All I can say is WOW. What a wild looking car to see on the road. Some Asian dude driving it with his girl. The license plate said IT GOHS...LOL

I followed it for awhile hoping he would get onto a major highway but no luck. I'm guessing its the only one in Calgary.

i was on the phone with a girl and I yelled "now thats hot" at the SLR and well the girl got a little mad at me. she thought I was yelling at other girls.

I have been told its a friends neighbours..
Apparently when he bought this car (750k) he was flown to England (I think) for driving lessons with other SLR owners.. he was told it was the only legit SLR in Western Canada (Original owner, dealer purchased)

And I didnt have pics, so I didnt post a spotted thread:drama:

That SLR was always at the Hamptons Golf course.

It's ususally parked at the empty end. So it really stands out in the lot. I have a few pics on my cell phone.

^ Yep! Always parked at the empty end.... to avoid door dings right??

Next time you take pics of that car, park your mazda far, far away.

wow that is nice. tell the guy in the other car to fu ck off. no one can park that close to an SLR.

neither of them can park too straight can they though?:rofl:

C4S
09-27-2005, 11:18 PM
Nice! but what the heck was that Mazda 626 doing?

May be the SLR guy knows the guy with that 626? just park next to the SLR .. and make sure no one else can park next to it?

otherwise, why a $3000 car parked next to a $600K car? :eek:

yup, we live in a City where people like to go out of their way to intentionally park right next to a nice car in an empty lot.

Rule of parking

Park next to cars that cost more than yours because you know they'll be very careful when they open their doors, hence you get less dings.

Not entirely true but should apply in most cases. However, I have seen the driver of a Mercedes S class on the giving end of door ding in a mall parking lot. That was priceless. :thumbsup:

haha probably a leased car ;).

Never park beside a low model debadged benz in a crowded lot. Or any benz in a chinese mall parking lot. 99% of the time those cars are leased by chinese guys that can barely afford the lease payments to look rich! (and they dont give a shit about door dings).

Well, my friend's dad also owns a mclaren slr. It's black in colour. Saw it in her garage the other day. Apparently he purchased it for a little over $550,000 USD. Pictures can't even describe to how it feels when you see it in person.

I was driving through bonavista tonight, and saw the SLR in my rearview mirror. I said "holy shit, thats an SLR" so i pulled into a gas station and my girlfriend took out her camera phone and just as it drove by, this retartd driving some crappy old buick blocked the photo, so you can just barely see the tail end. I was pissed haha, but anyways, heres a picture somebody took, and posted on exoticspotter.com, oh and yes it was two asian, or middle eastern looking guys,couldnt really et a good look:(

I wonder if the people driving these cars with unimaginable horsepower ever take it to a long road and just roast them and see how fast they can go. I know some old farts in my city save up their whole life to buy like a C6 Corvette or something, then by the time they can afford it they're too old to enjoy it. They drive the damn thinks like they're Lincoln Continentals. :(
