The "I just saw a...." thread

[thebrochureman]

Ogled over some nice Porsches at the Zentrum in Zuffenhausen. The museums are all closed on Mondays unfortunately, and it was my last day in Germany, so I just went into the head dealership across the street.

One thing that caught my eye was the mileage on a yellow Carrera GT at 75,000 km. Good to see the previous owner got some enjoyment out of it I guess.

Apart from that, some guy up the street from my grandfather has a cherry red SLS AMG. Looks and sounds impressive.

edit: forgot to mention I also saw a white Porsche 356 and a grey colored 300SL Gullwing. They looked very genuine, and I have a hard time believing that their owners (two old men in felt jackets smoking pipes) are the type to drive replicas. I've got a picture I will upload soon.

Yes its nice to see supercars with high Mileage, its show people have enjoyed them rather than just locking them up in a garage and not using them. I’ve just seen an Aston martin DB9 parked outside my grandma’s house.

I realize my eyes might have deceived me, but I thought I saw a dark silver F10 M5 passing by me this morning as I was sitting at a light. It did have SC tags, so maybe some kind of NA test run based out of Spartanburg?

I just saw the sun light reflected from the mirror on the wall mmmmmm pretty much boring, I know Im at work so....

I saw an International Scout the other day spray painted in an olive drab.

I saw a BMW 8-Series V12, just rotting in the street in a shady neighborhood. Broke my heart a bit but I can imagine it'd cost at least $20k or $30k to bring that back to life, wouldn't it?

I also saw a G-Wagon.

It wouldn't be cheap, I hear those engines are a little temporamental.

Also two unusual taxis, a Renault Laguna and a Audi A6 Avant.

Speaking of cabs, i saw a weird one last week, a new Merc E class estate -350- cdi... 350!

Some sort of Hispano-Suiza. Probably an H6.

Looked curious amongst contemporary cars.

Coma and visit germany. You'll like it .

Saw many nice cars on my weekend trip to Berlin: loads of AMG's, two SLS's, a Ferrari 430 Spider, many Mustangs and ridiculous numbers of gangster-style S-Classes... not to forget the X6's which are monsterously popular here.

Oh, and not to forget the big VW dealer in the inner city who also sells Bugattis and Bentleys.

[thebrochureman]

last week i saw a Aston martin DB9 at my school, got the person to rev the engine although it didn't sound that great for a V12. Also i saw a Bentley Continental Supersports.

[ScionDriver]

Oh there is a dealer around here who has a Bentley Arnage sitting in the showroom, can't figure out why, or where it came from. This isn't a city with a class of that type.

[Timothy (in VA)]

Been a while since I've been a regular here.

I saw my first Chevrolet Volt, a red one, on February 9 on the Roosevelt Bridge heading into DC. Other than that, not much - a Lincoln Continental Mark III, a couple Maseratis and Bentley Continentals.

Speaking of unusual taxis, I saw a Chevrolet Cobalt taxi in DC recently. The Toyota Venza also appears to be increasingly popular with cabbies.

[Kitdy]

I've started seeing Fiat 500s on the streets and in dealerships.

Exciting!
