Topic: Interesting things seen on the way to work thread

Not on the way to work, but after playing basketball tonight. One of the guys just got this over the winter after selling his McLaren 720.
He's going to England to pick up his new toy, 650S.
I sat in the front seat for a minute and the seat was awesome. The seat bolster was so tight that I wasn't very comfortable.

gorgeous

Are those the standard seats?

Nope, they're the optional carbon fibre buckets. Just under $6k.

Seems reasonable - at that price you almost can't ~not~ get them

And of course, it was not power operated. I had to reach to the right pull handle to move the seat back all the way before getting in.

On the way home last night, I saw both a red Guilia Ti and a dark grey Stelvio.  Both on the Hanlon within ~30 seconds of one another, travelling in opposite directions.

Wait...they were both travelling - they weren't dead on the road!  (yet)

^ Nice winter beater...lol

lol wow. I guess I should stop being afraid to take my lowly Camaro out today......

That night was the second time he drove it. It only had 100KM on the odometer.
I'm sure he had fun yesterday with the weather we had.
If you guys see this car at Calabogie this spring, that will be him.  I doubt there is another one in this colour in the GTA.

Do you know why he is going from a Mclaren 720S to a 650S?  I thought the 720S is the newer model that will eventually replace the 650S.  According to the video reviews i have seen the 720S is a much better car.

Seeing what cars from my birth year look like make me realize just how old I am

Saw a Camry Wagon this morning. 

Holy crap....I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw one of those. Not exactly pretty is it.

[Firm]

That Camry is missing the dual rear window wipers; those were it's coolest feature.

And... when I was out briefly Tuesday afternoon I saw a red 4C being rather vigorously exercised.
3 functioning Alfa's in the same city?  Could be a world record.

Haha, i actually saw one of those yesterday and was thinking the same thing.  It was on the other side of the divided hwy but even at that distance i could tell it was rusted really bad.

very funny hehehe   

cant wait to get mine out of the barn and exercise it vigorously on some back roads.

Yeah, the Camry wagon that I saw was rusting pretty badly.  Had a trailer hitch too.

Such an odd design, the ass end looks so droopy and the roof has a convex shape to it.

its so weird that they made it so ugly when that era of Camry actually wasn't a bad looking car. Its like "ok boys, we need a wagon...... I know, stick half a porta potty to the back end of the Camry, job done!!"

That D-pillar was definitely odd. The contemporary Accord wagon was far more handsome, though likely less practical.
