Just got back from a 2-week road trip and managed to take a couple neat car pics. Click for huge. Drove alongside this Maserati for about an hour and a half through northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania.   This Aston Martin Vantage (I think) was parked in the underground parking for our hotel. Never saw it moved.   Parked outside the hotel for a day, never got to hear it.   The rear end of a vintage something... my phone is absolute balls at night.  And the front end of a '60s Olds, barely got this pic... apparently my phone is super slow too. The plate said 60 OLDS.  There were a half-dozen Maserati Granturismos in Vancouver, plus I saw my first Audi R8 in person. Black convertible, sounded like death in a tuxedo.

This is the first time I've seen one of these in over a year, and as far as I could see, it was stock!

That looks a lot like my home town, San Francisco. Maybe somewhere in the Sunset or Richmond, given the fog.

Is there any backstory to this guy? Just a farmer with ~8 million dollar worth of supercars? Not sure about the 8 million part, but drat, he has a lot of nice cars.

Last I read, they had found out who the owner of the estate the Rolls Royce was driven in was but that's about it. As long as they keep making videos, I couldn't care less though. Pretty sure it's the son of the guy who started Foxtons estate agency, and his mates. More money than god.

A shitload of people were really mad that he would "thrash" and "hoon about", "ruining" the cars. I thought it was the greatest affirmation of the cars' pedigree and a huge FTP to all the purists.

"That was a good lunch. Think I'll talk a walk down the street. Hmm, why are all those people standing around over there? Oh. Huh." Box of Kleenex on the floor.  Don't know who this guy is, but he gets around. I found pictures of the same car in London. (These are in Reston, VA).

I don't know if this is exactly the right place to post this but I think it's awesome and it's AI, so I'm putting it here. My stepdad just got me a voucher for Gotham Dream Cars, which is one of those dealies where you get to do laps in an exotic car; this one is via Groupon and it's for Golden Gate Fields in Berkeley, CA. http://www.groupon.com/deals/gsm-logistics-inc-108 I just made my reservation and they only have time slots left for the Monday Sept. 23rd date. But for $99 it seemed like a good deal to get to drive a gallardo or a F430 spyder.

I really wish there was still a cell phone pictures thread. I can't decide where these pictures go, but since these guys choose to drive these cars at 75mph on a highway and they still seem to have floor pans, I'm calling that pretty AI. (even though the cars themselves are pretty terrible) I was driving back from dropping my car off at Energy Suspension this weekend and saw these two guys following each other. I assume from a drift event or something. Also my mother took these shots with her iphone since I was driving. I think she's missed her calling as an auto photojournalist. Click for big.

Thought I'd share a pretty AI pic from my youth; My dad had a Peugeot dealership. In Georgia. No, it didn't go so well.  At least he didn't buy into the Alfa franchise that was for sale at the time, (even though that would have been cool)

There's a thing on this site about 80's digital dashboards. Some of it is pretty terrible, but most of it is pretty sweet.

My newly acquired project Daytona has a digi dash, and quite honestly one of the reasons I decided to take it on.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onsJ9i2p3yE not mine, but someone ran through the entire test sequence WITH the talking module, which I have.
