could have either I'd obviously pick the SLR. :p
 
Some pics (with my cameraphone though...):

Some from my holiday in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. There were quite many Bentleys (GTs and Flying Spurs) and Porsche Cayennes (lots of Turbos even), but I took a few pics of some of the coolest ones.

This one was in Nessebar, Bulgaria. It's some kind of tuned SL, I think the seats had "MAE" logos on them, propably the tuning company? The car had 4 exhaust pipes in the back and 2 on the both sides of the engine, a bit overkill? ;) The sound from those was awesome!

There was also one SL65 in front of a luxury hotel every night, parked next to a G55 AMG.

I also saw a F430 nearby another hotel. The guy wearing a black shirt was guarding it (and some other expensive cars) and didn't allow me to take a closer photo, so I took one from further away.

Back in Finland I saw this nice Jag near a local supermarket:

And the most awesome car I've ever seen in my town (Joensuu):

Kinda jaw-dropping to see a Gallardo coming from the left when driving to work. :) I found it later, parked next to it and took a few pics.

Indeed. ;) I have another pic of it from the front, but it's a bit ruined. :( The plates were Austrian actually.

Btw, this is a small town in eastern Finland near Russian border, I'm usually shocked if I see a Porsche here, so you can imagine how I felt when I saw that Lambo! 8)
 
That Jaguar justs looks so sexy!!

Very good point. I think the S65 is more of a beast in disguise; like you're wearing an expensive suit, but your body's all pumped up like a true athlete underneath all that clothing. You don't expect the car to have supercar-like performance but it really is comparable to a lot of exotics out there.
 
those carrera gts are absolutely gorgeous

XKR(you cant see the louvers really but they're there)

I saw a T-Rex about a week ago, awesome car.
And outside our local supermarket (I live in a town of 8000) I saw a few great cars in the past week. A S65 AMG, SL55 AMG, A Rolls-Royce Phantom, A Bentley Arnage R, A Jag E-type, Porsche Carrera S and a Ferrari 360 Modena. The advantage to living in a retirement community I guess. I should really carry a camera with me.

Vancouver Island is a great place to live; I know there's a place called Tofino, and the weather there is just perfect - mild temperatures all year round. A couple of days ago, when it was like 34 degrees in Vancouver, Tofino had a temperature in the mid-twenties. And in the winter, when it's snowing in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island is enjoying beautiful warm temperatures!!

I saw a CL63 today; a teenager was behind the wheel. Spoiled kid I guess.

And for Jacobfox, this is what they are asking for that black F430 with only 50 miles in the background of the first picture.

I was just in Tofino on Monday and Tuesday. I was born there so I like to return there every once in a while. The weather just perfect.
