    Ohh and something from earlier in the year I'd forgotten about... it's a learner driver in a focus - and a Ferrari F430. And yes - it was the Ferraris fault... apologies about the quality of the pics - phone cam in a moving car...

    You could use your bodys inbuilt zoom (legs). A lovely car, but I don't like silver on a Ferrari.

    I know - but I'm always in a rush at lunch... I quite like it on the 360, but I reckon if you own something like that you may as well have it bright orange just to make the point

    Was at Dentist today and these two were just round the corner. The green one was really nice.

    An AE86 Toyota Corolla Levin. 10-Second quarter standing mile, apparently. Didn't have my phone on me at the time. It sounds pretty mean.

    Some "Old Skool" coolness.
    A Jag XJS and a Lotus Esprit, both in mint condition.

    Having only seen one before in my entire life, I saw 3 Honda NSXs in different places on the M4 between Bristol and Slough over the weekend - a graphite-y greyish one, a blue one and a white one that may have been an NSX-R.

    I want one :(

    Yup, did you hear the engine roar also? Sounded pretty beasty!

    The driver was a middle aged bald man who seemed pretty cool about it as a daily car haha.

    Also that picture got me into trouble, uploaded it to facebook while at work and so my manager new i had my phone on me haha

    Went to Kwikfit today for a new exhaust and a long-overdue MOT (the police saw fit to point that out to me - car's not in my name so I had no idea) and there was a dark blue Aston Martin DB7 sitting parked inside. It's a pretty scummy Kwikfit (aren't they all?) and it was pretty out of place, obviously. I asked about it - specifically, why it was so dusty - and they said that the lady owner brought it in for new pads and rotors, didn't like the price quoted and hadn't come to pick it up yet.

    That was SEVEN MONTHS AGO, and they haven't heard from her since.

    If it wasn't an auto I would quite seriously have demanded her details and made her an offer...

    That is really just screaming for a "Yes, I do feel the need to overcompensate for my tiny penis" bumper sticker....

    A guy who I think is a pretty successful accountant always has a nice driveway, a new addition has arrived in the last few days:

    A shiny silver GT-R to sit around looking mean with his M3 CSL. He also usually has a pair of Nobles (M10 and M12 GTO), a boggo E46 M3 cabrio, Audi TT and a Range Rover on or around the drive, but I didn't fancy trying to get photos of those during school run time :lol:

    Value of new disc and rotors of a DB7 costs more than the car is worth, doubt it! lol!

    Wonder if its a lease car that kwikfit has been dumped with.
