Motors Seen anything cool on the road lately?

Same here... Easily my favourite Honda, and I certainly would like one much more than an MR2. It's a pity they're so rare and expensive over here. One day, maybe

 

Nah, I've seen it before and there's no caravan at the mo - just a trailer for a ride-on mower and rubbish.

 

And the R GT is just man crisis worthy

 

That roof scoop looks out of place. Would have been better with a lower, flatter scoop to be honest.

 

It's copied from the JGTC spec cars:

 

LOL! Genius

 

1972 ford mach 1 mustang, its parked around the corner from me, i really must snap some pictures

 

Saw this shooting up the motorway on the M6 near the Lake district, as I was heading down to Preston. Sounded like he was cruising at 100mph in 3rd gear.

 

3 of the original Volkswagen Caravelles, the ones with the big VW logos on the front. Then a couple of original beetles, one of them with the hood open and a cloud of steam comming out!

Also a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

And finally just now when I was out running, a silver BMW M6 cabriolet with the numberplate "l0l"

 

The guy who runs this place is one of our neighbors in Surrey so we get to see them every other day or so.. He's got an original Shelbey 350 and a GT40 in at the moment.

 

That is, without a shadow of a doubt, straight into my top-ten worst car body kits of all time.

1. Ruins perfectly acceptable Boxter, which is a sweet-handling (if slightly underpowered), quality sports car.
2. Apes rare and exotic hypercar that most people won't recognise, negating the attempt to impress people who won't be able to tell the difference.
3. Apes said rare and exotic hypercar so badly it's insulting both to onlookers and the original.
4. Horrible fit and finish of horrible body kit means car looks very cheap, when in fact it was probably eye-wateringly expensive (I would bet easily the cost of a second-hand 996-7 911), of which some editions are legitimate supercars in their own right.

To paraphrase the immortal words of Rick James;

 

After getting my car fixed yesterday and setting off to Kent I saw an all black 2012 458 on the A14.

It was quite the looker, unfortunately the only picture I could get was terrible, not only is it way too far away but the phone mount (was using my phone as a Sat Nav) takes up a third of the picture.

 

That R GT is a beauty. Saw a Mach 1.

Oh and the 68-ish Mustang too. Hmm... A few Maserati GTs. To be honest, the coolest thing was seeing a pristine 190E, I just love those things, Cosworth or not.

Can't forget the awesomeness that is an old M3, M1, 650 CSi (80s version) a few minis, and a BMW 2002.

I love old cars perhaps more than new ones. Especially those of the german variety. Or the ones tuned to insanity.

 

There is a black NSX parked round the corner from me with a sleeper behind the rear wheels. I have never seen it move which is a real shame.

Also on Sunday driving home from Oxford I saw two MP12-4C's at the same roundabout but going in different directions. One white and one orange.

 

Funnily enough I saw a yellow NSX going down the Kings Road last night.. drew far more turns when he opened the throttle than all the Porsches do.

 

Probably the Mac fleet/test cars going for a quick spin.

 

Didn't have time to get a picture but while my mother was driving me home from my foot doctor appointment we saw a blue Lamborghini driving on the highway in the rain, not too sure on which model it was though. He probably wasn't too happy about it. Also saw a white r8 around the corner from my house; it was parked in front of a detail shop in the rain too.

 

A couple of houses down there was a black R8 parked next to a Porsche Boxster belonging to the guy who lives in the house.

 

Saw a black Mitsubishi FTO yesterday. I have deep fondness for those cars. I'd have one of them over just about anything else. Tuned of course.
