The "I just saw a...." thread

Making up for lack of actual Formula SAE competition pictures, pictures from Formula North...

Haha, of course the Finns showed up.
I like very few cars with Audi badges, but that is one of them.

They were on a long trip...I think Akron hosted them a week before FSAE, they stayed in Akron until Formula North this week, and they are finally going home after this....I think all in all they spent 5 weeks in US. This will also be their last gas car....they are going to Formula Electric too...

Saw a Datsun Nissan Maxima, with the hood ornament and all- excellent condition, no rust. I kind of want one.

I love how redundant the name is.

Also saw a Toyota Camry, probably from the early 80s in excellent condition too.

I love old Jap cars.

RM, many thanks for the FSAE shots even if from a different event. So cool.

Bahahahaha Ryerson beat U of T, Queens, Western, and Guelph overall.

A pretty bad showing in terms of ranking from the Canadian universities.

Oh well, as long as the three schools from Toronto sucked ass I am happy.

I know this is kinda a silly thread, and it is likely no one cares what I or anyone else sees, but I saw an E30 convertible and a 1970 Chevelle SS in blue with white stripes on the roads beside my house. Cool!

I forgot to mention, also of note at Collector's Studio was luggage owned by Ettore Bugatti himself, which I think was made to fit on the back(?) of Bugattis.

The information blurb beside the luggage recommended some Bugattis that it would go well with. What was left unsaid was that the purchaser of said luggage would also surely own the Buggati it was meant to go with.

EDIT: Embarrassing triple post fail.

Must have been Historic day on Perth roads

I saw a gaggle of old Ducatti and a Layland P76 Targa Florio

[csl177]

^^^ Had to look up Leyland P76... seriously, they named a big 4-door saloon after the Targa Florio?!?

[Cyco]

According to Wiki, there was a limited edition of 300 Targa Florio for an obscure reason.

I'm not a P76 enthusiast, so was very intrigued when I saw it as I couldn't imagine that there was any connection at all.

I've seen the new Merc A-Class. And I've sat inside. And I've touched everything.

I saw a couple nice cars yesterday in Chinatown.

A vinyl wrapped GT-R with blacked out wheels, headlights, tail lights and indicators. The vinyl looked like brushed aluminum or stainless steel. Interesting to say the least, not sure if I like it though.

A Mitsubishi Evolution with a nice set of Enkei wheels.

And a Fiat 500 cabriolet (?). I didn't get any shots of the interior, but the exterior looks immaculate. It looks absolutely tiny next to a Camry, which isn't so large by current standards.

Saw this in Parramatta yesterday:

That's '75 or '76 Ford Thunderbird really clean too.
