Murcies bore me The LP640 is like the regular Murcie tuned and with a bodykit
(just kidding, just trying to get the last word on the joke)

Really though, 911s aren't super-common over here, but Carreras aren't that great IMO, just expensive. Turbos and above are nice though. (996s are less interesting though.)

Speaking of, I saw a Cayman and a 997 convertible (was pretty far away, couldn't tell if it was a Turbo or a Carrera though) today.

I gave up caring how cars looked a long time ago. No real petrolhead should care, some of the oddest looking cars are the best. Take the R8 for example, it's oddly proportioned and perculiar looking but it just works, and it's probably the fastest and most usable point-to-point daily driver you could ever imagine.

Hmm I disagree. Well it depends on your defintion of "petrolhead". To me, a real petrolhead is someone who loves everything about cars, not just the drive.

Even if a car looks boring or weird, you can always spice it up a bit with new wheels, paint and/or bodywork. You just need some imagination . . . and preferably good taste!

Haha, put that above imagination... I've seen some thing's people can come up with.

Yep, there goes that Kia STi lookalike again.....*shudders*

Oh and ss, since I'm probably never going to be able to drive anything like that I'd have to go buy either looks or reviews. 'Cause at the moment my dream car is an R35 GT-R, which to me both looks menacing/awesome and watching the TG review seems like a great car to drive too, just don't be an old fart like Jeremy otherwise your neck will give in to the g's

my friend is spicing up his echo a bit too much. I'm doing all I can to stop him from turning it into an utter rice bomb...

Saw a Nismo 350Z, yesterday, and a California Edition Mustang, today.

Saw a Mustang Bulitt and a Subaru Alcyone SVX today, couldn't see them up close though .

Does anyone else think this should be retitled "Car Sightings" like NFSCars's rather than "coolest cars youve seen"? It's really fitting that description better recently.

Oh yeah, saw one of those, today, too.

Once again saw MIDNYTE making a run down the main street. Gloss-black 300C rolling on 21's. Pimpin'. Not to mention the silver SRT8 300C rolling around too.

Why? everyone knows this topic by now, and well the topics name is pretty clear IMO.

Yay, saw a R8, silver.

Just a few days back I saw a Murcielago in the city, completely forgot about it... It was the older model, and when it launched from the lights, the exhausts were vibrating like mad, and the SOUND!

Anyhow, THE coolest car i've ever seen is still the F2008 f1 car, but that's not something i'll be able to drive to work is it...

Saw approx. one million euros on the road today.

-2 Cayennes Turbo
-3 M3(a black one with a mad exhaust)
-a red F430
-Mansory Rolls Royce Phantom(parked near the F430 and a Range Rover Sport HSE)


And we( me and my dad) managed to get our Yaris( 1.4 D-4D Diesel engine) to 200 km/h.

That rolls-royce alone is worth more than the rest of them...

Anyhow, 200km/h on an 1.4 Yaris??? WTF? HOW???

Its top speed it's rated to 190. Some new filters, good gas and that's it.


And yeah, I forgot 'bout the FJ Cruiser.

Sorry, that's crap. It's gear limited to 118mph and without modifying the box, it wouldn't be able to hit 200kph. Additionally with the lack of power from the 1.4 diesel, I'd be suprised if it could even hit 110.

In fact, the top speed is 106 according to Toyota.

I found that hard to believe also, I got 180 from a 1.0 on the clock and it took me a lot of time to reach it, and all on a very flat road, I don't know if you are talking about the new or prev gen yaris, but then, they both have the same engine in the diesel, and the new one is a lot heavier so it will go slower.

But to stay on topic:
Today I saw:
- AC Cobra in white
- Aston Martin V8 Vantage in black with black rims.
- Audi R8 2 cars (1 black 1 grey)
- Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
- Bentley Continental GT Convertible
- Chevrolet Corvette C4 (1 black 1 very dark green)
- Ferrari F355 GTS 2 cars in red
- Ferrari 360 Spider in grey blue
- Ferrari F430 Spider 3 different cars (2 red, 1 gunmetal)
- Ferrari 575M in dark Blue
- Ferrari 512TR
- Ferrari 599 GTB in black
- Lamborghini Diablo VT in dark grey
- Masserati GranSport in black
- McLaren Mercedes SLR (silver)
- Porsche 911 (997) GT3 (1 white 1 black)
- Porsche 911 Turbo 3 cars (997 in red, 997 convertible in black, 993 in blue)
- Several other Porsche 911's from dif. eras

All in 1 day in the city... well actually I did see alot of them driving around, but I saw the all together in the city centre because there was a rally for sick kids,

In the Summer in Vancouver, Canada i saw a Lamborghini Reventon. I have a picture. Just need to get it off my phone. It was a random find lol. I was playing football outside my sister's apartment when this beast drove by and stopped at the intersection.

I also saw the BMW X6... not as cool as the reventon

Speaking of the title, I really wish I would've at least capitalized it :S
Then again I was only like 12 at the time..
(15 now =D)

I swear there're NO nice cars here in Texas!
I used to live in the rich part of west coast U.S. and id frequently see rare cars (and beautiful women), but now all I see is beat up trucks (and fat ladies with sticks).

-hidden-

Took us 3 years to fix the title, but we did it!

I saw a bunch of amazing cars last weekend, but this was something I didn't expect to see:



I was disappointed to see that the carbon fiber was just a fake vinyl. The car is pretty cool in person,though. And when I talked to Sam Hubinette's team, they said they'll be using the Challenger next season.

Also,



More photos here.

zomg NSX-R GT, do want.

I went to Adelaide this weekend and while I couldn't take any pictures of these cause I didn't have the camera on me, I saw:

BMW 6-Series Convertible on 21s
Hummer H3
S14 widebody with carbon-fibre roof on white body
standard but still nice S15 in navy blue
Porsche 911 Carrera
Evo IV (bloody nice despite its age)
LJ XU1.........numberplate on a Toyota Corona (seriously....wtf?)
