Cars Spotted on Holiday (8MB worth of images)

Peerzy · 9 Apr 2010 at 20:05

Just got back from a lovely 2 week break in Cyprus and was amazed at all the different types of cars I saw.

Even saw a Veyron but ironically I couldn't get a picture before it was gone

Here's a few I did manage to get pictures of, some may be pretty boring or standard but oh well.

Some sort of Porsche

and another

Lovely looking Maserati

Nice looking Seven (LWB?)

Maybe a Lotus, not really sure

Ferrari something-or-other (Sounded godlike)

Abarth 500

Two old classic cars given to some religious bloke (They made the Seven look like a Smart car!)

Nice loud bike

AMG Merc (Not sure if it's real or just a badge?)

Pimped RR

Modified Cayenne

Anyone else got any interesting holiday car photos/storys?

Another Ferrari

Some sort of classic looking car

Chav'd up Vauxhall

Nice looking 6 Series (Apart from the OTT boot spoiler)

R8

Another AMG Merc

That cayenne is quite simply the ugliest machine my eyes have ever seen.

Haha some of those pics in Nicosia aren't too far from where my family home!

The Cypriots are a wealthy bunch of people. I still preferred it when they had the Cyprus pound as the Euro is crippling IMO.

Yup, spent a day there, crossed over the border and generally had a great time. Most of the other photos are of the main strip by the Sea in the Tourist area of Limassol.

I was supprised how rich they were in terms of cars, everything was either a BMW, Merc, 4X4 or had been seriously pimped.

318ci's were everywhere, only saw 1 Mondeo on the whole trip and that was the last day. Hardly any hot hatches though, no Focus St's etc...

neither Merc is a proper AMG.

The classic looking car is a panther.

6 series with replica M6 wheels and horrible boot spoiler is not nice.

The cayenne looks Gemballa like bodykit but with tiny wheels?

Ferrari is a chaved up 360 & Lotus in an Esprit.

One of the "classics" is a Mercedes 600 Großer (600 BIG), the same type of car that Clarkson has.

That Cayenne is DISGUSTING.

The first is a Carrera S and the second is a carrera (sad I know)

1st 911 is a Carrera C2s Cab, it's a 997 gen 1 car. You know it's an "S" as it's got Red calipers, behind those optional 997 Turbo rims.
2nd 911 looks like another C2S, but can't decide for sure, does look like it's got the wider body, it's def a gen 2 car- DFI engine, LED lights
Maserati is the GranTurismo
All 3 Ferrari's are 360's

Edit- I do this on holiday too lol:

in Tunisia last year CL65 Brabus:
One of the best sounding cars I've heard -V12.

Ahh. Was just a random guess and they looked like the big Russian presidential cars.

Car spotting holiday?

Actually I'm no better, a family holiday In Cyprus accidentally coincided with the WRC, EPIC WIN!

Just ended up walking everywhere and having a camera started snapping after a few days. Half the time the OH is actually just out of shot and I've zoomed past her, so that anyone looking at me thinks I'm taking a photo of her

You= WIN, tell me, how did you pull of this coup?

Must try this for a WRC round.

here's a few snaps I took of a gorgeous 997 turbo in Miami Beach:

The reg plate made me laugh, it's a joke police one

The other classic is a cadillac circa 1969-1970, probably a fleetwood.

Genuine accident. But it seems package holidays are no more expensive if they contain a rally weekend. Added bonus of hire car makes hooning to the stage on gravel more fun too.

The bike is a Honda Valkyerie Rune

( 1800 )

OP : Were you in Limassol by any chance? I holidayed there last May and saw loads of expensive and/or sporty cars, a Veyron, loads of Skylines, big Audi/Merc saloons all over the shop. I was quite surprised.
