Volcano Red?
Possibly. Didn’t speak to the owner - heard “mclaren colour” from a bloke with a chunky DSLR who was trying to take pics of it.

Spotted this morning outside a longstanding small garage on the outskirts of Bromsgrove: a white Triumph Stag with the reg 5TAG. Googled it and found photos of 725TAG and 15TAG but none of this car; but a DVLA check confirms the reg is on a white 2997cc Triumph so I think it's genuine.

I love seeing adverts for registrations for sale that go to the effort of saying "unique reg !" as if that's not THE ENTIRE POINT OF A REGISTRATION NUMBER.

That colour, those wheels and black/silver plate so I suspect so. Well found.

Something was happening around the York area, I saw loads of Ferraris, McLarens, Porsches and Lambos including a Countach and also an unusual thing that could have been a Gumpert Apollo.

Oh, and they all had crazy stickers on them.

The weather was good, the dog needed a walk so I decided to drive down to Battersea Power Station just off the chance that there were still a few cars left. The roads towards the entrance were all closed I think, judging by the gridlock traffic and I didn’t fancy parking in Battersea park and walking 20 mins so just went back to King’s road and spotted a Grenadier parked off the main road.
Let’s just say the picture was inspired by Beany’s specialist technique of having the subject out of shot and out of focus :oops:

I thought it looked good parked up in its natural habitat, and a nice change from the new Defender which seems to be the most popular car here after the Mini.

Ah I see what the laughing thing was for, I've been driving a lot today! The odd thing was Schmee in his purple whatever it is!

I followed one last week and thought it looked better than I expected.

No pics as was driving but a McLaren 720S Spider in dark green parked by the side of the road in Dulwich. Looked pretty cool I must say and the skeletal treatment of the lights certainly works better in a darker colour scheme.

St Leonard's Terrace often has some interesting machinery (and fabulous houses). Where I usually park if we're doing some shopping in Chelsea. Weird coincidence as a photo popped up on my phone this morning of an SL 55 with the reg "SL55 AMG" parked there.

An old friend of mine moved to Phily and has a Rivian. It replaced one of his Model 3's. Looks mean in black and supposedly is a much nicer ownership experience so far.
