Yeecup, where do you work to get so many supercars outside?

 

[Gally]

He just stalks George Street.

I work on George street. It's the place to be and be seen for the it crowd, nice bars restaurants and shops.

 

[yeecup]

Yes, in the grand scheme of hypercars and 918s it looks bland. Even in comparison to the metallic blue one 001 it's bland. That colour suits the GT3/RS/Turbo better.

In your opinion of course.... In the flesh I thought to it looked stunning.

I saw this yesterday, have seen it around a few times now over the last few weeks. Not the most exciting car on here but rare for the shithole area I keep seeing it in!

 

[brisa4984]

excuse the caffeine eyes. FFS

 

[Ray Gin]

There's a 1985 911 Carrera that is always parked on the high street near me, looks in pretty good condition. I'll post a photo in a min

 

[yeecup]

I love old Porsches

 

[The_Pirate]

Seen a BMW i8 for the first time yesterday.

Your eyes would need to be painted on. What a horrific car that really is!

 

[Gally]

There seems to be quite a few of them around now Danny. I passed one in the showcase car park last weekend and then one the day after in Glasgow.

1 or 2 in Edinburgh, only seen one in Black so far.

Looking through this thread, I can't believe how many of the super/hyper cars posted have shocking wheels. All the 918's have awful wheels, do Porsche not offer a decent set? Also, the wheels on the Zonda. I agree with Gally to that the blue on that 918 isn't the best, it does look a bit like a Noble, again, magnified by the overly bling alloys.

Also, if you go to a race track, or a car meet, or a garage, it's not really a spotted is it...

 

[Gally]

The option wheel on the 918 is stunning imo. The standard wheel is a bit meh but futuristic and is all about weight/strength.

 

[AdDaMan]

Cant understand the i8 hate on here. Awesome looking cars when painted In the right colour.

 

[aucky]

I saw a ~1955 Mercedes 190 SL on a quiet backstreet in Chiang Mai.
It was dusty and a little tired looking but in tact nonetheless. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it!

 

[terryc101]

No word of a lie, just spotted a laferarri in Maidstone, exactly the same as this.....

Don't suppose anyone else has seen it? I couldent get a photo as it was genuinely going too fast. It was stunning! Where did I go wrong in life :-(

Seen it half a dozen times in various places around maidstone in the last month, someone's certainly making use of their new purchase.

 

[terryc101]

Couple of recent spots while out and about.

This had been stuck behind me and polo for a while so pulled into the right lane and pulled away in anger, sounded amazing!

Was even more in shock when I saw this coming up behind.

From memory, these were 128k new - i seen one for sale at 250k.. How the f**k can something Porsche made no money from appreciate so quickly?!?

 

[cat171]

Dunno mate, that might be why it was LHD.

 

[withoutabix]

Have been seeing this lately

Love Valencia orange!!

Mate they started appreciating almost as soon as they were being delivered.
Chris Harris bought one on PCP had it a few months and made 30k on it. 6months later it was worth 60k more. Crazy.

Its just unusual for something so new to be in so much demand!

Limited weren't they? 5/600?

First i've seen in the flesh, actually quite like it.

Spotted in a shithole area in Southampton driven by a really young chinese guy.

[yeecup]

So this was back yesterday. Guy that owns it also owns the blue 918 and the red integrale. #winner

That's almost perfect, needs the spoiler removing though. It's just for looks doesn't do anything other than create drag iirc.

 

[Short Norman]

Blue Rolls Royce Wraith with white boot, bonnet and roof in sportborough (sunny donny). Looked a little out of place but still very very nice.

Sadly no pic's as I was driving...

 

[peedee]

Spotted on the m23 the other day. Does nothing for me, but anyway.....

 

[The_Pirate]

Seen an orange Lambo LP700 tonight.. Absolutely amazing!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Makes me laugh how out of place those mirrors look LOL

 

[AdDaMan]

LP560-2, White Aventador, i8, F430, Cream F12, 3x Californias, plus lots of others. Standard day in the city blud.

Good spot, what's going on there they aren't standard?

Makes me wonder if it's a replica now.
