I saw one of these - a 1953 Bently R-Type on 128 north of Boston last Thursday - just humming along, with dealer plates - who knows, maybe a Boston forumite has it...

I've seen a bunch of wild things, but the two that stick out are an original NART Ferrari Daytona on the street (local vintage racer owns it) and a Lambo Avendator, not so much for the car, as the plate -F178- driven by the only guy in Pa who can legitimately lay claim to that.

This thing was parked up on Saddle Peak on Saturday. I honestly have no idea what it is, but note the Formula 1 style detached steering wheel (I assume taken off in order for the driver to exit the vehicle).

I saw a Porsche 959 in Marin County being driven by a lady in her 60s. Which was a very surreal "just some lady driving a car" scene juxtaposed with how almost comically rare and expensive the car is.

I think you caught mid-transformation, between being a car and a robot.

Tom Price, owner of the largest Ferrari collection in North America, stores some of his cars by our house. Driving by his garage last week I saw something very special. Although, my photo only shows a glimpse.

I was riding through Laurelhurst a while ago and a guy passed me in a silver Fisker. He looked just like central casting's take on a Fisker driver ... a younger Larry Ellison.

The original Super Mario, no doubt!

Here's one I don't see every day. Audi R8. Look into that back window and there's an engine sitting there.

I saw a Volkswagen XL1 in my rear view mirror near Stalden Switzerland last summer.


I also saw, not one, but TWO gold-plated Rolls Royces in Lazise Italy.
