This place is insane! I've seen an Enzo, 4 Audi R8s, 3 F430s, 3 360s, 8 Maseratis, 12 Aston Martins, 3 Gallardos, and way too many Bentleys to count, and I've only been here 36 hours
And of course, I got a ride in a baby blue Continental GTC from a complete stranger within 6 hours of arriving
Only I could pull that off. I was lost and asked him if he knew where my street was, he looked it up on his GPS but couldn't find it, and drove away. 30 seconds later he pulls up beside me and pushes the door open, says he found it and tells me to hop in man that car was nice, and really friendly guy too
I'll post pictures later, no time now

Watch out for strangers in baby blue anythings!
Don't want you to dissapear and cause some international crisis.
Promote the website, maybe someone will ship an Enzo over for a drive.

From the looks of all the pictures, it was apparently to spot cars
Definitely nicer cars in London than Dayton/South Bend!Great pictures Andrew!

Only the Diablo and white RR are left hand drive cars.
What kind of plate is that on the RR?

Notice the plates on these two 360s: guess they were confused

Added a lot more of course
I'm in love with this car.. first GT3 RS I've ever seen
Finally, a V8 Vantage that wasn't gray or silver
Cayenne, XKR, Superamerica, Veyron, Phantom, 599 GTB, Cayenne, and 997
Unfortunately the manager of the Dorchester is a dick and I only got this one crappy shot of the Veyron before he told me not to take pictures and that it was private property..... the valets at the Hilton even offered to take a picture of me standing next to the Diablo! What does he expect, with all of those cars lined up?! I saw lots of other people take pictures without getting told off. Some day I'll drive up there in my F50 and say, "OH wait, I'm going to stay at the Hilton instead since they weren't pricks to me when I was in college"

Yeah. Again today, tons of people taking pictures so I slipped in and got some. Two Veyrons this time, an SLR, and a Drophead Coupe
But other than that I've failed at spottings today.. I've seen a black Gallardo Spyder, gray 360 Modena, black F430 Spider x3 (probably the same car), blue V8 Vantage convertible, and white vintage Bentley, and didn't get pictures of any of them

It's a Nissan Figaro.. they are all pastel colors. I've seen pink, yellow, blue, and green. I don't think it's sold in the US
I don't think we'll get any members

Sixth Veyron I have seen in my life, a Centenaire edition
I've added a few others too. I'm not walking around looking for cars anymore like I did the first few days.
anybody know who this is? Dressed and acted like a celebrity.. pulled a guitar out of his Gallardo so he might be a famous musician. Also had a few guards watching his car. I don't recognize him though

I think the normal LP640 looks much cleaner and better than the SV

I don't like that grey on the SV... I feel like it should be yellow or something else flashy just because of what it is
