Far more interesting than some shitbox italian soft roader for people trying to impress their millionaire pals - I saw an S-suffix Cortina wagon in red last night, and it was fucking mint.

Much like this

Didn’t someone recently go on about a Guila in some special shade of red which was very rare but looked the bollocks?
I think I saw one yesterday and I agree.

C8 Vette - I keep forgetting these were sold here in RHD. I’ve always seen them on their own and whilst not the prettiest car they look alright. Then I saw this parked next to a row of Ferraris and its a bit rubbish :lol:

Can’t place my finger on it but it looked really underwhelming in comparison. Maybe it needs a Z06 package.
How about not having a sig at all?

I have a contribution from the other end of the spectrum too...

Not something I'd get too excited about personally but I imagine it will be of interest to some of you guys.

We had one almost identical ! Reg was SKR 176R, DVLA says it's not been taxed since September 1989 which was quite possibly when we sold it.

Black LaFerrari with the plate 2XX. Gave it a launch off the red light and managed to get hit the limiter in both first and second in a very short distance. Curiously I did check and it seems to be geared to 120kmh in 2nd which is a tiny bit more than the 20 mph speed limit :lol:

Just around the corner from here. I went past it about 3pm yesterday when it had clearly only just happened - traffic stopped & people standing around. This photo is today. I’m not even sure how they managed to do it. It’s not a fast piece of road. Looks like they bounced off the tree and slid back down into the bus stop ? Could have been VERY nasty. It was school chucking out time so if they’d been slightly to the left and there was a bunch of kids there ??

At least one of the directors at my work is a CG, there was a Ferrari 812 Comp parked outside yesterday when I was leaving. Another one has a Maybach S600.

Spotting the cars is cool but parking £600k car at work when the average salary is just bumping £30k seems gauche :lol:

Istanbul on Monday. I’m assuming they’re not actual cop cars.
