What's the most fantastic car you've ever seen just drivin' around?? - Page 17

Teggers · 18 Oct 2009, 20:23 (Ref:2564015)

Yesterday, passing my shop I saw a Porsche Carrera GT, gorgeous Datsun 240Z (Well, I like them

) and a rather nice Dimma 205 GTi. Ok, that last isn't really that exotic or 'fantastic' but I love them and will always regret selling mine.

It was definitely moving ! Not a kit car but the genuine article, the bodywork was looking a bit tired though

The one at the kit car show was the genuine article,it was parked in the clubs display area rather than the trade display area. I don't think anyone would be daft enough to build a replica!!

That's a nice little ride to have for buzzing through rural Connecticut

Yes! Lime Rock has some FANTASTIC cars driving around during ALMS weekend. We were tailing a Ferrari 308 on the way up this year on the Saturday.

I was sat outside a cafe having a cup of tea awaiting a job interview when I saw the time machine go by...yes a Delorean, the greatest crappy car ever made.

I must admit every time I see a new Nissan GT-R drive past I cant help but stare...

I used to see a delorean at the dog park, guy used it to transport the mutt for walkies.

Saw an audi R8 at the lights the other day, but yesterday a mclaren SLR went by me as I turned into the street.

My school bus goes past a house that 99% of the time has this mustang parked outside it

My friend took that picture on his phone when we walked past it one weekend. Every day I make sure I sit on the correct side of the bus just so I can get a good view of it out the window

I also went to London a couple of weekends ago and saw an orange lambo murcielago with the number plate '2 5EXY'. I also saw a classic Bentley with the number plate '1 WOO'. Loved it

While riding my bike when I was about 15, now 51, Between Reigate & Dorking, A real red wide arch proper cobra, straight through exhausts the lot, Loud Red with Gold Stripes, several years later discovered it was driven by a guy called Stephen Langton, well known historic dealer who lived in Reigate. Tragically he was killed some years later, I think at Brands in a GP historic support race, great shame, I had met him between times he was a very nice chap.

More ridiculous, a couple of years earlier, the ludicrous Rolls Merlin engined monster built and used by John Dodd, believe it was only just built at the time, he was trying it out on a dual carriageway at South Holmwwod near Dorking. I along with some mates saw this, we were in total awe!!!

Tim the Grey · 6 Nov 2009, 14:12 (Ref:2577013)

My old Boss knew him, and that car, well. He worked for the Rolls dealer where he got most of his parts...

Having entered an earlier thread, an update.
My dad worked 'on the building'. In the mid 60's during a school break, I was about 8 years old, he was excavating a huge hole in a road on an industrial site in Dorking. There was a wine merchants called Burton Sheen who also had a string of off licence shops around Surrey. Minding my own business, what comes around the corner to park, the owners son in a bright yellow road registered GT40,

I have been hooked on them ever since, two mates have KVA's, fabulous cars.

JHamilton · 15 Nov 2009, 07:20 (Ref:2582182)

I've seen one thrashed at my local body shop, but for the first time on the road I saw a Spyker C8 cruising down the interstate last week. It may not be the fastest thing on the road, but man, what a statement it makes.

b1ackcr0w · 18 Nov 2009, 17:27 (Ref:2584361)

I happened to walk by Peter Wheeler's Tuscan R at Castle Combe a few years back. The paint job and overall condition of the thing was utterly magnetic.

The only other thing that had that level of effect was an original BMW CSL from the 70's after a stunning restoration job. Sitting in between the Mondeos and Nissan Micras it caused a full on double take before I realized what I was looking at. Another case of stunningly ugly and beautiful at the same time.

zefarelly · 25 Nov 2009, 20:52 (Ref:2589220)

on the road . . . . . M25/23 junction, travelling home, cruising at 80ish, got overtaken by an incredibly relaxed looking gentleman . . . .in a DB5.

he looked far more incredible than the chavs in an RS2000 who vaguely attempted to give chase

A growling snarling yellow Scuderia 430 with a stunner at the wheel cruising around Bologna

Bologna or heaven??

Saw a 2010 Mustang parked in a small town a couple of weeks ago. Not a great deal (& didn't do a lot for me) but they are a very rare thing here, buy the time they are imported, converted to RHD and complianced they cost 3-4 times the US price.

Belatti · 9 Apr 2010, 18:06 (Ref:2669610)

A couple of days ago I have seen an AMG SL65 like this one but all in black.

A beautiful and mighty but very heavy machine.

NITRO35 · 15 Jun 2010, 06:49 (Ref:2712397)

A Ford GT40 (a real one), ah, the sound of the motor...

johnh875 · 16 Jun 2010, 09:37 (Ref:2713054)

This is from a couple of years ago and slightly cheating because it was at a show (although there were only a couple of trailers and 2-300 cars), but has anyone seen an NSU Wankel Spider before?

johnh875 · 22 Jul 2010, 03:39 (Ref:2730448)

The other day I had a Ferrari Daytona driving a few cars behind me, not something I have seen "in the wild" before.

Went to Carb Day a couple years ago and went by a couple Ford GTs.

This is from the BBC news site today (in Chelsea). They disobeyed parking rules and so a clamp got put on a Koenigsegg and a Murcielago:

Suze · 21 Oct 2010, 08:18 (Ref:2777806)

Saw an Avenger towing an Avenger the other week on the M25, didn't expect to see that.

Zico · 21 Oct 2010, 10:47 (Ref:2777870)

I saw an absolutely stunning Silver Aston DB5 the other week, a few miles from where I live, absolutely pristine! it made my day. Cant be very many of these around.

Just like this..
