Motors Seen anything cool on the road lately?

Rainbow - Where is your office? I must walk past you like 10 times a day as whenever I come here to upload photos from around Bond St. You've beaten me to it.

 

So I woke up this morning to find this at my neighbours (in fairness, the Neighbour's wife drives an older Cayman S).
Seeing as said neighbour was walking around, I asked him about it. Apparently, that's his father in law's little fun ride.

Talk about a rare find (at least in this part of the world).
...and yes... That ding on the rear apparently happened on the way over.

 

Oh good, he's going to borrow him out his car again

 

Never see a driver (old man late 70s?) smile so much when I asked if I could take a picture of the car.

 

Top of Friar Lane, Nottingham, Sunday afternoon - parked on double yellows, naturally...

 

Not cool, but on the road:

Some cyclist undertaking a van (both of them) turning left at a T-junction, almost getting knocked off, chucking down his bike to go have a shout at the driver (the conversation I didn't see, as it was blocked by the van), and then the van driving off 15 seconds later leaving the cyclist running after him.

 

The behaviour of some cyclists, or many, today makes me almost embarrassed to admit I used to do a lot of cycling myself (I used to time trial), until around 20 years ago. Undertaking, especially approaching a junction is one of the most dangerous things you can do.

 

berkeley square W1, week or so ago.


asked if I could take a picture and also.

- what the heck is that an aston martin?
no its a....

- what's the deal with the paint its amazing.
yep it takes two weeks and several layers and costs a lot.

- is it yours?
no the company borrowed it to me for the afternoon.

- With a car like that and your good looks you have no &*^ excuses with the ladies now.
hahahahahah

 

^David Brown Automotive Speedback?

 

The tail end of that car is quite possibly the fugliest thing I've set eyes upon in my life. Oh my... put that thing in a locked garage.

 

Not on the road, but pretty rare to see over here just the same

 

That Speedback looks like one of those naff Chinese rip offs of real cars. You'd think British design could come up with something better than a weak attempt at an old Aston. Probably after the rich Russian market I guess.

 

Mercedes R63 AMG in dark blue. Didn't get a picture, but here's a silver one:


Gotta be one of the rarer cars on the road.

 

I've never seen one before. I'm probably being unfair but the first thing I thought of when seeing it was Ssangyong Rodius.

 

Anyone any idea what's under the Cammo-Warp ?

Rearview


Frontview

 

Looks like a Jag, but it's more likely to be the upcoming Range Rover coupe thingame...

 

Not the Jag I-Pace?

Edit: Just checked, defo not an i-pace and doesn't look quite right for the Range Rover...

Jaguar F-pace by the looks of it I'd say. Those double lumps on the bonnet are what I'm going off, that and the rear light shape and front light shape.


No, I think it is the Range Rover Coupe, there's no visible exhausts which the f pace has and the rear buttresses on the rear window aren't as big on the f-pace (yes I know they might have added them in to confuse, )


Nope, change yet again, looks like it's the Jaguar E-Pace. The way the top of the side windows curve is like none of the others, they all have straight tops.
