Captured in the wild...

Outside my mechanics shop…

These blue Ferraris look like internet photos, not ones that you took, the spirit of this thread is vehicles that we caught out in the wild.

Tour de France Blue is an outstanding color for Ferrari!
Looks great on any model. TDF and Red are the only Ferrari colors I would even consider...

This looks like a BMW 'Clown Shoe' that was stepped on and flattened out a bit...

I see a lot of weird cars here in DC thanks to diplomats, both those from overseas and U.S. ones who bring back their cars from overseas assignments.

Nissan Figaro:

Citroën C3 Pluriel (owned by the Embassy of Cyprus):

Peugeot 206 (owned by the Embassy of Germany and obviously seen better days):

And it's beautiful!
It certainly doesn't leave people indifferent.
It seems you either love it or hate it...

I wish I had bought an M Coupe instead of an E46 M3 back in the day. Unfortunately it wasn't offered as a Euro-delivery car (a personal requirement) since it was manufactured in the US...

Ever driven one? I was set to buy one ages ago. Low miles, lovingly cared for, always garaged, and......I was staring right at the crossbar above the windshield. So bummed.

Caveat that I'm 6'2" and all torso.

Oh, what I would give to have an Estoril Blau MCoupe in my garage...

Yes, test drove a couple of the earlier version ones (sometime around the year 2000) with the E36M3 S52 engine. Very fun, zippy car. Handled like it was on rails.
Way racier feeling than the regular M3.

The second generation MCoupe with the wonderful S54 engine I came close to buying when I was crosshopping it with the E46 M3.
But since it was built at the Spartanburg plant in SC, no Euro-Delivery was offered.

Both of them are highly desirable. Especially the latter one. But the earlier version could be had at real bargain prices 2005 to 2010 or thereabouts.

I also looked at a lightly used version of that Coupe. I was surprised to find it kind of coarse, and it felt weird sitting almost over the differential. At his urging, I took a spin in the owner's 128 and ordered one that day.

THAT is a car I wish I'd never sold. World's best integrated bike rack, and the world's most usable cargo area in a quiet two seat sport coupe.

Not to mention that wonderfully smooth NA I6 engine. Kind of perfect power to allow fun on public roads while not typically attaining "go to jail" speeds.

Anybody bring the kitty litter?
J/K, nice cars, and one doesn't often see an Elan 2+2
