***The Car Sightings PRACTICE Thread***

[cawimmer430]

The idea behind this thread is very simple. I will post pictures from an everyday Munich street scene where some interesting cars are hidden. Your task is to find them. These "exercises" are designed to sharpen your eye and prepare you for the exhausting job of "urban car sighting" (something I go through on a daily basis). 

Whatever catches your eye in these pictures, let me hear it.

There is no substitute for the real thing of course. So, let's play!


Picture 1: Anything interesting here?

[NomisR]

None..

[cawimmer430]

None..

Come on. Let's be serious here.

These exercises are a little demo of how I've developed my senses to spot interesting cars from "miles away" or in the most congested of traffic jams...     

[Laconian]

Lexus GS?

[cawimmer430]

Lexus GS?

Where? 

[NomisR]

Come on. Let's be serious here.

None of them really turns head though.

Just name the car that stands out the most and I'll post the next practice shot. Very simple.   

[ifcar]

VW Golf stands out the most.

[cawimmer430]

VW Golf stands out the most.

[ifcar]

Funny, that's my thought about what you seem to be thinking of.

[cawimmer430]

Geez, if you people were given a camera and told to spot cool cars in Munich...


F A I L

[ifcar]

Oh, we'd find the good ones, no problem. You're the one whose standards seem to be a bit off-balance of what makes for a worthwhile spotting...

[cawimmer430]

Name the cool car and I'll post the next shot(s).

[ifcar]

Name the cool car and I'll post the next shot(s).

This must be a trick -- there is no cool car and you don't want to admit you don't have a next shot. You want us to sit here on this forever.

In a few months the coolness factor will wear off, but now it's still cool. Find it.

[NomisR]

I see absolutely no cool car in there but to play your game, I'm guessing you're talking about the 500SL in the background?

Come on. You know damn well which car here is brand new and stands out. 

[NomisR]

A Klass?

[cawimmer430]

A Klass?

_-Klasse

[NomisR]

AtoZ-Klass.. is that a B ?

[cawimmer430]

You want the next shot, yet or no?

[ifcar]

You want the next shot, yet or no?

We want one that's not trying to trick us into suggesting that an E-Class is "cool."

[NomisR]

It's cool for a few months until it becomes an everyday sight (which it is already becoming!). These shots are supposed to "train" you for the rigors and hardships of urban automotive sighting! 

Next picture.

[ifcar]

Ooh, the brown one.

(You don't have to know what it is to know it's time to get the camera ready.)

[NomisR]

Still nothing interesting..

[cawimmer430]

Ooh, the brown one.

(You don't have to know what it is to know it's time to get the camera ready.)

Yeah, the brown one, the Jag E-Type. Next shot.

[NomisR]

Are you going to post pictures of interesting cars yet?

[cawimmer430]

Are you going to post pictures of interesting cars yet?

Man, you need new glasses. 

One car stands "like so out"...

[NomisR]

I don't find any of them interesting though.
