    The first one is an MGB. Are you sure that the second one isn't a Chrysler? I know that they copied the Bentley style quite a bit and that one doesn't quite look like a Bentley to me.

    The aforementioned R35 I warned you guys about was crashed. The kids parents apparently bought him an R32 GTR (GTS-T?) to replace his R35.

    I'm positive it was a bentley if you zoom in s bit you see the bentley emblem and when it passed by it had the mesh grill style of a bentley plus she's a bit taller than a 300c.

    Some Skylines were imported into the US by Motorex back in the 90's and are considered "legal" despite many of them being identical to how they were in Japan. Motorex was allowed to import R32's and R33 GTRs but no R34's. Despite what some people think, you cannot import one now unless it has already been legalized to be driven here - and Motorex was the ONLY company that was ever allowed to do that.

    Motorex had some shady dealings and if you look around there's an article detailing exactly what happened with them. Suffice it to say, the owner got greedy and had some very shady dealings.

    Anyone you see driving around an older Evo (pre Evo 8), Silvia, etc is at risk of having their car taken - these cars were never allowed into the country despite some importers saying they can have one here and on the roads 100% legally for you.

    guy with a black Scuderia and gold rims. Drove up next to him and waved to hit it and he did.

    seems like a nice guy. This all happened on 111 here in Nashua NH, I'm assuming that he lives in a wealthy community closeby Hollis maybe or Amherst NH?

    Spotted two cars during my weekend in Boston (both Sunday mid-afternoon). A black Aston Martin (Can't remember if it was a Vantage of DB9) in front of the Taj and a red Ferrari 360/430 Spyder in front of the Mandarin Oriental.

    Just saw a Qvale Mangusta with RI plates 195 north just over the bridge in Pawtucket. It was blue pics later. The dude has 2 and a Saab and probably more cars.

    I normally don't post here, but today was insane.

    RT 20 in Wayland alone had:
    Red Ferrari California, Bentley Continental GT w/Premier Style Body Kit, Nissan GTR (2 because my friend stopped by), Corvette ZR-1 (yes, not dealer plates) in blue and a Rosso Metis Gallardo w/engine glass (talk about rare) which was probably an '07.

    Other cars of note:
    new style Jaguar XKR, 1948 Bentley (don't know model), and a bunch of others that frankly I can't remember now.

    I remember saying to myself about 16 times that I should just leave my camera on and then I would think there can't be more and sure enough, 2 minutes later!

    Coupe. Yea, it is nice. Matching calipers and gold logo on them which seems iridescent.

    Glass Lids are $10K options on Gallardos. The funny thing is it's only $7K on the Murcie!

    I've been meaning to stop by FoNE. Just haven't had the time.
