Most eye catching cars where you live
Discussion
There are certain cars which you just can't help but notice. They might stand out because of their rarity, mods, or many other factors.
There are two particular cars that I see driving around pretty much every time I drive through my town (I'm fairly sure they aren't tailing me...). One is a P38 range rover with a high lift kit and roof rack full of supplies at all times for an impending zombie apocalypse/ g4 challenge, and the other car I always notice driving about the place is a tatty old Subaru Brat, in faded red with an off white canopy on the back.
What cars grab your eye on a regular basis in your area?

Within 2 streets of me there's the following:
- Totally immaculate 1968 Mustang
- Buick Regal GNX with a seriously lumpy idle, obscenely loud exhaust and fat drag radials
- Oldsmobile Cutlass drag car
- Ford 32 hot rod, dog knob red, chrome everywhere and totally immaculate
There's a bunch of other eye-catching stuff like lifted trucks, off road stuff etc, but nothing especially exotic. The 32 is the most eye catching of the lot by a long shot.

There is a nice red MK1 MR2 in pretty good condition that I see near my house occasionally, I can't help but have a stare at that, it's an amazing piece of car design.
Another car I often look at, for the curio value is a Mazda 121. Not exotic in the slightest, it's just a rebadged Fiesta, but how often do you see the Mazda version? I can't recall ever seeing another one other than the one I see parked near my house.

Quite a few near me!
Fellow pher crestaracing's - Vauxhall Monaro VXR
Also interesting neighbours cars include MGB Roadster chrome bumper, Volvo 850 TWR T5, Subaru impreza P1! Plus the selection of fancy motors that also reside outside our house - Jag XF, Volvo V70R, Golf GTI! Quote a petrol heady street in my opinion!

The old boy round the corner has a primrose yellow E-Type V12 fixed head on Wolfrace alloys, very noticable and much better looking in the flesh than it sounds on paper!
Not seen for a while now, but we used to see a corker of a Ford V8 hot rod almost every Sunday morning go past the house.

I‘ve seen a couple of nice looking Capris knocking about. One is pale yellow, the other matt black. Both Mk3.
A few interesting cars in the car park for the office block where I work. A Rover P6, driven by a woman. An L-reg Cavalier - notable only by its rarity now - also driven by a woman. A tidy looking red MG Midget, used as a daily.
Then there are the exotics - a Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Aventador and a McLaren MP4-12C.
I don‘t know what these people do for a living, but it‘s certainly not radiation shielding.

We live in a very middle class area - not overly affluent, but just round the corner someone has an Audi R8 and sometimes a Bentley parked up outside. I always admire that.
Just down the road there is a huge '1960s' car, probably a Cadillac of some description. It is not in great nick, parked on the road, pale blue and massive. Will get a picture for positive ID.
