The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

What's this, some kind of Jaguar?

First one of these I've seen in public. Was a lovely mint colour, which hasn't come out very well in the photo...

The back of those look awful imo

190e on the M6 this morning

 

[Hixle]

An MC12 and then an MC20 in one week?

Again, a bit of a cheat as I was at Marinello, but the first I’ve seen in person. I kind of like it, but also think it looks like a GTA car.

 

[Gally]

I like an MC20, I think they will be appreciated like the alpine a110 the longer they are out. Give me white or that cool blue.

Saw one of these on the school run this morning. Why have I never heard of a Levorg? Quick?
View attachment 1736404

Bit late, but there are 2 variants of the Levorg. If it had a bonnet scoop like your pic, it was a 1.6 (they also did a slower 2.0).

Nice to drive, if a bit dull - and pretty pointless. Not a replacement for the Legacy really, that was officially the Outback. Similar size though.

Just seen a Jaguar Project 8, sounded epic. I was driving so didn’t get a photo.

Shame that it had a two tone yellow/grey wrap on it (may have been some form of promotional wrap).

I do love the P7 OR P8! Great car for the collection!

Lovely sunny evening so popped down to The Reindeer pub near Retford for one of their Thursday night meets. First thine I’ve been and it was daily busy.

Mine with some Italian company

This F90 M5 was lush. Ceramic brakes, laser lights etc

Always thought the M2 wheel look better when they’re fully silver like this

Nice Z3M coupe

Fast yellow Audi

Z3M coupe is a proper legend car 😍. So many of them have f**king ugly wheels though. I didn’t take a pic but there was one I saw at a show last year on a square set of CSL wheels and it looked incredible. Just imagine this but the wheels silverer.

I also really like the F90 M5. Wouldn’t mind one one day. We live in hope 🤣

Love a z3m coupe!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Agree on the silver M2 wheels, looks so much better.

Another car that was slated for its looks when released, amazing how tastes change over the years

 

[Short Norman]

yeah the Z3 looked cracking, although I'm not sure silver is the best colour for then.

Had a look at F90 M5 Comp's on AT and they start at low 40's for a half decent one so still need to fall a bit to make them tempting.

Lad from my local curry house had his starlet out tonight.

Wow. Love how absolutely ridiculous that is... any story behind it?

 

[Pep]

No idea I’m afraid.

That's the one from Goblin Garage. It was completely grey when they did it.

Not sure if this is the right thread but f**k it. A colleague took me out in this yesterday, as he is super proud of what he's done to it. It's had a 6.2-litre engine swap (I think it was 5.3 as standard), then he's added a different cam, long tube manifolds and a different inlet manifold. He's just had it mapped and it's now about 450bhp. God knows what it weighs, but it felt way too fast for the big f**king boat it is, and the brakes are woeful (as we found out when we nearly ran over a Hilux that pulled out in front of us when he was doing about a tonne). He now wants to add an even bigger engine and a supercharger. He's nuts.

Two Nismos, rare ones too.

Just imagine the disappointment you'd feel looking at that.

Bet this will have some lovely swirls in it once they’re finished 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’ll probably have that self healing ppf on it. Or at least it should have.

Dunno how the wheels will last with brick acid wheel cleaner they use.

Even with PPF I still wouldn’t want to risk it myself! And yeah, those wheels will be fucked 😂

Also spotted this about 20 mins later

Genuinely adore DC5’s 😍

Seen a few of those Lotus Eletre about. Absolute monstrosity.

Lotus should have stuck to their low volume sports cars that they are famous for not these vulgar EV pieces of s**t that seem to just get terrible reviews.

Carbon ceramics disintegrate if you use certain wheel cleaners😬
