Spotted this beaut while going out for a walk today.

Apologies for the potato-cam style picture.

Finish was rather rough and it was smoking and, by the smell, running rich. Also rather loud (to the surprise of no-one).

Sadly didn't get pictures of the 60s Mustang coupe and C2 Corvette convertible we also saw.

Those rear arches are a bit lotus Carlton to my eyes, the fronts just look crap though

Could be. But it looked very much like whoever did it ran out of talent before they finished it.

Saw a bright red Morgan today. Not the aero one, the traditional one. I’ve never been a fan but today cruising along in the sun it looked spot-on.

Some nutcase actually bought one :shock:
Didn’t have carbon brakes so it’s not the £72k one :lol:

I was behind one the other week. Couldn't see if it had the brakes though. Looked pretty good i thought. Also looked very stiff!

Were the CF wheels on all of them or was that an extra too?

Both were options iirc and I think only two UK ones have been ordered with both (one of which is Renault's demo).

Saw an 18 plate 725Ld. Didn't know it existed! First four pot 7 series apparently.

Edit: not a popular engine option, none for sale on AT at all.

Now I want I ride in the back. I thought it was a pick up truck conversion when I saw it from far.

Gotto be some sort of Camera rig no ?? Edit - just seen the window sticker... :lol:

My neighbour's been working on extending his driveway for the past few months and the reason has become clear - a Maserati GranTurismo has arrived on his drive - very fruity it sounds too.

One odd thing though is that he's parking it right at the edge of his driveway, right by the footpath and he has no wall or hedge dividing it from the path. On the other hand, his VW T5 is parked right away from everything in front if his garage ?

Call me paranoid but I'd park them the other way round if I had both.

Round here the Maserati might get keyed, but the t4 would get broken in, have bits stolen off it or just get stolen, so the van would be at higher risk

You might be right jamcg...

It looks like he has it for Mountain Biking so possibly full of kit and the occasional bike - all easily re-sellable.

I'll keep an eye out and report back when the Masser is Keyed :lol:

Yeah, I googled the plate and curiously this Jalopnik story says it’s an actual Ford creation. The fiesta looks hilarious though :lol:

A white A110 passed me yesterday afternoon locally. Very nice. Still can't decide what colour I'll get one in, when I get around to having one. I quite like the white on them actually, even though normally it's a colour think looks terrible on most cars.
