Being cool is literally the least important thing in the world. Do what you like.

cool.

Or not, whatever's cool with you.

Or not.

See why so many people in London have a Range Rover/911/Bentley/sports car.

I do have all of those but I don’t live in London. I’m DIW, again.

[Jobbo]

I don't understand why anyone would drive into a city if they didn't have to and doing things because you have to is never cool. Simple logic

What about if they live in that city and want to own a nice car? Isn't it cooler to live in a loft in Manhattan than a suburban condo? I'm only going back to your original denial that it's cool because I think your views are inconsistent.

Drive what you like and enjoy your life. Just know that if you're sitting in city traffic in a supercar some cunt like me filtering past on their bike is going to judge you .

Cool as a thing is subjective so anything can be cool to you if you can justify it.

There can be many good reasons why the diver had their car in Manhattan but (imo) expensive cars aren't in themselves cool and expensive cars bimbling around cities are even less cool.

To completely contradict myself though, I used to see a Carrera GT that seemed to be daily driven into Edinburgh and that was cool, ditto the Aston V12 Vantage that used to get driven in (from the borders I think) whatever the weather.

I think intent and context matters, seeing an expensive new car in a city once is meh. Seeing the same car being used every day is pretty cool.

All completely irrelevant of course as your measure of what's cool is likely to be different from mines.

Found out the other day, that this exact car (complete with the same number plate) lives a couple of streets from me

it's on a street that also includes (also street-parked) a GR Yaris, a new RS3, and an M5 Comp

It's bloody gorgeous in the flesh, and I could very happily have it over a newer, 'better' GT product

On my way to this..

Some impressive stats on the new Callum vehicle; electric multiterrain, only weighs 1150kg, sub 4s, 170 mile range

SKYE 4m long 1.9m wide Interesting, I hope more info is out soon https://callumdesigns.com/skye

Sounds conflicted? Multi terrain vehicle designed for exploring the world and going to remote places but then has such a limited range you probably struggle to leave your own country let alone go exploring some far flung place which probably doesn’t have a supercharger

Will it get away with those arches for the road? They barely cover the wheels.

I apologise for the crappy pic, it was quite a wet day out!

[Mito Man]

Looks quite similar to the Audi thing.

1. A white 991 (non GT flavour) as I came through the Clyde tunnel. Commented to Mrs mik that you rarely see white non-GT 911s, and 15 seconds later a white 997 came the other way.

2. AC 3000. Never seen one before - only really recognised it due to a set of Top Trumps cards I had a a kid!

No need to worry, it will not be an issue. It's a wildly ambitious concept car that will never go into production cf: the new Griffith etc.

[integrale_evo]

I have never seen one of those before!

Only cabrio I’ve seen was the one built for Mrs Agnelli based on an evo.

I like the ducktail spoiler. I expect it’s somewhat flexible on cornering

[Sundayjumper]

It’s not far from here, I’ve not seen the Delta parked there before but the resident is an obvious Italian car perv, that’s a Fiat Coupe peeking in on the right, and choosing matching yellow for whatever the thing is on the left is a strong move.

I can feel the scuttle shake from here
