Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!

mike65 · 2005-05-16 17:32:10

Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread. I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I :D Mike.

I was out in my Stag yesterday first time in a while, enjoyed a nice drive. You know when you havent used it in a while and then get back in and go for a spin you fall back in love and it really puts a smile on your face.

As we drove I saw this Merc Coupe

The other week I was in Dundrum and saw this

And by the look of it out there I may just take another spin again today

is that where he went? I followed it up through Leopardstown but got caught at lights - I agree the flat 12 sounds awesome, thats what made me think its the real deal as opposed to a fake, but I didn't get a good enough look at it.

I saw the same Ferrari in Stillorgan last year and I can assure you that it's definitely the real thing.

Bet it spends quite a lot of time parked by petrol pumps like in the pic.
Pretty enough looking alright, but would you ever use it to it's full potential?

yes! - btw I think the way it looks is fulfilling 80% of its potential. I grew up wanting one of those, still in my top 3 favourite Ferrari's ( and therefore cars ) of all time.
