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

[LeonOfTheDead]

You see, I prefer Blenheim Palace with wheels.

Deal. I'll take two.

DeTomaso Pantera in an awesome shade of cinnamon red. Great noise, too.
Some sort of Silver Cloud. I think a II.
And to top it all off:...

A tinted and smoked Continental GT in an awful shade of puke orange, with matching wheels.

yeah, seen quite a few restored ones, which is a nice change from seeing them hot rodded all the time.

Yeah, I don't like it when people hot rod a perfectly stock car. I mean, the car is original only once, and since it's out of production, there are only a limited amount of them left over. A rusted junker that you decide to hot rod is another story- it would have been thrown out instead.

I have been seeing a lot of the new Acura TLs. That is one horrendous looking car. Whoever is in charge of Acura's new design language needs to be publically flogged.

I know. It's sad.

That's not its main problem though.

What is?

Sure. Aesthetically, I used to like the GT, and even as a maxi grand tourer.
My main problem is the people who own it.
But that's relative, Glickenhaus owns a Cayenne after all.

What, so cocks have moved from BMWs to Audis, to Bentleys now?

I think some people own a Cayenne because they wanted a Panerama, which wasn't out a couple years back.

If you own the P4/5 and you wanted a Panamera even 10 years ago, I think it wouldn't be a problem.

Alfa 147 GTA, Chrysler 300C stretched to a massive 2-cars length, Audi S3 mk1, and something else I don't' remember

DB9, RS4, RS6.

What is?

The fact that it's an expensive Volkswagen.

I want old England. With wheels.

What would have been the equivalent of a Panerama 10 years ago? My memory doesn't stretch back that long.

S Class? Jaguar XJ?

I get your point. Sort of what James May was talking about when he was talking about the new Rolls Royce convertible.

I saw a V8 Vantage convertible yesterday. Sounded really good.

This past weekend, my family went down to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for my cousin's wedding.

Sightings:
- blue Audi TT-S
- red Porsche 911 GT3 (997)
- a pair of tractor trailers loaded with Buffalo military trucks
- black Saab Sonnett III (looking rather forlorn at a shop in Moyock, NC, next to a stripped out black 1960 Dodge)
- silver Porsche 911 Turbo (997)
- a tractor trailer loaded with humvees emblazoned with the red crescent

If 10 years ago he wanted a luxury sporty sedan from Porsche, it wouldn't have been a problem.

I just saw an Equus VL450 V8 GDI. I had to google to find out what it was.

me too, and I'm still wondering what it is.

[henk4]

a large Hyundai. (it might have been the car of the Korean Ambassador in Bishkek)

Even the new one is called "Equus", but since all the results in google were written in some asiatic language, I was a bit confused.

[cargirl1990]

2010 Ford Mustang convertible ( it had a car rental sticker on the back. )
2009 Chevrolet Corvette convertible.
1966 Chevrolet Chevelle which was up for grabs.
