The Unicorn sighting thread.

Harvey wrote: Not particularly a unicorn, but I hardly see them.

Caught sight of a red one today on my drive home. Suprised I did not see it in the past as it was backing out of a garage about .5 MI from my house.

Not exactly unicorns individually, but I saw a 318ti and a 128i together in traffic. I don't know what I learned from seeing this, but I feel like I gained some perspective on something.

Well, this is more of a classic car sighting - I passed a convoy of 6 restored Model A Fords on the homeward bound commute tonight. Three Roadsters, a Phaeton, a station wagon, and, truly a uniconr, a Model A bus in the livery of the Tranquility Intertown Transit Service. (westbound on NH 101, between Epping and Candia for our NH/New England readers). It's a 4-lane highway; they were a rolling chicane, ambling at 45-50 while the rest of us blew by them at 75 mph

In reply to xflowgolf:

I always liked those cars.

So last Friday was the PD employee car show here at Ford. Unfortunately I was super busy, so instead of spending a leisurely hour plus strolling though and taking in everything I ran through in about 15 mins. Turnout was way down on usual, but there were massive thunder storms on Friday morning so i expect many people left their fund cars behind. The Jack Roush collection bought some of Jacks cars as did the Lincoln museum. Most people were huddled around the hundreds of Mustangs and other sporty things, I went for the more esoteric and unicorn-esc stuff that sits well here.

1980 Mini

Jaaag

635 CSi

1980 (I think) Checker Cab built in Kalamazoo Michigan

More 'Stude

Pinto power

I still wake up with cold sweats from nightmares over MkI Fiesta's

Could it be? Why yes it is. Behold the power that is a Mercury Topaz Diesel, I think it was still there this morning having made it to 5mph with a full on drag start.

Edsel Ford Jr Capri RS2600. A friend of mine Glen Miller used to own this car, although unrestored when he had it and I got a ride in it. This is a total unicorn, I believe it's the only one in the States.

Man I would love this. Mercury Lynx EXP

ASC McLaren

A Lincoln MkVII with a twist.... Another Diesel!!!! NEver ever seen one before.

XR4ti

Don't see many Mazda 121 based Mercury Capri's these days

We are sailing, we are sailing, across the waters to be sea sick

These are thin on the ground here. Most have rusted away.

A bit different from the last Mercury Topaz I showed. This would a sleeper powered by awesome sauce
