Saw a metallic grey laferrari yesterday. That's a great looking car in the flesh.

Saw a dude giving it some blips round Liverpool St last night in his bright blue (like Escort Cos Imperial blue) Merc AMG GT, now that's a car!!! ? Locally I saw a dude caining his 3 door H reg, E30 BMW round, completely stripped out, apart from a cage & his seat. I thought it was wicked!

Then I saw an old dude in a Triumph Vitesse convertible this morning in red with wire wheels on, it looked mint!

With that wing and that centre exit it is already a classic in my eyes

Some more people! The BMW has generated a lot of attention!

Had to go into town on Saturday to go to the Post Office, I saw an old P reg Jag XJC in green parked up (I love those)
I also walked past the 'magic kingdom' which is Grove Garage, years ago this place was buzzing with Escort Cossie's, I stumbled upon it by chance, looked in some gates & saw no less than about a dozen Escort's in there. It was the place to go for turbo rebuilding and mapping as Ahmed Bayjoo (an ex Ford bloke) had it. On Saturday, it was pretty dead, two 90 spec ERST's in there, one red one white one.. and an Imperial blue Escort Cos parked against a wall? Obviously I couldn't go in there but I'd have loved to!

Had one. Absolutely terrible car. They will always have a following because it’s an MG but they are dog s**t.

The GT is awesome. Took one out a few weeks back, gets up to 100 with zero effort.

Yeah. It's bloody great. He was considering a McLaren 720, but realised they'd struggle to get out of the bloody thing.

I think the Mac 720 has a face that only a mother could love!?

Saw someone with a turbo'd orange Vauxhall Chevette last night. Sadly it looked quite beaten up, and I only looked round to see it when I heard the dump valve, just like the old days! ?

Saw James May in his 458 on the M25 earlier

Saw a proper sleeper E55 AMG estate in old man spec of burgundy paint with grey interior.

 

[Clio_fool]

Spotted a couple of nice Nova's while on hols. Other one was white but I couldn't get a pic. Seen lots of old cars on Tenerife, just shows how our rain kills them off. Loads of mk1 megane coupes around and a couple of mk2 golf gti's. Also spotted a BMW 1M, I've only seen one of them on the road in the UK!

 

[Short Norman]

Just seen this beat up CSL, rust, scratches and tape holding the bumper together. Love it.....a well used example.

Some from this weekend in Wales.

Watching the bikes coming through Llangollen from the bike festival yesturday and this old guy in the middle of them on his scooter made me laugh.

 

[cat171]

That M3 CSL's a bit of a step huge step up from the Mondeo's I see around with gaffer tape on!

 

[Gally]

Not sure what the spec of these are but it's epic!

 

[Gally]

Another epic job done! 8 miles on the clock. Shame I forgot to take the roof off for the pictures.

 

[cat171]

Saw a cream 190 SL roadster earlier ?

stock duratec about 180bhp

a great all rounder , less hardcore chassis so a bit softer than the track orientated stuff

What was up with it bud, can only be a handful of these in the UK.

Jag mk2

Beautiful car, would love to own one

 

[cat171]

Yeah man!!

 

[Short Norman]

there was a grey MK1 Jag that went up the hill at Goodwood this year, I think it was sideways for 75% of the run.

 

[cat171]

Wicked!!

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

You don’t really get much cooler than that, great piece of British design,

Saw a 59 reg Audi A8 L 'W12' parked last night, well that's what it said on it.. looked it up, it's a bloody diesel!

With enough torque to spin the world the other way, no doubt.

Would rather not say chap. Nothing major.

Blatantly spunk or fanny batter on the seats.

I saw a minty Cavalier in the car park at the Owlcotes Asda a while back and a Datsun 280Z in the M&S a couple of weeks back, Pudsey must attract classics.
