    I also saw a white XK120 or alike today, nowhere near Wakefield though.

    Hold on a minute, more remarkably than that, you seem to have overtaken 2 vehicles in a Defender/90! :eeek:

    I used to manage that all the time, mind you mine did have a mildly tweaked V8 in it...

    I saw not one, but TWO Toyota 86 High-spec (which is the same spec that your normal GT86 comes out in) on a parking lot yesterday. A pearl white one and an Orange one... that pearl white... <3

    Yeah, I saw a BRZ yesterday.

    Not on the road but I aso saw a lot of various cars in race trim going round silverstone in what I can only assume was some sort of test/track day. One of them was a 330P replica (I assume) which made the most brilliant noise as it went past.

    I'm waiting for one of us to post pics of Chris Evans' "Magnificent 7" in convoy this & next week.
    Sadly I'm too far north to do it myself, but he's giving out the routes each morning.

    (For our overseas chums, I'm referring to the UK radio presenter who has a collection of Ferrari's, which he annually offers loans of as an auction prize for charity).

    Love the Delorian, that's the only way to roll with the Back to the Future modifications. :D

    Shame if he is a bit of a grumpy old bugger. :)

    As awesome as BttF is, an unmolested Delorean looks best imo.

    I'd love to do an engine transplant on one to something a bit more worthy... Maybe a supercharged Busso V6.

    Oh God, I had a crisis when I saw that.

    Anyway, this drove past my house today so I had to run and take a few pictures:

    Looks nice in mint condition. Triumph's aren't so nice when they're rusting to pieces, my mate briefly had a Triumph Herald convertable (which was rusting nicely)... luckily it got stolen for scrap before I could spend too much time in it. :lol:

    It was a fun car though - he managed to get it to drift doing about 15 miles an hour around a damp roundabout! :D

    I heard, and then (a not insignificant amount of time later) saw a TVR 400SE yesterday evening. What a glorious noise that makes.

    Saw and heard my first 370Z last week. I was driving so couldn't take a picture, but dat engine & exhaust note... I could have followed and listened to it all day! It quite possibly had an aftermarket exhaust among other things on it, because the burbles and pops as he was pulling away from lights and junctions were incredible! It was on different from stock rims and had a kit on it with nice flared arches. Sexy thing!
