I saw an Jaguar XK75 this morning - Or at least an XKR with the 75 decals on.

 

Yesterday I was blessed to witness an M5 powerslide from a junction!

 

And I shall be putting a picture of "my latest purchase" on the thread later ;)

Forget Subtly by tWm., on Flickr

 

I'm rather spamming this thread.. :/

 

Erm... I think you mean "subtlety" there. ;)

E39 or E60? It's :drool: either way, though. Also, would that "latest purchase" a car or a bike?

Saw a Older Yukon denali big deal. But was talking to the owner and he said it had 600hp! It also has Straight piped exhaust and a biggggg supercharger. Sounds like this..

 

NNNnnnnnnnnnnwwwwnnnn..... Whommmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... And then the loud gargaling drool coming out of my mouth as he floored it out of the petrol station. It also had 22's.

Went for a drive today, saw a variety of things. Yesterday was a 60-degree (Fahrenheit, people, I'm not from Mercury) day, so all the muscle car owners obviously spent the entire day cleaning the squirrels out of their cars and were too happy to be turned away by today being below freezing with snow on the ground. So naturally everyone was out with their Camaros and Corvettes. I even saw a perfectly restored Chevrolet pickup from about 1950, light blue with a fully-covered spare wheel. Looked awesome.

 

And in my own town, I saw this, which I believe belongs to a local business owner (I see it in the summer from time to time, usually in the exact same spot):

There's another business owner who drives a yellow Esprit V8TT, if I catch that (and if he still owns it) I'll post it. And another who drives a custom-made, one-of-two RUF RGT Cabrio. It's pretty rare to see that one, though...

Yeah was a fairly epic day in the Uk for Supercars, they should have put them all together and had one HUGE meet!

and what's that Maserati called?

 

That Maserati is not on Wikipedia. However, in my forage there, I have learned that Maserati has built some HIDEOUS cars. :eek: In fact, most of their cars are hideous. They had a few hits that no one's every seen (Ghibli II in particular - it's like a two-door RS2. Look it up.), but other than that...

 

Anyway, that one above looks a little like a Ghibli, but it's definitely not (no lower grill and the dip in the top is a chrome strip, not part o the body as seen above). Now things get interesting. If anyone finds anything, do tell! :)

Plate check returns that Maser as a Merak... not like any Merak I've ever seen..

 

I too cruised the Maserati car list and as Leadfoot said.. it's pretty awful in places.

Maserati Bora GR4 racing car converted to a road car, is my best thought.
