Teh Spotted Thread
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
The couple of times I’ve had to avoid the M6 on my commute, Quatt is on my alternative route home. Shame this COVID prevents meeting up.

Aye. We're lucky enough to be near the southern extents of their patch. Great supermarket.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Library pic, but a Taycan entering the Asda car park as I was leaving - same colour scheme and wheels.
It was VERY noticeable and looked pretty wide.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I wonder if it’s the same one I saw at my local supermarket. Thought it looked good if very large.
An absolute unit
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I saw one today too, coincidentally, in a rather cool eggshell blue shade. Looked rather smart tbh. Wide and low too.

Weird. I parked next to one today at Booths supermarket. Grey on grey Turbo. Didn't seem that huge to me but certainly wide

Renault avantime.
Looked filthy and well used. Can’t be many in daily use can there?
Hmm, howmanyleft shows about 160 licensed, not quite as rare as I was expecting.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
First one that I’ve seen on the road. I can’t imagine it improves with age.

599GTO driving through Bridgnorth.
It sounded like an Essex chav screaming into a 40 gallon drum full of loosely mounted tin cans.
A blarey embarrassment of a noise so I’m guessing it had cats removed or a cheap nasty exhaust.
Looked very very cool mind you.
Dave!

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Followed a Turbo today in a flat grey colour and it looked like a fairly flabby piece of work, albeit made quite a cool whooshing noise away from the lights.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I cant really describe how dissapoint I am that they called it a Turbo. I hope every Engineer in Porsche spent at least one full morning throwing up due to this travesty.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
If it helps, I did roll down the window and shout ‘where’s your turbos hen?!’ at the driver. I think that might be why it made such a whooshing noise away from the lights.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Fake whooshing noises are like spoken dokeys on a middle aged mans bike.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Saw my first Cerbera in about 10 years this morning. It was on a trailer (naturally) but looked pretty damn stunning in a shimmery racing green colour.
Cheers,
Mike.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Don’t seem to see any TVRs at all lately.
I love the Cerbera. Back in the day I used to think they were a big car. They look tiny now.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
There’s a guy around the corner from me who dailies a Chimaera. Bloody lovely thing and looks absolutely tiny next to the e60 it parks over the road from

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Didn't get a picture unfortunately, but a tarted up Mazda5 with dash cam stickers on every window and a tailpipe tip with a ring of red lights in it.
The tailpipe light looked rubbish and was far brighter than the rear lights. What's the point?

Spotted: Richard Hammond. He pulled up behind me, window of his Land Rover down and stuck his head out for a chat.
I’d just nipped down to Apperley to see how far the floodwater reached, but he was planning to go through it. We chatted for a couple of mins before a tractor went through so he went for it. And I videoed the first bit:
