Saw a red Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster a few days ago. These seem pretty popular.....

I saw a Lambo once, and 2 Ferraris, one was parked right beside a bank and the other beside a blockbuster shop. Love to see a Zonda or Koenigsegg CCX...

Had to post in this thread after my trip to work this morning.

Firstly I saw a sky blue McLaren F1 LM (I think - it had a roof scoop!) on the A32.

Then I was passed on the M3 later in the day by a bronze-coloured McLaren SLR.

Pity I was driving, so I couldn't get the camera phone out

This wednesday, while driving to work, I saw an Ariel Atom on the street.
I was like OMGWTF

The were 2 people sitting in it wearing red helmets.
It was an awesome sight.

I drove to the airport with my grandad to pick my mum up and take her home one day , it could have been over 100 miles and I saw too many Porsche's on the roads . I counted about 27 in total . Im sick of the site of them now . I like the old scholl Carerra and thats it but its still not as good as the TVR Cerbra .

There's a few TVR's living near around me, beautiful machines!

I saw an:

AMV8 - Black
Red F430 in a rich ass carpark

Red Corvette C6

These were on friday. Also, all last week i saw this Rover SD1 Vandan Plas (or smth) hardly a supercar, but the noise this thing made....orgasmic O_o

Haha, you live in the U.A.E, hell everyone there is richer than the next person (or so relatively speaking) It's possible everyday to spot a exotic at the mall, school or in your own driveway.

btw, i guess I better say "Nice pics though"

ZOMG!!!11!

Well, this is really cool for me because I live in an area where exotics like -Ferrari, Lamborgini, etc..- cars are almost not seen anywhere around. (Except NYC) So when I went to Boston, Massachusetts yesterday, I saw a Ferrari 360 Spyder.

Gray color. I didn't even expect anything close to the looks of that appear in Boston. Laugh if you wish but as I said, I don't live in a very urban area...

Post by **Pabl0z** » 01 Aug 2006, 16:05

Oh i forgot to mention it, and i think it's worth mentioning..
I saw a 60's Maserati Quattroporte parked just outside our house a week ago~.
I've never actually seen a Maserati irl before, and to see a 60's Maserati just outside my window was quite odd

.

I live in the UAE too ..I go to AbuDhabi a lot ....there are quite some exotics

Porsche Cayenne( there very common ...mostly customized)
other porsches
ferrari F430 & 360 ( quite rare)
ferrari Enzo ( stuck in a traffic jam wthout a number plate...prbly brand new)
BMW M6 (freakin arabs!!)
corvettes (seen too many)
so ..on

some tuners...skylines, supras etc
Its very hot here (40 degrees C) so imported cars have to be modified to suit the temps.

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 01 Aug 2006, 19:49

The Cayenne further up is one of the techart/kahn cars, I think...

Toshiro · Post by **Toshiro** » 01 Aug 2006, 20:33

On the way back from the airport, I saw an Orange Gallardo, and a blue DB9.

Whoah.

Sweet-16 · Post by **Sweet-16** » 01 Aug 2006, 21:56

there's a guy in town who's a mechanic and only works on imports/exoctics. so i went to check out what he sells as well. and he had a nice Ferrari 308 Quattrovalve for sale. Magnum P.I. anyone?

saw that F40 TT last monday, it sounds so awesome! i wish it was mine

then just this past weekend i saw a couple brand new BMW M3s and i think an M6 V10.. but i don't know my BMWs very well

Driving back to my office in Southampton from Reading today, I heard a gorgeous sort of whine coming up the outside lane of the A33 (even over Motorhead blasting "Killed By Death" out of the CD player). About 5 seconds later I was passed by a black Porsche Carerra GT as if I was standing still (even though my speedo reckoned I was **cough** slightly **cough** over the 70 MPH limit). Not sure if it was on a test drive, or whether the owner was a genius, as it had no registration plates on it.

Sweet-16 · Post by **Sweet-16** » 07 Aug 2006, 05:44

some people have all the luck...

just saturday afternoon i went out ot best buy to look at some new cards and computers. i look out the my right and parked slant-ways across two parking spaces was a brand new 2006 subaru impreza wrx sti! not really a super car, but the only one i've ever seen on the road! not to mention uber rare. these just came out i believe. and it had tags on it, not 30 day ones either!

I had a bit of motorway fun with an E60 M5 recently. Pretty empty M23 down to Brighton, see him in the wingmirror and let him pass, but it didn't take that long to catch him up again. They're quick cars, but the limiter on them really does stifle some of the performance. The Schnitzer cars top 200 and have over 60bhp on standard without the need for anything particularly extreme in the engine modifying department.

60bhp? WHOA!!
