Combo's and Strange Sightings

Spotted: Superbly composed Porsche 997 GT3 RS
Aug 7, 2012, 7:31 PM Thanks to its bright colours, the first series of the Porsche 997 GT3 RS has always been an eyecatcher. Not a single copy drove around the streets anonymously; even if the owner had picked a black colour scheme, it often was one with orange striping. This particular Porsche however, shows the opposite: it’s a GT3 RS with orange painting and black striping. This colour combination also appears in the rims, which makes it a good-looking unity.

Spotted: one of 30 BMW M3 M Performance Editions
Aug 7, 2012, 2:54 PM The colors red, white and blue are not only related to the flags of the United Kingdom and Holland. It is also related to the M-Division of BMW. In june BMW announced the special M Performance Edition of the M3 and all of these cars would be delivered in 'Frozen' matte colors. The Performance editions are more expensive than any other M3. No reason for customers to not buy this special edition since all copies are sold out. The first one got spotted in Berkhamstead.
Remarkable

Aston Martin DB9 with heavy damage spotted
Aug 7, 2012, 1:28 PM The next spot is not that spectacular because of his color or place where it is spotted. It is remarkable because the left side of the car is heavily damaged. This can't alway be blamed on the driver or owner. It looks like a van or a little truck hit the side of the Aston Martin DB9 and drove along the whole side. This will cost a lot of money but we hope this will be only cosmetic damage.

Who could ever imagined this: yellow Bentley Mulsanne 2009
Aug 7, 2012, 12:00 PM From all the colors of the rainbow this isn't what we would expect on a Bentley Mulsanne 2009. Yellow is one of the last colors we would order on a Bentley like this. The biggest Bentley of the moment can present itself in multiple colors like bordeauxred or darkgreen. But yellow a very rare color on a Bentley like the Mulsanne. Do you think this color is matching the car good?

Strange co-driver in Ferrari 458 Spider
Aug 7, 2012, 10:28 AM In Monaco you will sometimes see the strangest things. Willem Rodenburg stays at the moment in Monaco en catched the following situation on video. At the moment a Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupé got pulled over for doing the Hitler sign a Ferrari 458 Spider passed by with a very strange passenger. For a moment it was like Madagascar 3 was back in town. The passenger of the 458 Spider was a zebra! Funny to see this in the city where almost everything is possible!

Guy drives over foot of NYPD agent!
Aug 6, 2012, 3:00 PM In the following movie something happens the driver only can blame himself. The owner gets a ticket and while the agent is still writing it the driver wants to leave the scene. The agent is in front of the car and after multiple warnings of the agent the driver runs over the foot of the agent. What then happens is a nice arrest of the driver.
Remarkable

Spoiler can't resist pressure
Aug 6, 2012, 10:30 AM Driving cars at high speeds will put pressure on certain parts of the car. That is nothing new. What amazed us was this accident with a rear spoiler at the Nürburgring. A Porsche 9ff with over 100 bhp drove at 350 km/h when the rear spoiler broke. Something we do not see that often. Was there a weakness in the spoiler, or isn't it tested at this high-speeds. Most important is that the owner was able to stop the car safely and without any casualties.

Gumpert Apollo Sport spotted on the highway
Aug 5, 2012, 5:30 PM One of the cars which can be seen at the Nürburgring is the Gumpert Apollo. As spotter you will be surprised less when you see an Apollo at the entrance of the track. But when you spot one at the highway, that’s quite a ‘wow-moment’, and even more when it is its even rarer and stronger brother, the Apollo Sport. Spotter puoY & Chiem were lucky enough to come over this
