Nice looking 928, always was a big fan of those.

Likewise.  Hopefully, I'll meet the owner some day.

Enjoying the new neighbourhood?

Meeting dogs and 928s isn't so bad?

Loving the new neighbourhood.  People are friendly, as are their pets.  :)

Of course this happens, don't see any XJRs before I bought mine, and today run into one in French Racing Blue it seems, with blacked out trim and wheels. Could have been a 575, didnt get a good enough look.

Never seen an XJ in that colour, love the XF-R in that colour, and nearly bought one too.

It's more like you start seeing them because you own one.  Neither the Aerio nor the C30 are particularly popular cars, but as soon as I bought mine, I saw them everywhere.

(Yes, the XJR is a much rarer beast, but the principle still applies.)

Parked my Sonata next to a crunched one. Spoke to the owner who said it's going to be written off.   :'(

Is the crunched one same year as yours?  Maybe you can buy it for a parts car  :rofl2:

Seems to be a different year, it has the solid coloured taillights instead of the amber signal/reverse lights that Bubba has.

Don't forget, last year, I switched my taillights for 2006-07 units, so that I could have the amber turn signals.

Spotted today: Jeep Commanche and first-gen Acura TL; the Vigor's successor, which kept its longitudinal engine layout.

I'm guessing that's about a $150 000 - $200 000 rig right there.

That is super cool! I'd be hanging around hoping they would come back so I could check it out more.

Down in Dundas saw a Bentley Bentayga (SUV thing), yawn. Maybe it was Tooscoops? Then saw an Audi 100 Wagon, something like this one. Found this more exciting than the Bentley. Can't be many of these left on the road.
