Motors Seen anything cool on the road lately?

Sadly no photo, but yesterday I saw a Hillman Avenger in full-on rally mode, very similar to stock pic below:-

 

I saw this whilst on holiday in Royan a few weeks ago.

I can't make my mind up whether I like that vette. On one hand it looks vulgar and on the other hand kinda cool.

I remember going to Royan on holiday as a kid, staying at a campsite a few short miles up the coast, and visiting La Palmyre Zoo. Happy days.

 

It's cars in the park this weekend in Lichfield, so lots. My Ford-dar went a little mental. But some of my favourites;

 

Nice collection of cars there

 

On the way home from seeing Spiderman just now, a 1967 soft-top Aston DB5!

 

a Maybach S600.... that was not a terrible thing to see.

 

Sadly, I can't prove this due to my dashcam dying last week, but I saw a C-Type Jaguar* on my way home tonight!

* Or very good replica thereof

 

Might not be the coolest, but fairly rare round these parts... a Tesla Model S...

...they look bloody awful in white.

 

Just heard a growl outside. Went to see what the noise was. Rushed back to grab my phone. Apols for the pic, it's zoomed in to the traffic lights where the car pulled up.



She's lovely though.

 

Forgot this one from about 2 weeks ago, first I'd seen:

I remember when we went to my missus' graduation in Winchester, was stuck in AWFUL traffic on the M3 coming home, literally not moving for 15-20 minutes at a time... But there was a McLaren P1 a few cars up the whole way. Eventually we managed to crawl up enough to get alongside it, typical early 30's looking high flyer in the driving seat, but we couldn't help but laugh at the baby carrier strapped into the passenger seat. What a life that kid is gonna have, eh?

"Daaaaaaad, can I have the P1 when I pass my test??"

 

Outside the May Fair Hotel this AM.

The was a Murcielago behind it, but who cares about that..

 

Saw 42 Jaguar XJ220s at Silverstone on Saturday, that was quite nice.

 

London bus converted into a tour bus with food. It was outside my nearest Morrison's here in Edinburgh where someone was stocking up on the necessary.

 

They're not held in very high esteem tbh. Many years ago I almost bought a yellow one for $4995 but thought better of it when the gas prices doubled in the space of two years. The one I was looking at was like a pastel yellow hard top. Nice looking motor, but yeah, certainly not Chevy's finest..

Glen. I see they have boxed in the back of that bus. Health and safety probably. When I was a kid we used to jump on and off of those things like nut cases. We also used to hang on the vertical bar, and pretend we were on a scooter, sticking one leg off the bus and doing daft ****. Fell off one once pissing around with my mates. Wasn't badly hurt, but a laughing stock

 

Might "Stocking up on the necessary", be related to the advertising on the upper rear window & destination board?

 

An absolute ****ton of Mk1 Focus RS's.



It was the 15th year anniversary meet today, 220 signed up to go, not sure if all 220 made it though.

 

Again, sadly didn't get a chance to grab a photo but...
