    GUILTY!

    If he was young and stupid it would be forgivable, but he's clearly set in his ways and must be purged...

    Saw a 318i a couple of days ago that had M badges all over it, sides and rear, other than that, it was completely stock looking.

    Could be Msport (///M) which is a trim option iirc. I sometimes get anoyed at people sticking M3 badges everywhere, but BMW marketing pretty much do it too.

    As far as I'm aware, none of the M-Sport models have the M badge on the rear.

    A Renault Avantime. Fell in love with these thanks to Top Gear.

    Tapatalk is severely messed up - it attributed your comment to a pic of a Smart Roadster! :hehe:

    I passed a red one of these in the general vicinity of Northampton on the M1 this afternoon - I wonder if it was the same one? There can't be all that many on the roads.

    It was also red. I saw it down in Essex though, near Chelmsford (Bicknacre).
    Fantastic motor.

    Not so fantastic when you're basically parked in it in M1 afternoon traffic and it's sunny and muggy.

    One of the rare occasions when I could honestly think to myself, "Wow, I'm glad I'm sat here and not driving an Ultima GTR" :lol:

    It is depressing that after seeing all those nice motors I didn't see a single one actually going for it, I saw the Ultima GTR crawling over a mini roundabout :(

    Took a knee on the carpet of the entrance of "the mayfair" stration st, 45minutes ago.

    Was surprised how in proportion the car is ,and hugely pleasing to the eye.

    The seats (cream) had those clear bags on them like the dry cleaners.

    It's funny how the proportions of car wheels have changed over the years - the rims are tiny and the tire walls are enormous. Still looks like sex on a chassis though.

    About 20 years ago I had a poster of the Countach on my bedroom wall, and it hasn't lost its appeal (even if it does look dated).

    Late to the party, but have a go in a 2001-on Volvo V70/S60. Comfiest seats ever, coupled with multi-stage and controllable heating. Lovely. :D

    Saw a gorgeous S2 Exige last night outside my local Co-Op, unfortunately I think I distracted him with a beaming grin and a thumbs up, 10s later he reversed out of his parking space too enthusiastically and grazed his carbon splitter on a kerb.

    Over the weekend:-
    A yellow Gallardo on my local high street (obviously a tourist)
    A brand new white Rolls Royce on the local dual carriageway
    A 1950's double decker bus and a 1940's Jeep near my friends house.

    I see a Willys Jeep most days - complete with mounted (but obviously deactivated) .30 cal machine gun. He doesn't drive about in it as much these days, but he often leaves it parked on the driveway.

    Saw my first Aventador (15 plate) in the wild today parked infront of a small engineering firm in Didcot. After that saw a Black Mercedes SLS turning towards Wallinford using its fancy LED indicators.

    Was Cliff driving it?

    In other news, I saw a BMW i8 the other day. A BMW badge looks completely wrong on that car!
