The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[adamlstr]

Cars & coffee yesterday,

I thought we agreed Cars and Coffee spots were illegal in here, it's more out in the wild spots that we want?

Like this, just now...

This is right up there for me, best colour by far.

There’s room in my lottery garage for a Rosso Corsa F355 in manual, right next to my Rosso Corsa F40.

Anything from Maranello after 1999 just doesn’t cut it for me.

I think it would be the first car I'd want to buy and drive if I won the lottery, completely perfect.

I saw a LY 182 here in Jeddah earlier. Couldn't get a picture unfortunately though. Didn't expect to see one of them!

 

[Cookson]

Saw this tonight. I bet @leeds_182 will love it.

Don’t even know what it was! 488?
I’m lost with Ferrari’s since the 458

Sounded epic even in slow traffic

Yep, 488.

Saw an old Jag SS100 on the motorway but couldn't get a pic, never seen one before.

Was behind a Merc earlier with a stumpy looking back, got closer to see that it was an A series, A200 to be exact, didn't realise they made a sedan version, looked odd, also didn't get a picture but it is one of these.

I think that looks better than the hatch to be honest. The rear of the hatch hurts my eyes.

Few more Saudi Arabian spots...

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

And more...

Charger Hellcat

Alfa 4C (beautiful but I didn't fit in it)

I didn't know a Nissan Patrol Nismo was a thing, but apparently it is:

 

[cat171]

A purple flip Porsche 991 GT3 earlier, with reg GT03 XBT. It looked fantastic!

And the other day a woman driving a Yellow V reg Golf 'Colour Concept' Convertible with yellow centre Recaro's and BBS wheels. I've not seen one like that in years.

I always wanted a yellow colour concept, but the Mk3, with a VR/R32 engine swap.

 

[Tez.]

Council cool !

 

[cat171]

Actual Escort Cossie wheels too, and not just Escort GTi ones!

 

[Tez.]

Im trying not to ask him to sell it to me ! Ive been told the wheels are worth more than the van .

 

[cat171]

The wheels are like rocking horse s**t now! I remember 'back in the day' when they were about £500 a set (whenever they came up for sale, usually because they were either nicked, or the geezer had put Rondell's on)

 

[cat171]

From Reddit titled 'The Stig on a school run' Imagine if your dad came to collect you in his 512 TR !

Yeah I remember that too. They were quite a popular mod on normal Escorts, RS Turbos and Saph Cossies and the like, but the prices have gone mad for all that stuff now.

That's it! They looked s**t hot! Even on FRST's 😎

I bet they drove f**king terribly though. I had a few MK5/6 Escorts with 17x7J rims and the tram-lining was monumental

 

[cat171]

They're 16's..in 8J

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Yeah, bonkers really. Quite a wide offset too as I recall. Something like ET25, so about 15mm wider than most Fords. They do look good though!

I’ve seen a few of these about and love ‘em. That one even has a JMY plate 👌🏼

Great on the FRST, horrific on the ERST

 

[Short Norman]

ford did some wheels on the Escort Gti that looked similar to the escort cosworth wheels, but I don't think they were as wide. I've seen these on ERST's but never seen proper escort Cosworth wheels on anything other than Cosworth's (escort and sierra).

Well other than the van above.

There was also a company that made replica escort Cosworth wheels in 18" size. They looked much better than the standard 16's.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I always preferred them on the RS option seven-spoke wheels myself, especially the diamond cut ones. Didn't think the curvy spokes of the Cosworth wheels suited the RS Turbo ever so well.

 

[Cookson]

My old ERST Cabriolet after I sold it and it got put on RS Cossie wheels. Did no approve.

 

[Short Norman]

look at the stretch on those rears
