I'd have waved, but he was going too fast.
Must have been doing at least 55 in traffic :lol:

Sorry I didn't spot you Matt. Up or 4C?

Mk4 Golf Harlequin - round the corner from my new house.

I don't know whether to applaud his individuality or have him committed. :lol:

I spotted a new VW Van (is T6 the current model designation?) in Harlequin form the other day. It was no more than a year old so not just a knacker with mismatched body panels. I guess it's a VW scene thing.

Couple of interesting spots when I was walking to the office earlier.

A Cullinan, didn't actually look that ridiculous in traffic. No more than any other big suv anyway.

A couple of 90s sports icons passing each other in the wild. An R32 GTR and a mighty Ford Puma, must've been quite a rare scenario.

In the Up (the 4C is still broken). I was sitting stationary heading southbound and spotted the plate.

I'm really lucky that my commute is the opposite direction to the main flow of traffic - the queues on the M6 southbound from the M54 to J10 each morning look bonkers.

I was stuck in the middle of about 60 classic cars earlier. I thought they were all doing a rally but got to the crematorium at which point they all turned off to enter it. Must have been a big classic car enthusiast that passed away.
How about not having a sig at all?

Not my photo, but spotted this very car on the M4 today.

Don't see many of those around, I didn't know they sold any TBH! :lol:

Viper V10 IIRC. I remember seeing all the release photos etc when they first came out, but don't recall actually seeing any reviews at the time.

This Vauxhall Victor.. complete with slot mags and a tasty V8 with a fantastic rumble from idle. The dark green was lovely, reminded me of Harry Metcalfe's XJ's new colour. Can only find the no plate on a Vauxhall FD register's.xls file so got no other info :cry:

Just spotted an Ioniq 5 at the petrol station (being jetwashed, natch).

Definitely an eye catching design in the metal, some interesting creases and lines, and not quite as big as I was expecting (although not at all small)

Wonder whether it'll still stand out as much once they're a bit more common?

Yeah, I saw one today. Not as striking as the photos made it look tbh. Just a hatchback with some stripes.

Spotted that dark grey Alfa 4C on the M6 again this morning - since it was early before the sun came up, I wasn't initially sure if it might be Matty approaching in his.
