I saw an M3 yesterday, it was yellow. My mom couldnt understancd why someone could want 333 hp (her: "Where could you use it???" me: "wherever the hell you want!! Or a racetrack")
being in a Suburban might have influenced her to saw that, what with its 180hp and 6000lbs.

Also saw a Diable drive by, but I'm hesitant because it might have been a replica. There are too many replicas out there.

Last week I saw a Viper GTS with a Baby seat!:bandit:

Lucky baby probly having the time of his life :D

Viper's must be quite rare in Switzerland....

Not really, if you walk around the town center for one day you'll see one for shure.:bandit:

i saw a bright blue M3 (e46) 2 days ago. saw one same color about a month ago. I always thought that the pictures made it look great. but.. when you see one in real life... well.. pictures don't do it full justice. it's a beauty.

Last night i was at my friends girlfriends house and her dad Z3 was in the garage, so i took a gander at it and needless to say i was awestruck. but that car has seen better days, there is a bunch of dust all over it. i was about to take it under my wing and give it a nice wash and a quick test drive, man i love that car.

very nice car...

surprising to see one in australia actually... it had been converted to right-hand drive

Danm where u live Pennzoil GT-R your very loucky too see them.

England, we dont get any restrictions on imports so we get any cars we want here. Wish there were a few more Mustangs, only Mustang i ever seen is an old 1970's type thing. the best two cars there, the F40 and the 1914 Roll's are both owned by the same people and i know them. they also have a 600hp road legal (somehow) racing Escort Cosworth. Thats easy the fastest car on the list.

ferrari 360, 355, f40
lamborghini countach, diablo
aston martin DB7
Lotus Elise, esprit
Tons of porsche
toyota trd aristo, altezza, mr2, supra

I wish the US was like that
The old 70's ones are cool

but i mean jeeze all i ever see is mustangs and cameros
its really retarted!

I saw a 1955 Mercedes 190SL today..it looked awesomw and looks exactly like new.

This is kinda late but...

I was at a car show and they had the G500/G-Wagon there and the guy let me sit in it. DAMN YOU CANADIANS ARE LUCKY... our armys hummers dont compare...

but im sure they arent' gonna have cd players and leather ;)

So far I've seen 2 or 3 in Canada and one in LA, we are lucky! I think the Army is supposed to get like 700, but not sure if the deal went through or not.

Cars I sawd in real life:

Silvia (S14)
Supra Turbo model
RX-7 Turbo
MR2 Turbo
all other cars are just seen daily

today i saw a couple of VERY special cars. first up i saw not one , not two but three Ford RS200's, one driven by none other than Stig Blomqvist.

Cars i have seen driving around:
4 Ferrari's: (2 TR's, 360, 328)
2 Vipers
Diablo
Bentley
Prowler
Buick GNX
4 911's
Chevelles, Novas, Camaros, Roadrunners
5 Z06

The odd thing is that all of these expensive cars were sighted in the last couple of months. Before then i never saw one nice car, other than the occasional mercedes.

and then i saw TWO examples of the best car im ever likely to see. A race version (green) and a road car (silver).

out here in los angeles, you see alot of prototype cars running around doing their EPA emissions tests. they pass right by my office on wilshire blvd, and on any given day, you'll see some weird thing drive by. of recent note:

04 nissan maxima
04 BMW 6-series coupe
03 BMW Z4
holden munaro/04 pontiac GTO
03 saturn ion
04 mitsubishi endeavor SUV
03 lexus GX470
04 toyota tundra crew cab
nissan xtrail (dunno why that was here)

all the japanese auto MFG's are HQ'd out here, so that might be another reason for all the 'sightings'
