Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently! - Part 2

[F12Berlinetta]

Spotted during Easter ^^

Saw the owner when I was walking towards my car and told him "nice parking job."

 

You see that curb? A few mins after he left a lady rapidly comes in her Rapid - she did not even try to touch the brake pedal. She used the curb instead.

 

:clap:

What is that colour? :p And WHY?!

 

And why would anyone get an S-Max without alloys, they're not exactly cheap Ssangyong MPVs, they're decent cars! (I know scott hates ford so i'll be in for a bit of h8 later but shush, they're critically acclaimed vehicles :p)

 

What do you mean by Rapid? Aston Martin Rapide? Or is there a car called Rapid that i can't seem to remember right now

[The Compensator]

Probably a basic 2nd hand car and the hubcaps got stolen. :p

 

I meant the Škoda Rapid.

[CarMadMike]

Yah I did think there was a Skoda Rapid, was meant to google it but got distracted haha. They really don't sell well in the UK, I've just checked and I'm surprised to see they're actually on sale her, the Fabia does better.

[The Compensator]

Same here. The Octavia is the bestseller here, followed by the Fab.

 

As much as I don't like Škodas, the Octavia RS and the new Superb look really good. I like the RS in yellow or that flat grey.

Spotted a lovely F-Type coupe the other day

Had a look at a Jaguar Mark II 3.8. I was told it's an original race car with an inline-six recently built in the UK up to factory spec, although the guy who is working on it has modified the cooling system as these cars like to overheat. It was a rusty shell with the cage already installed, then repainted here and the guy is getting it all together. It is all original sans the exhaust, brakes, and mandatory safety features such as the Sparco buckets and fuel tank.

It will also be on original factory wire wheels, black with the center lock? in chrome. The color was kinda ivory-ish.

I think this is the only car I've seen that looks good in matte black. The wheels kinda throw it off though, they don't match the car.

Ofcourse easy 'spotting' when they are standing for sale, still though I don't really see these often, including non-AMG SL's of that generation (R231), often labelled in the media as a car with questionable styling, maybe that's why it's so rare :lol:.

Both the GT-S and the F-Type should never have the fixed rear wing option ticked. Jesus. The F-Type SVR's fixed wing isn't too bad a thing as that car is a 200mph+ rarer car and the wing isn't as ugly as the non-SVR fixed wings.

 

They've both got amazing rear ends, and it completely ruins them, especially since they've both got active aero anyway, what's the need? Is it small penis syndrome again?

[calster17]

I saw a brand new face-lift SL on dealer plates (not registered yet) today leaving Dundee. The Driver was NOT waiting up! (Rapid seem's a understatement to say, and was 'only' a 400!)

 

Also, finally saw a Smart CrossBlade :D

 

 

Yes, i really need a new phone, as this one is pants for photos with any sunlight.

I agree. It totally kills the rear end.

For some reason, I remember that the Crossblades were popular in Mallorca 12+ years ago. I've seen a few there, and even my grandma still remembers them to this day.

[calster17]

It's the first & only one I've seen, doesn't appear to have been more than 100 sold here, Robby Williams bought one though...

This one was a was a JDM import.

Some wonderful in the wild shots there F12. The muted colours add a sort of coldness yet classy feel to the pics too.

Nah, I was just asking because I'm following some Polish guy, too. His photos have a similar vibe to them.

 

Gud pix, man.

[calster17]

Dont see enough Z3 coupes! Love em! :) (But oddly hate the convertible...)

 

Can't help but see the amount of Bini's in the background of the photo! :lol:

[The Compensator]

 

It was sooo tiny

 

It's an Aero from the 30's, don't know the model. Aero was a Czechoslovak company if ya didn't know
