    Really? It's been out for years now...

    Went past a Ferrari dealership yesterday, suprisingly they had 2 F12's sitting on the forecourt. Yum.

    We're talking about a farming county in Northern Ireland here, you have to understand how rare it is to see sports cars here. A shiny new pickup almost ranks high enough to get in this thread for me :lol: You say "Ferrari dealership". We don't have a ferrari dealership here...

    I drive past a Ferrari dealership every few days but I didn't notice if they have F12s yet.

    Oh and that 370 probably wasn't stock. The stock exhaust sounds good but unless the other guy floors it it's not really loud. I have been in two 350Z though and the sound of both was very underwhelming inside the cabin. I prefer the sound of my RX8, although it is extremely different :hehe:

    Ferrari 458 by rinsewand, on Flickr

    Saw this in York yesterday, was running for the cinema so couldn't sort a decent photo! Also came across a pale brown Jaguar E-Type while driving too, very very pretty!

    There was an Aston Martin DBS convertible in a parking lot near the Coppergate M&S in York today. Sadly, I still lack a smartphone, so no piccies for you.

    That's a Citroen 2CV based kitcar called a "Lomax 224". (The Lomax 223 only has one rear wheel).:dremel:

    Haha :lol:

    Probably not, it certainly did sound amazing at low revs. Eargasmic even.

    I tried to keep up with a gorgeous blue turbo E36 M3 last night. Obviously he left me for dust :D I had my windows down (my AC isn't working at the moment :() so I could clearly hear the amazing engine note. I noticed a bit of turbo lag in his RPM range and I was able to keep up (at almost the top end of my own RPM range in 5th gear) but once he came on boost he left me in an awesome smelling cloud of exhaust :D

    Ha! Proof of a truly rich person, who can afford not to care about paint condition on his 100k Aston. :D

    I saw a Gardner Douglas 427 at Ace Cafe last night. Holy hell, beautiful car with quite possibly the most immaculate engine bay I've ever seen.

    Had a good car spotting day the other day:
    A Peugeot RCZ (the only one in the country), a Hyundai Veloster (ditto), and a Toyota 86 outside my office window... that's 3 rare cars around here, even if none of them are super expensive...

    I saw a pearl white Nissan GT-R blast past me on the way to the cinema the other day. Dat noise. Dat acceleration. I was going faster than I probably should have, but that thing just flew by.

    New dream car I think.

    When we were there, saw this 458, white with a black roof:

    And whilst in London a week ago:

    The first one of those that I've seen yet.
