Teh Spotted Thread

[duncs500]

Went past an F40 on trade plates on the M25, I think it might actually be the first time I've seen one on the road. Spotted him cruising in the slow lane as I was passing, so slowed down and pulled in to see if I could admire it a little longer. The driver duly crossed a few lanes behind me and hammered past me, naturally I got my window down as I saw him making the move. Was duly greeted by a several gun salute has he came past and lifted off. It was proper loud.

I'm not usually a F40 pant wetter, but it just seemed like a special special car. Was buzzing for ages after seeing it.

I've seen quite a few F40s out and about bizarrely (always special though!!), but I had a first for me yesterday, a McMerc SLR. I have to say, I just don't like them!!

Nice.

Hands up if you have never seen an F40 on the road.

I saw one on the road once as well, on the other side of a dual carriageway so didn't get to see it for long though

Looks like the one that is always parked near my office

Huh. Where are you based ? This was in Camberley.

Near Shoreditch, so not impossible that it's the same one, although I think the one I pass is a bit tattier, will take a pic next time I see it.

Ok seeing them side by side definitely not the same car
Your one looks much nicer.

[Rich B]

Nice.

The streets are lined with them round here...

I saw Dario Franchitti’s F40 parked in Edinburgh once, had a proper poke around it

Not the rarest car I’ve ever seen oddly.

Quite a few years ago travelling back from Silverstone in my Clio v6, an F40 and F50 passed me on the m1. I dropped in behind them and followed them for a few miles taking in the view and awesome sounds

[Explosive Newt]

Passed by a bright orange Exige S with the plate ‘EXIIGE S’

[Jobbo]

Bright blue Jaguar Project 8 making a lovely sound as it passed the pub, heading towards Stourbridge this afternoon.

We struggled to shift them in 2010-2012 at Landmark, so if we ever had two in stock one would be hidden in the basement! £300-£360k at that time…

[integrale_evo]

Yeah, as supercars go they’re not all that rare, although I expect they’re fairly rare to see being used these days. At one point you could pick them up for £250k which although a lot of money want much more than a mortgage on a decent house, and were moderate windfall attainable rather than needing a euro millions win

[Matty]

A white Ariel Atom and a white KTM XBow convoying in Stourbridge this afternoon. Neither were wearing a face covering and didn't seem like they were enjoying it either.

Also, Fezza 360. They've not aged well at all.

[240PP]

I’ve warmed to the 360 over the years. The F355 was and is one of my favourite looking cars ever so I thought the 360 was an utter pig but it has grown on me somewhat.

430 over the 360 though.

[integrale_evo]

Most 360s just look like plastic kitcar ferraris, red and yellow particularly prone to it.

I think the CS versions look amazing though. Surprising how much difference some wheels, lowering and a dash of neg camber makes.

[ZedLeg]

I think that the kit that squares off some of the curves helps.

I always preferred the Spider to the coupe. The flat deck over the engine is much better than the coupe.

+1 on this.

[speedingfine]

Vanden Plas correctness.

^ Good spot, nice pic

Saw my first Lexus LC 500 on the road today. How long have they been out?
