billybek Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It might be a good idea to have a "Spotted" category on the forum to describe/show some of the outstanding cars we see around Calgary and area. Last weekend I saw an amazing black short wheelbase car on Wildwood Drive. It had gold lettering on the deck lid and short back buckets. Sorry no pictures this time. The car might have belonged to someone from Concept 1 as I have seen their dropped early VW Doka out in front of the house occasionally. Quote Link to comment
JT997TT Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I saw a McLaren SLR getting shined up at a local body shop last week. Pretty rare siting as wiki states "Mercedes-Benz stated that they would build 3,500 SLRs over a span of seven years, with an annual production of 500 cars.[1] The car's base price is GB£295,337(approx. US$450,000 or €351,269 , c. 2009).[2]" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Mercedes-Benz_SLR_McLaren_2_cropped.jpg/250px-Mercedes-Benz_SLR_McLaren_2_cropped.jpg According to the tech, the local owner shines it up and then drives it 500KM and puts it away for next year. I have to be honest and say it was actually very underwhelming in person and my initial impression was that the body looked dated - almost 70s or 80s ish. Hard to imagine from the pic above, but just telling you my thoughts ...

stealthn Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Pretty sure I saw the latest gull wing MB around town red in color. I gotta start carrying a camera around. Quote Bob James 06 Cayman S 2018 Macan GTS Link to comment
Keith Adams Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Last weekend I saw an amazing black short wheelbase car on Wildwood Drive. It had gold lettering on the deck lid and short back buckets. Sorry no pictures this time. The car might have belonged to someone from Concept 1 as I have seen their dropped early VW Doka out in front of the house occasionally. That was probably Ken's (owner of Concept-1). He just picked up a black 68 SWB with a 2.0S motor in it. It's a pretty sweet car! Quote Link to comment
Brodie Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 On the drive home from Nanton, Danielle and I saw a Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR driving north on Dearfoot. Sorry the picture kind of sucks, it was taken through the windshield with little notice. Quote Link to comment
Brodie Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Came across this Panamera 4S the other day. Looks good in white. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics. Quote Link to comment
