They go down further than many people think

Pah, one of those would never take out the Titanic.

We've hit the <£50k Emira.

As expected, now more are starting to drop out of warranty. Still, it's a whole load of incredibly attractive car for the money...assuming you don't mind bubbly paintwork.

So what's the highest price you'll pay then Matty?

Right - c'mon - you said that was your cut off. Get purchasing!

I did say at the end of last year it's where is end up. It's less of a financial barrier now, more of a mental one over if it'd just be driveway ornament. I'm also still wanting someone on TLF to sell me their Military Grey Evora 410....and I saw an Exige V6 the other day, which doesn't help my rampant indecisiveness.

Today’s traffic jam was made slightly more interesting by a Eurofighter Typhoon

Only a model though

Also there was an armoured tracked vehicle on another lorry that I didn’t photograph. I think it was an Ajax. Looked new and modern but not full tank sized.

The Waymos are a coming

Saw two Denza B5s this morning heading out of London on the A13. Most badging taped up, on trade plates. Wonder if they’re gearing up for a UK launch.

Spotted this morning - Even superheroes need breakdown cover.

[Delphi]

Spotted this in Tenerife while I was on holiday and totally forgot to post when I got back.

When was the last time you saw one of these?

[Rich B]

My mum had one when we were kids - it was hand painted red!

It got replaced by a beige Morris Ital that was dog shit apart from the awesome orangey red velour seats.

The Waymos are a coming

Saw them today along with a Wayve Ford Mustang doing similar.. can’t be any worse than Uber drivers tbh

[ZedLeg]

Saw an old Fiat Coupe the other day. Too far away for a picture unfortunately but it was the same as this. Still looks like a spaceship among other cars.

I used to really want one. 20 odd years on I think they’ve aged horribly.

I’ll take an Alfa GTV.

[DeskJockey]

I see an A reg MK2 Polo on the way to work most mornings. Looks incongruous parked in Drury Lane.

I saw a yellow one a couple of weeks back, first I'd seen in years. Agreed they've not aged particularly well, but they also looked incredibly small around modern stuff....like most cars of that era I suppose.

Do you work at the Muffin Man's shop?

Back on the Coupe Fiat, I saw one in Worcester a couple of weeks ago and actually thought how good it looked - but I didn't feel any want for one. Haven't seen a Corrado around for a while and that was what I bought in preference at the time. Oh, and I've just realised it's more like 30 years on; the Fiat launched in 1994 and was in production until 2000 from memory. Never liked the last couple of years' production as much with their body-painted sills; it made the sides look much heavier than the dark sills on the earlier cars.

I never thought they looked awesome, but I do get a little "ooh" when I spot a Fiat Coupe.

Colleague (who was a capable driver) had a 20V that I passengered in a couple of times - most memorably a high-speed trip from Edinburgh to 3-sisters outdoor kart track in Wigan (which I see has now been upgraded and is suitable for cars & bikes too ) for an endurance karting event....

20V was grippy and nippy, and made some great noises.

Nearly.
