The Unicorn sighting thread.

Sighted this guy around the corner from my house while walking the dog

These are unicorns back in the states but are all over the place here in Brisbane. Holden Ute and Wagon, we barely got the sedan in a couple different GM flavors.

Tonight in Baltimore

In reply to RacetruckRon :

Zero utes or wagons made it here.  The sedans are unicorns here too, as GM seemed to be hell-bent on not letting anyone know about the cars they had for sale.

Someone told me that the Chevy SS only existed as a way for Holden to wrap up production obligations, they weren't interested in actually selling any.

It's somewhat popular here for SS owners to rebadge them as Holdens.

On the topic of utes... I saw this Smyth conversion at a local car show. AWD and able to tow 7700 lbs makes it an interesting alternative to a truck or SUV.

Finally got pics!  This beauty shows up in the disc golf course parking lot fairly often.

I want that wagon so bad.

Mini Paceman, the 2-door version of the 4-door SUV, that is the SUV version of the 4-door Cooper, that is the 4-door version of the 2-door Mini Cooper, that is a modern reimagining of the original, actually mini, Mini Cooper.

And I saw this early Ford a while back and forgot to share. So clean.

Holy E36 M3 - so do I!

Saw this at dinner last night and spoke with the owner briefly. Imported from Japan and built at RWB HQ. Evidently unique due to the body flares.

Is it still a unicorn when you come across eleven at one destination??? Aston Martins at the Riegelsville Inn noon on Saturday 11/2/2014 The Boxter on the center row looks lonely...

Out doing a walk then ride in the fun car thing this afternoon.  Stopped into a taproom I'd seen online and found this sitting in the back parking lot.  (I think) 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk with a V8 emblem and what looked like a 3 speed manual floor shift.  Cool little ride.

Cool ol Benz while going to my Merkur guy.

There is one of those that lives a few blocks from my house, only it doesn't have the hood scoop and is plain white.

Cheating since it's at a car show but I had to share this. I love this swap so much.

I love the X1/9! But isn't that a Maserati Khamsin in the background, just over the raised engine lid of the Fiat? I believe it is!

Yep, it's Atlanta Italian Car Day at the Ferrari dealer. Don't get me wrong, I love all the actual exotics but as I was judging the show, the car I most wanted to drive is a Shelby GLH swapped x19. Lambo v12 powered Bizzarinni is cool and all but you can't take the dirty junkyard turbo swaps out of my heart.

Running 4 cylinder Alfetta in Philadelphia from the looks of it. Must not be a native, all Alfas sold nearby rusted away long ago.
