Talking Hottest car you saw today!!!

So I'm basically copying a thread from one of the other sites I frequent (Mods please feel free to move this if we have one of our own). Really simple, post pics/stories of the hottest ride you saw today.

Until today, I'd never had the opportunity to post anything really interesting. Keep in mind, I'm live in a small town out in the Rockies that doesn't have many people. We do see some nice rides that come in for weekend visits but exotics/supercars are few and far between.

On my way back to work I saw this car that I couldn't quite make out but thought it was something special. I ended up next to it at the light and saw my first Carrera GT in person. OMG! It's even sexier in person and the sound it made was intoxicating. Said a quick hello to a very nice, humble couple from Washington that are apparently visiting our little slice of heaven.

Less than 5 minutes later I saw a red 360 Modeno pass through. Ironically, after seeing the GT, I was actually kind of meh about the Ferrari....lol.

As I was leaving work a couple hours later, I saw the beautiful old Jag in the picture below. I'm not sure what model or year it is, but I can certainly appreciate an immaculate classic like this one.

Shortly after that on the way home, I passed a red Lotus Esprit Turbo heading the other direction....followed a few short minutes by a very nice RS4. There is a "Show & Shine" on Sunday, but I didn't think there would be these kind of cars...so we'll see.

All in all, an incredible day for a car enthusiast in our little town.

Gorgeous Jag.

There's a good number of "exotics" (Ferrari, Lambo, AM, RR, Bentley etc..) in the area I live in so you at least a handful a day. I see Larry Allen in his black Rolls every now and then.

This pic was taken a few months ago, but the Ferrari I see every day. The owner owns a shop called KarTunz


This one a week ago

Congrats on a good car sighting day. I think the Jag is a XK120? Here in O.C. CA I see exotics so often I never carry a camera. Only seen 3 Carrera GTs driving though, followed the first for 8 miles just to listen to it. My #1 for sure. Barrett Jackson comes to town Friday so I pledge to my CL buds to carry my camera all weekend!

A boring car spotting day because we didn't leave home except to go to dinner. I spotted a late Lincoln LS, a handsome car. But I didn't really see anything better than my LS.

OTOH, my mechanic sells used cars and has these sitting on the elevated platform in front of his showroom. I should bring the Blazer home, park it in the driveway, and add some class to the neighborhood.

The Jaguar is an XK150 Coupe (aka FHC or Fixed Head Coupe). Pretty rare car, if I recall less than 10,000 XK150s were made from 57-61

Thank you very much.

I'll have to do some research on that car. It was very clear that a lot of tlc had gone into it and that it was something special.
