Wow, was that the dealership? Were you able to sit inside of it? Really cool.

Nope that's a friend's house. I went down for dinner and the car was there, a friend of a friend came in it. When we left I could hear the lovely straight six roar as it went away. I would've liked to bring the XF 4.2 along and photograph both side by side.

Of course, after yesterday, I now need to put a Mark 2 in my life.

You Torontonian are much more trendy and douchey....

You are TO at heart, bro.

[RacingManiac]

Technically I am more of a Mississauga person....since I think TO people don't like the people from suburb(especially Mississauga) that much...

But pacific islander might be even more accurate...:P

[Kitdy]

Yes, yes. And I am an Etobicokian with a split identity; TO and Etobes, represent.

Sauga and Scarberia suck.

Also I hate Leaside and North Toronto cuz of their rep hockey teams.

Yesterday, as I was driving along in my tiny little sportscar, I saw a Lacer Evolution. An eight, I think.

No big deal.

As it passed me I noticed there was a lovely brunette driving it.

I nearly crashed.

[Kitdy]

Sexist. Are you single currently?

[Ferrer]

Sexist. Are you single currently?

Yes but I'd gladly change that status for the girl in the Evo.

Yeah I know, this is way overdue, but you guys wouldn't believe it if I told you.

Earlier this year when I was in HK I saw a couple cool things.

Like possibly a McLaren MP4/4. I'm not sure if it is, but the livery is around that era at least. Believe me, I would have gone back but I spotted it way too late while I was on a double decker bus.

Also saw some JDM goodies- Integra Type R and the 4 door Civic Type R.

Not sure if they were badge engineered clones though.

Also might have seen a Clio V6 tucked in the back of the parking garage back there.

Along with my first Frogeye Sprite.

I would have gotten photos from the front if I weren't in a rush and if the car wasn't jutting into traffic.

Also saw a CLS Shooting Brake at a shopping mall. The local Mercedes dealership set up a small exhibit showing off the B Class and A class which is very, very cheap in Hong Kong.

There must have been something going on somewhere because, between Windsor and Blacktown today, I saw a red late 1930s American car (Buick perhaps?) a red late 1940s/early 50s Citroen, a red and white 1956 Chevrolet, a red Austin Atlantic convertible, a grey early 50s Vauxhall convertible and a big black late 1930s American car - don't know what it was but it had the initials "LaS" on the bumper.

While driving around in the neighborhood adjacent to ours:

Last night I saw a resto rod late 1930s Buick, bunch of punk ass kids got out of it and their idiot friend in a pick up truck showed up and gave me a scare. Burning rubber in a parking lot aisle is not funny.

Yeah it's the same car but I didn't see the Pick up driven by the idiot.

I spot this in the same block.

I wish I'd gotten out of my car and got better pictures maybe next time

What I presume were four test mules for the upcoming second generation Volvo XC90. They had XC70 bodies, but the bumpers and exhausts were mismatched, the arches were crudely flared, they had tons of electronic equipment inside and had Swedish number plates. In the picture, two can be seen; a further two were behind me.

Days ago I also three prototypes for the next generation Mercedes-Benz Vito van, although I couldn't take pictures of them that time.

God, not another SUV...

They make those solely for the US market and we gobble them up anyway.

C7...this time a soft top....

Saw one of these electric Fedex delivery trucks and they look like they came from outer space. Very futuristic and cool looking. Makes sense too, as the diesel fumes they used to emit smelled really bad.

And I think I saw a Chevy Nova in front of the 5th Precinct, Chinatown, NYC.
