I think it was a Rolls Royce and not a Bentley. Beautiful car (silver/red is one of my favorite combinations) in good condition. Not concours but more like a really nice driver.

My dad thinks this is a '49 Ford with a Buick grill grafted on to it. I bet Terry could confirm

I just realized the extra door handles on the stretched part of the RR. Interesting.

You can select multiple files when uploading to photobucket. Click each file while holding the [CTRL] button or click the first file you want then [SHIFT] while clicking the last file.

Ya maybe not an exotic or "desireable" but if you saw this in person you'd flip like I did. Pic doesn't do justice. These wheels were a bit smaller than a monster trucker. How are they even legal?

This guy has been driving this completely street legal Batmobile around my city for a couple months now. I have no idea what it's built on, but it's awesome.

I'm not sure if this counts for this thread or the WTF car thread...but it's pretty desirable to me so I chose this one.





...and apparently he's got some sort of flamethrower thing in the back there so it can actually shoot flames.

Switzerland....$$$$

First, let me apologize for the shitty quality of some of the photos. Several were taken with my iPod Touch. Also forgive me if I incorrectly identify a car.
In addition to the cars below, I saw...
In Geneva...an all white Rolls Royce Phantom, a Maybach, a Ferrari 599, a Bentley Mulsanne and at least one more Aston. Also a bad ass looking Porsche Panamera Turbo S
In Lucerne...a white Lambo Gallardo
In Zurich...at least 3 other Astons and a few more Ferraris

Bern

Aston DB9 (I think)


Geneva

Sweet looking Mini


Ferrari 430


Fiat 500 (Ferrari)


Aston Vantage


Bentley Arnage (?)


Rolls Royce Phantom


BMW C1 Scooter


Zurich

Aston Virage (I believe) Would have gotten a better pic, but about the time I was going to take it, I realized my camera was off.


Aston Vantage (maybe a DBS)


Ferrari 599


Fiat 500 Abarth (one of several)


Aston Vantage (parked right down the street from the hotel)


Ferrari 599 and California



edit:

Ferrari 612 in Zurich. Dude driving it not much older than me...if he was.

Excellent! The black Bentley is a Flying Spur and the Rolls Royce is actually a Ghost, not a Phantom.

That's also a 360 CS, much rarer than a F430.

derp....
I know next to the nothing about Bentleys.
Ah...the grill on the Ghost should have given it away.

It did have the stripes of their limited editions, but I was fairly sure it wasn't a Scuderia.

I feel like a noob. Just waiting for Yumcha to berate my identification (mis-identification) of the Aston Martins

I believe all of the Astons are properly labeled. The only other thing is that in the 2nd to last picture, the one with the California in the background, that's a 612 in the foreground.

BUT you spotted some awesome cars! I'll be lucky to see a Ferrari once a week around here.

Saw this on Route 17 in NJ. Kinda hard to see in the first picture, and I took the 2nd too soon





Then 10 minutes later I had to turn around (missed where I was going) and saw a Spyder version . But it passed me too quick for me to get a pic.
