Post One Random Automotive Picture Per Day

[The Compensator]

I think he was rebuilding the garage so didn't start from the scratch and sometimes you have to work with what you have got. And the cars are kind of my style, too, especially the M3 as it is manual and Mineral White Metallic, which in direct sun looks pretty cool even though it is "just" a white. My favourite 991's are the 50th Anniversary and the Targa, so maybe I'd choose one of those instead of the GT3 and if I were going for a track day type of 991... Cayman GT4 it would be.

 

However, I'll be happy if I get something just as cool as his garage & cars in my life. :)

I didn't mean anything against white cars, I love them, it's just if that 911 was white too it'd have made the garage look a bit dull and sterile.

 

They're my favourite 91's too, and yup i'd be more than happy with them.

Oh, yeah I agree definitely. One white car out of two is definitely enough. I don't like white 911's in general at all to be honest. That blue is in my opinion one of the best colors to get on this generation of the 911 and Cayman/Boxster.

 

I'm struggling with the color palette of the new M3. It lacks some classic shades of blue and red IMHO. Would probably end up with the metallic white or calling BMW Individual.

You can just tell that every single tool will be exactly where it should be in that garage, categorised/alphabetised/itemised and whatever.

 

Not a criticism though.

 

Exactly as it should be, so much easier to get things done when you know exactly where to find the tool you need for the job.

The owner of the house own's the 3 cars on the left, the 2nd countach is a friends.

[The Compensator]

I knew it was Harry before clicking the title. :lol:

[CarMadMike]

Yah, very recognizable collection AND home. *waits for scott to enter the thread drooling*

 

He said in a few tweets after that pic that the countachs were £55,000 and £65,000 in 2010. That seems like such a bargain! They've rocketed in price now haven't they? He'll make such a huge profit from his.

[The Compensator]

60k? :eek: Well, he knows a thing or two about buying classics... But I really didn't know that Countachs could be had for under 100k just a few years ago.

 

I think the only car from his collection that I know he has and won't appreciate in the future is the Fiat Panda, haha.

And the 2015 Range Rover, which i'm sure is already worth half it's RRSP :lol: Though I doubt he fully owns it, most likely a company car.

[The Compensator]

Yeah, I think so given that now he works at JLR SVO. That SVR he had in the last vid, though. :drool: And even more, the Project 7. :drool:

So while at Halfords (Big chain store for car stuff, for the no UK guys) I came accross this while seeing if they had any headlamps thatd fit the Lexbus...

Because if you happen to own one of the 2 LFA's in the UK, you'll nip down to the local store for a bulb. :lol:

I think I prefer the non M-Sport F10 5 Series, I don't like the way the body kit fits the body at all.

 

A well equipped and specced out non m-sport model can still look pretty sporty but much classier and less 'wannabe boy racer with tank-like diesel engine'.

[The Compensator]

Yay, finally someone else chimed in!

 

Hmmm, I'm not the "sport package all the things" type but I think this gen M Sport 5 Series is the perfect blend of sport & class. The 4 Series Gran Coupe looks better in the Luxury Line trim and some dark blue or black paint, though, as well as the 6 Series.

Everytime I see those models of Lexus I think of the IS300 I had in NFS UG2.
