Exotic Cars on the Street

Amen. They are so stuck in their design philosophy that they feel compelled to create every vehicle with the exact same styling cues.

haha, maybe he had to sell them off for liquidity, if he invested badly

this is honestly why I think he got rid of them. If I do ever see any of them, I promise to take pics and post.

I saw them on a Ferrari 250GTO (drool) a few years back and fell in love with them on vintage cars.

You should post a warning for those of us at work before posting something like this. Need new pants.

This and the Caparo T1 are very interesting vehicles!

This was what I thought, too.

There is someone who owns an Atom close to where I live. I see it quite often when it is sunny. I saw one that had 'ENZOKLR' as the license number.. cool!

It's only recently that I've come to appreciate the beauty of the 928.

Here's a couple of snaps that are appropriate to the thread. Poor quality, just taken from my phone back in February while on a bike ride to Geneva and back. Lowly DB9 and CLS behind it...

Took this in Italy while heading to Cinque Terre last September. You can see just to the right of the Enzo the sign for a tunnel...we went through at least a half dozen of them and put the windows down for each, it was pretty fantastic sounding.

You can see another tunnel just ahead.

This was on the same drive. The car is absolutely minuscule, which is obvious when you consider the perspective of the shot which was taken from a Mercedes A-class, which is small in itself.

This wouldn't be anything too wild if they were the normal variety, but that's an LP560-4 and a Vantage V12 (aka DBS). Snapped the picture just next to the Nurburgring in early May.

The next few [terrible] pictures were taken on the same day. This 997 GT3 RS came up and passed us doing about 250 km/h on the Autobahn so getting a decent picture wasn't easy.

And we came upon and passed this, which was not in a hurry.

Aston and F40 are nice

F40:

Crazy post -- the F40 and the DBS are incredible.
