This has been a fun thread type on another forum I'm on maybe others will share cars they come across. Saw this 904 Carrera GTS at a charity car show in Victoria BC Sunday.





It is actually owned out of Vancouver, but is apparently being restored by Rudi Koniczek (the Gullwing guru). It looks pretty flawless now. Prior to this I've only seen one in the Porsche Museum.

Sorry you lost me on the 300SL my fav colour too.

Here you go. It's a Washington car, apparently 1 of 26.


And a Gullwing for good measure.

My wife and I walk around the neighborhood quite often. On our walk, we go past a Ferrari dealership, a Macleran dealership, an Aston Martin and Lamborghini dealership and last but not least, a Rolls, Bently and Bugatti dealership...

Nothing too out if the ordinary...

That is nice, actually prefer the roadster to gullwing.

The new 911 RSR.
Michael Christensen and Patrick Long's GT Le Mans at Road America.

Today was interesting morning started with an Aston Martin DB7 Zagato, one of 99 cars made worldwide (12 cylinder, handmade alu body, shortened chassis, sports classic style roof). The one I saw was in a warehouse so my pics doesn't do it justice (it was navy) but here is a similar looking one.

And in the afternoon I came across this GT3RS4 which as one of 28 in RHD in UK was put up for sale at £350,000 ($580,000)! LHD models fetch around £100,000 less ($166,000).

Not quite exotica, but these cars make my daily commute so much more pleasant { shot from a moving bike in case you were wondering }:

Those are all pretty exotic, how about just plain weird like this Mini Moke that was parked on my street last weekend? Sorry about the fat finger.

Saw this in Munich last week and I still think its haunting me

What out of the ordinary cars did I see last week...a few. Each and everyone needs to come out to see what happens during this magical week here in Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula every year in mid-August. It's the most magical thing ever for an automotive enthusiast!

But today - Tuesday - the only out of the ordinary thing I saw was a lovely 1961 Chevy Impala Convertible (like the one in the photo but in red) parked on Scenic Road very close to my home.

Mike and Edd did a restore on one of those...

It was the Monterey photos that encouraged me to start the thread. I probably shouldn't have started with the seven-figure Carrera GTS as cars like the Impala are "out of the ordinary" and interesting to me, but I thought Porsche content might be a safe place to start.

I look forward to your future spottings, and thanks again for the "custom ordering" thread. We love our car's finishing details thanks to your guidance.
