I'm a fan of the LP400 without the wing (or any of the Pontiac-esque body cladding for that matter)

These were both parked in front of the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday. The Huayra has been parked there frequently for at least a week now if anyone in the area wants to see it in the flesh. More Beverly Hills Veyrons. These were parked behind Bijan (the self-proclaimed "most expensive store in the world") on Rodeo a while ago.

Delivery McGee posted:Y'know those sofas styled after the rear end end of a '57 Chevy? I'm seeing an untapped market in that vein for full-sized racecar beds. I can get a desk made from a 737 engine cowling or a conference table made from the horizontal stabilizer of a DC-3; why not a queen-size bed in a hollowed-out classic musclecar body?

This may just be fond Gran Turismo memories talking but I always dug the Castrol livery on that Supra.

slidebite posted:That's something I found different with museums in Canada/US vs Germany. If that was in North America those cars would be, at the very least, behind ropes. If not lovely people would be touching "trying to get a better look" and parents would see it as permission to let their kids run roughshod and touch/get into everything. Germany there was respect to not touch.

 A Pontiac dealer called "Gay Pontiac" would be childish to find humor in. Same dealer using rainbow livery however, is some solid gold camp.

If you spend any time in Beverly Hills or the San Fernando Valley you're bound to see Jay Leno about in something a few times. I've seen him just driving around Beverly Hills in the Blastolene Special, and last time I saw him he was driving through Sherman Oaks in a Citroen SM with a huge suitcase stuffed in the passenger seat. Even when he's doing normal stuff he's driving one or another of his sweet cars, I love it.

 I found a copy of the May 1999 issue of A-Cars, a Japanese magazine for fans of American cars. I'll post some more later if people are interested, but this was my favorite page, because I think this is the most stoked anyone has ever been on a 90s GM dustbuster van.

As a bike wrench, I can tell you that whenever someone came in and proudly announced they were an engineer of any kind, I knew I was in for a pain in the rear end customer that thought they knew everything, actually knew exactly enough to get themselves in trouble and nothing more, and was gonna stand over my shoulder the whole goddamn time.

 I was walking around and I spotted this. I barely noticed it, all the details are so well-done and subtle. Obviously it's a Silvia front-end on a 240SX coupe, but it also has a 5 lug hub conversion, Z32 brakes, and S14 OEM alloy wheels, the net effect being that there's a ton going on here that most people would have no idea wasn't stock because all the visible parts still say Nissan on them. I have to love how low-key it is, and I can only assume interesting things are happening under the hood.

My 2012 Yaris will do it, it was the only way to stuff a BikeE tandem (one of few vehicles dorkier than my Yaris) into it.

Is this from one of those Mad Max LARPer "Wasteland" car shows? That poo poo is like steampunk in that it could be cool but nerds have totally ruined it.

I just came back from 2 weeks in Japan, and while I didn't do anything cool like rent a GT-R I did take pictures of interesting cars I came across! Huge pic dump ahead. My first few days in Tokyo were disappointing, car-wise. While I did see a Morgan 3-wheeler of some sort rumble by in Shibuya, I didn't see any uniquely Japanese Automotive Insanity until I got to Odaiba. Stepping out of the station and walking by a parking lot, I saw this:    Itasha! A Nissan Gloria turned into a rolling shrine to MyMelody and Kayo Satoh, a transgender Japanese model/TV personality. I managed to track down a page about the car and its owner.   Also tucked away in the lot were a EK Civic Type-R and a Cappuccino. As it turned out, the Tokyo Motor Fest was occurring on Odaiba that weekend, so I wandered around. Forgive the harsh lighting in some of these.  Honda Beat    A nearly full set of Nissan Pike Cars: Pao, Be-1, and Figaro. Just missing the S-Cargo.  Some other weird Japanese Nissan. They also had a collection of bubble-era sports cars, complete with models in period-appropriate garb. Normally I'd be unimpressed by car shows putting girls with cars, but this was kind of cool.      Also nearby was this food truck, apparently some sort of Kei van with a Citroen kit.  MkIV Supra, parked by Kawaguchiko in this spot every day I was there, but still super clean in spite of its under-tree parking spot.  Spotted this sweet Toyota Liteace in Kyoto.   These were wasting away out behind some sort of performance-car-oriented business called Espirit near Kawaguchiko. The Integra (???) had a covered pickup bed in place of everything behind the B pillars. Reminded me of something I'd seen done to 180SX drift cars before, and the line of the window doesn't look quite right for an Integra so I think that might be what it actually is. donut fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Oct 19, 2018 |
