Drove by this on the way to get fitted for a monkey suit. Can't believe it was parked out on the street.

Not my photo but it's the same car.

Wow. the Veyron isn't my favorite car to begin with. though I respect the engineering in it,I think it's ugly even for a modern supercar. But in the right colors, it does look very purposeful. these are not the right colors, unless the purpose is to say " I have money, but not taste. " UGLY.

I totally agree with you about the Veyron in the photo and the model in general. I think some cars are just designed for improving self esteem. That's just sad.

Spotted on the 101 in Westlake Village last weekend, a nice big Healey on a flatbed.

But of course.
It still has the headlights where they belong.

Nice. There is a gorgeous similar model green Volvo I've seen around S. Pasadena, but I never have my camera handy...

Spotted yesterday in Woodland Hills, a driver Austin Healey Sprite. Running a bit rough, but it was on the road.

Spotted today in Carpenteria, a Model A and a Morris Minor Woodie! I followed the Morris for quite a ways before she pulled off next to an auto transporter. Guess the car was going for a long journey.

I'm pretty sure I saw that Morris in Santa Barbara a few weeks ago, with a for sale sign on it. I think they wanted >20K

Porsche 356 I saw on my way to Steve's to pick up the exhaust gasket. He was driving it pretty hard in the traffic. I had to drive pretty aggressively to catch him for the photo.

I think I saw this car at a "cars and coffee" style event in La Cananda, though I don't remember the numbers being on it.

Just north of Malibu while on the VM Independence Day Run we spotted this 194-1915 Pierce Arrow in the holiday spirit! Chandler was lucky to get a shot of it as we passed going north on PCH.

Stewart, that photo made my day!

Chris, I forgot to ask you guys if you saw that thing. I couldn't identify it before we were already past.

Here's another one, an old Chrysler spotted in Canoga Park. Normally this car wouldn't be my cup of tea, but it had really interesting lines, and I love the hexagonal tail lamps.

Who the heck puts smiley faces on the center caps of their Lamborghini? Silly....

Jimmy · Post by **Jimmy** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 2:45 pm

Based on experience, my guess would be that the smiley face transfered over during the collision that resulted when the guy tried to bully a Peterbilt out of the lane.

I was wondering who would be the first person to mention that and you win the prize! Which is absolutely nothing. Sorry, I've been sick and have been watching portions of Top Gear on Netflix between sleeping all day.

Spotted in front of my house a couple hours ago.

Ok, I know that's against the rules of the thread but I figure if Stewart can post a Model A then so can I! Besides, it's in the street and I didn't know the guy so it was kind of just spotted around town...

Hi Steve....This kinda goes with the Model A you spotted in front of your house.
I spotted this form of transportation in Ojai while on a run this past Saturday with the CCBCC.
