Motors Seen anything cool on the road lately?

William Towns seems to do ugly very well doesn't he?

 

Seen a lot of R8s everywhere, also saw a Ferrari 458 in Coventry on Sunday.

Saw a Nissan Cube about a week ago on the M1, looks different to say the least!

 

A Peugeot RCZ - not the most stunning car, TBH - but after ONLY seeing 308's for two years now (when our loval Peugeot dealership closed), this was somewhat of a surprise.
It's the only one in the country, and belongs to the owner of 2 used car dealerships, and the dealerships for Fiat, Alfa and as of recently alsy Citroen and Peugeot.

 

Slightly OT but really want to see one of these in the flesh:



Oh, and my Forza 3 just arrived

 

Only about 2 and a half years late with the delivery?

 

To be fair, ths is my second copy.

 

A few of the more notable highlights:

- Vauxhal Lotus Carlton yesterday on the M25. Shame it was stuck in traffic. A car like that should be going fast.

- The new McLaren super car. Not sure what it's name was but I saw something blue overtaking me very fast down the hogs back. When it got paralel with me i didn't recognise it. It sure wasn't a lambo or any Ferrari i could name. As it went past me i saw the name McLaren and smiled.

- An original E30 M3 in red. A lovely car that made the most awesome sounds as the bloke gave it a boot full as it went past.

Nothing else has really stood out. Lots of R8s, a few Ferarri 360s, the standard quota of Porsches and scoobies. The Carlton tops the list though.

 

M3 definitely tops my list. Love E30's.

I saw an RS4 this morning - the B6 with the lovely V8, warbling along at 7:30 on the way to work. Nice.

 

Over the last couple of weeks:

Ferrari FF
Aston Martin DB9
Bentley Continental GTC


and

a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera 570-4 which turned up outside my house a few weeks ago, Pic to follow....

 

Lots of brand new 911's (I work right buy a large Porsche dealership)... and an Ariel atom. I work at the regional headquarters of David Lloyd gyms, so they have lots of flash cars in there.

 

I saw a Noble M12 this morning - lovely blue, numberplate was N12 GTO. Never seen a Noble before, epic.

 

I saw a caterham seven this morning barrelling along the motorway, it was white with a red central stripe.
Those things really can shift.

 

That's because they weigh about the same as an empty can of beans. My Uncle had an old E reg one, some Cosworth engine in it though.. That thing made mince eat of a pretty new 911 when he took me out in it.

 

Followed an Alpina D3 BiTurbo down the ring road last night. Had a few other cosmetic tweaks done to it as well and looked pretty nice.

 

Even the old ones with the Sigma engines shift like a greased rat, performance at the sacrifice of almost everything but being a biker.

 

There was Ferrari california parked outside my workplace today, it was what I can only describe as a metallic candy red color.it also had a cream leather interior.
The guy sitting in it was wearing WWII fighter goggles... It was an interesting look.

 

1953 Buick Special convertible. black, restored. Driven by a young guy about my age. Top down cruising when it was 93F today in Iowa on April 1st.

April Fools joke from Mother Nature.
