They are cool, but very common. Usually just post the more unique cars I see otherwise these posts would have a million pictures lol

You know what I mean, very common as in I see them every Sunday. Not common on the street lol

Case in point there was 4 new Focus RS on Sunday, I LOVE the car and spent like an hour talking to one of the owners (he even let me sit in it hehe), but I didn't take any pics.

Next time I see a 350R I will post it up I promise! For now here is a pic of another GT350 I spotted

Went to a British car show at the park by my house. Lotus 23 rolled up. I think it comes up to my knees.






Jay Leno came out again with his 1962 Daimler SP250 and his 1930 Bentley with the 700hp 27 liter Rolls Royce merlin engine.


Tons of other cars there as well too many to post them all.

Catarham next to a Lotus Elan next to a Lotus Esprit and there was another Esprit next to that.


Morgan 3 Wheeler



Cosworth. Love this car.



Lotus Exige. I am such a Lotus fan, I would love to have one of these. Also Lagonda in the background.


Lotus Super Seven. I believe it was a 1964.


Some very cool cars.

This one was 1 of 24 imported from Germany to the US according to the owner.

Good eye it is indeed an Escort Mk1.



There was a few Aston's. The Lagonda which you can see in the background of one of the pics. Someone else brought out what I think was a silver DB4 but for some reason I don't have a pic of it. I could have sworn I took one but oh well. It was very nice.

Seen in the wild today: BMW I8. Forgive the low-quality of the pics--shaky, hand-held, 6 year old iPhone.

[In my snobbiest English accent...] I must offer a correction to your statement, my good man. That is an Aston Martin Vantage Volante. We don't refer to such fine pieces of machinery as "roadsters."

Here are a few of the pictures I took today at COTA. I finally got to see an IMSA race, and it was great!

M5 or M6? Which one would you take?










Sorry for the 7am lighting. Also my composition in that last photo was terrible I cut out the M6 badge.

Both cars were in amazing condition inside and out.

2014 Factory Five GTM (500+hp, 2400lbs, 0-60 under 3 seconds)










Pretty cool car, my first time seeing one. It definitely has the presence of a supercar. Seems like a good deal for only $90k. (That is what the guy was asking for those who noticed the For Sale sign in the windshield.)
