    This may be the wrong thread to post this spotting, but caught this nice Jag E-Type (I believe) around 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Embassy Suites Park Central, Central Exwy & LBJ Frwy, in north Dallas.

    Now, THAT baby is just COOOOLLLLL ! ! ! Looks like non-Texas plates.

    CTS-V observation/question:
    On my way back around lunchtime, from checking 400GT progress in Keller, a blacked-out CTS-V was behind me in the sucky traffic that is I-35......and I noticed what looked like cage tubes tab-welded to the A-pillars. Checked this out for several slow miles, including moving over to the next lane for a different angle.
    What kind of beast do we have hiding amongst us? :eek: I want to know.

    The rear plate is legit, Texas Come and Take It. The front not sure but they both mention UTE so I assume that's a reference to Holden.

    Front is a German/Euro-style that you can order from several places, implying that it's an "ultimate Sports-Utility". Pretty clever, and apt.

    I recognize that the rear window is the glass/frame, 1/4 windows, and trim from an Avant (wagon) hatch, likely from its Allroad origin. Looks like it was well-done.
    I'd like to see this one.

    That car changed hands at Gooding Pebble Beach in 2006 for $1.375 million! Amazing to see it on the road

    Is this a private collection? Or a dealer open to public?

    That link has a ton of great/rare vehicles listed with detailed descriptions.

    Is that a planter pot with the bottom cut out???

    Who would of thought, everything you need for your Batman conversion is at your local home depot.

    The front fender mounted machine gun is a nice touch as well.

    Forgot to post this one, found it last weekend in Highland Park Village:

    The Great Gatsby | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
    The Great Gatsby | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    From what I can tell this is the exact Rolls-Royce from the 1974 version of 'The Great Gatsby'. Even though there are a few changes from when it was last photographed, I compared a few imperfections and it seems to match. Anybody have any more information?

    That's actually a first generation (1970-77) Toyota Celica. They're relatively uncommon.
