Thanks Ravi! Those are just a sample of what I've seen over the last few years.

Supposedly there's been an Enzo and a MP4-12C at the Raleigh C&C in the past but I've missed those

Yeah the McLaren is a bit tame looking compared to other cars in that price range. I just want to say I've seen one in person

That was the one and only time I've seen a Noble in person. I have another picture of it, I'll have to find it and post it. I guess this thread can be my TL/random car picture thread

Thanks Jeremy! I'm nowhere close to being at John's level but I do enjoy it

And now you realize why I was pissed about the weather

I knew you would like those.

Here are some more:











...



Sean, dew it...



And here are some more shots of the Noble. It's a M400...







Old picture but this shows one of Eric's many stages of his TL. Next to his TL is his brother's S2000 with the full Spoon kit...



mmade22's TL which inspired me to do the tails...



We were almost twins! I got the front lip a few weeks after this picture was taken...



Oh yeah, I forgot this one...



This one too...



I think that's it

Noble M400! Mmmmmmmmm! Love the pictures Tyler! I've only seen 1 Noble in person, and it was the M400 in Midnight Blue. Amazing! Love the new Noble M600 as well!

Looks like a great time. Wish they had something like that up here.

What car are the Noble's tails from?

In reference to the local MP4-12C owner:

yup he's a big-wig / ex-big-wig for GSK I believe. Rumor has it there is a "secret" garage that hosts his collection in Durham somewhere.
AFAIK it's off limits to the public. I know the rough location and it is supposedly very "hidden" in an unlabeled warehouse type building. Serious collection too. I wouldn't be surprised if that 959 in your pictures is his. He has one of the only road legal models in the entire country. Also so other REALLY rare ones, 1 of 1 on one of them, one that he has the only version with certain trim models, older racers, every model you can imagine. My buddy who works for "XXXXXXX" got to go inside with some people he was with that had a special invite to view it.

LOL Top Gear reference -clapping-

If I could have 2 cars in the same class it would be the 458 and the MP4-12C.

I love that Clarkson refers to it as a fax machine. Yes, it's very cool, but I feel like it's a bit over the top with all its fancy things.

Also 458>Fax Machine

The 458 has more spirit I think. I do love the technology in the McLaren though. I think it looks awesome too.

My girlfriend's 2012 Elantra had some recall work that needed to be done so we dropped by the local Hyundai dealership yesterday.

Most Hyundais have these cool cutting edge designs...but usually look dated very quickly.

Plus, their prices are starting to reflect the product...in that they're charging enough for them to make you consider other brands again.

^^I think they look sharp because they still steal design elements from other successful marques, like a bunch of plagurizing fags

But since Tyler looks to be about 9, I think that's probably what he's trying to accomplish.
And by old he's just hoping to not get carded to buy tampons!

I think Hyundai, KIA and Ford are 3 brands which have stepped up their game in the past 2 odd years....

I remember hyundai elantra and sonata were and now they are
