Earlier tonight on the way back from walking the dog we saw a Land Rover LR4 coming toward us with a severely screwed up air suspension. It was mostly hunkered down low but would would bob up and down in an irregular pattern. It's like the suspension was pulsating.. Must have been quite the ride. It drove like one of those wobbly wheeled kids toys.

Nice little 2nd Gen Eclipse Spyder Turbo spotted in the mall parking lot today. Good size intercooler on it as well.

Oh we both had a good chuckle over that as even my wife noticed. The look on the drivers face was the most comical part

Bentley Flying Spur.

Wouldn't think twice about seeing one in Yorkville (GTA) but here at my local (Cambridge) coffee shop it stands out a little more. He even parked it between a VW and Kia.

CTCC trailer

Cool. That looks like a double decker trailer. There may be two cars in there...a primary, and a spare.

Maserati Merak, nice.
Thought it was a Z-car ahead in traffic, caught it and ogled. It was beside a MR2 turbo

Just ready to get into my truck this morning when i heard something interesting coming down the road. A couple of seconds later a Ferrari 308 GTB(?) drove by. I stood there for a few more seconds and listened to the lovely snarl of the engine as it continued on down the road. They may not be fast but they look and sound glorious!

^^Nice! The 308 is one of the most beautiful cars ever.

What!? From where and did this guy have other Ferraris and Alfas? I hope it is not my friend who has a 308...

Lol, no this one has been around for a while now. I see it around a few times every season. Unfortunatley, your friend's is probably in a container somewhere out in the ocean.

Don't know all the details. Just a friend of a guy I ride with.

One for Bubba.

KD · « **Reply #12435 on:** October 05, 2018, 05:27:45 pm »

Saw this rare little gem while in Moncton today. I prefer the looks of the clown shoe Z3M Coupe, but this would do...

1961 Pontiac sedan - Very similar to my old one. Canadian car so a Strato Chief, Laurentian or Parisienne.

I'm in Fargo, North Dakota.

At my hotel, I saw a 2018 Buick LaCrosse Avenir wearing Illinois Manufacturer license plates.

Being located at the door of Old Montreal, I see plenty of out-of-province plates around the office. Even a Grand Marquis with Saskatchewan plates! But yesterday I pulled a few cars behind an odd RV. It was a narrow Class C based on a current Sprinter, buit it had - get this - two axles in the back, single tires at each end. Probably 4x4 (or 6x6?) judging by the height. Cab was a dark colour, maybe black, RV section was battle-grey covered with black graffiti-like graphics. No bling nowhere. Licence plate was hidden by traffic and a big military-style duffel bag attached somehow on a hitch. I could see the branding on the upper right rear, a stylized "Bocklet", plus the German "D" sticker. Cool rig!

I looked them up online and could not find the exact model I saw, but to give you an idea:
