Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

We made a car/bicycle road trip to Lake Como in Italy today. - Awesome scenery, and the car sighting density was off the scale. Off the scale, I tell you! - Was a superb day out. Recommended.

I snapped one picture while on vacation this past week. :p

I missed a Mercedes 190SL convertible, a DeTomaso Pantera, a '50s Rolls or Bentley, a Bentley Turbo R, a Mercedes 190 Ponton, a Hummer H1 and a slew of classic American cars.

But I did manage to successfully photograph a BMW L7.

And now that I'm back home, a Willys Jeep.

Some nice cars parked outside, same place that I spotted that Ferrari 308. Sort of cheating since this place is a shop that works on these vehicles.

Two boxters, two 911's, a 928 and a cayman. Though I like that F-body as well.
 
I saw this today. The roof looks horrible, but the car looks awesome!

Team wierdo: Smart Crossblade followed by a (in these longitudes at least) rare US truck (+rep for identification, if the rep function ever makes it back, that is)

Speaking of trucks and the US: More chrome, more stripes, more mass ;) : Dodge Ram

Western star 4700 with heavy duty front fender, please tell me it flattened that stupid smart.......euhrm, thing.





*edit*, looking at it again, it could also be a fairly old Freightliner..... which hood later became the standard Western Star hood, it's complicated :p

Spotted this couple of mint 928 GTSs the other day.

Regarding the numbers in the back windows, they must have been taking part in some kind of classic car rally.

i think you're right. it seems like it has the more vertically designed WS grille.
 
I spotted this poor car was at the swap meet in Joplin this weekend.

1970 Porsche 911 Targa. To me the car needed everything. Peering behind the drivers seat I could see the trailer it was sitting on. I couldn't bring myself to ask the old man what the asking price was. The old adage of, if you have to ask, you can't afford it was rattling around in my head. Let alone what a restoration may cost...
 
Saw this yesterday. Awesome :)

 
When I was pulling up to this M3, I thought it might be an aftermarket wing held on by tape, but I was obviously wrong.
