Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently!

Leadfoot[YT] · August 22, 2011

Anyone know what this is? It had a silver Stingray badge on the side and I know it's a Chevy. But that's about it.

I can't remember, but I've definitely seen that before. It's probably the only thing of its kind, and I think one of those famous designers/design houses made it.

I found out what it is. A 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept. :eek:

If I'm correct then it's very rare. I found some shots of the same car at Silverstone from a couple years back. Much better quality. 1959 Corvette Stingray Concept | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

We were there most of the day. Mostly due to the fact that almost all people there have no consideration for others. It was hard enough getting into the circuit everyone was using the wider gates which are meant for wheelchairs and they just kept barging past us. No point trying to get anywhere else because it's the same everywhere.

I left at about 6:15am from Southend and got there at half 8, with nothing but an accident on the M25 to slow me down briefly, no trouble getting in, and left during the Megane race so no problem leaving. Ideally would've liked to watched the clio's but I had stuff to do back at home and had to leave early anyway.

But yeah, arrive and leave early is the only thing you can do to avoid the notorious queues that occur at Silverstone!

Still had a good day though, ears are still ringing from the F1 car and the 3.5s.

Ditto :)

Nice F430 Scuderia :P

The guy used to have a normal F430 I think it was with that same plate. I had a little wee when I saw it. My mate loved it and hes not even in to cars really.

NEED that plate!

Leadfoot[YT] · August 23, 2011

^Nice find! :)

---------------------

Not much to report, except that all the motorcyclists are trying to pack in their cruises, and occasionally there are some decent bikes (mostly it's just Harleys... :( ). There was a nice Ducati 998 a little while ago. :)

Wow an original Murci, your uncle is a very lucky man!!

Ryzza5 · August 24, 2011

One today the supercars of last decade will depreciate enough to be affordable, the question will be how appealing/reliable they will be compared to the cheaper cars of the future.

He's a Builder/Contractor

Wow an original Murci, your uncle is a very lucky man!!

Just worked his way to several Lambo's really (The Murci is his 13th). When I was at a car show Sunday (That photo). He said he has ordered a Lamborghini Aventador, it apparently will take about 18 months for him to get it.

I know the policy of Pics or it didn't happen, but I do believe I saw a green Lamborghini Miura recently, as well as a Toyota Supra, quite well tuned one as well. 420bhp thanks to a turbo, custom ABS brakes, and a decent body kit. Though the hood has holes in it apparently to keep the engine cool under usage, which if I'm honest puts me off a bit.

Sounds to me like drooling material. Can't beat a well tuned jap car!
