When you’re idilly admiring the car as a whole (rather than noting small detail), they’ve integrated the changes very well

You mean small details like the missing giant rear glass panel through which you can see the engine on a GTB?

The bigger the better

He needs it to keep the back end planted down the 1 in 3 gradient he's descending.

Maybe, but a no entry sign and streetlight are a bit excessive.

Getting into the Pikes Peak spirit.

You need one of those driving an MX5 - people can get the wrong impression

No - they have the same sexuality issues but are a bit more butch - i.e. you get to be the plug and not the socket... ergo no sign needed

How very dare you.

For the last 2 weeks on my commute home I've passed a 308 GTS driving the opposite way. C-reg IIRC SO a later one.

Also anyone seen the 205 in the back of shot in the news?

New Rolls Royce - looks very imposing in the metal.

i might have spotted that too today, it definitely had RR presence...

I saw a previous gen Range Rover in metallic Irn Bru that had been converted to a pick up the other day. Previously I've seen a wedge shape Esprit with a numberplate that looked something like Esprit. I've passed a black McLaren of some description the last couple of days too.

I'm just round the corner from Harry Metclalf's place so I'm keeping an eye out for any of his toys.

Galue!



Non car spot, had one of these fly in last night;




A Privet Hawk moth. A big lump with a wingspan of 9-12cm, I wondered what the heck it was at first (we've had the occasional bat before), thumping off of everything it flew into and generally making lots of noise.

Spotted by a mate of mine but bloody hell - doesn't get more rare than this!!

New shape X5...

Oh, and a 250 GTO heading south out of Odiham, a DB5 in Eversley plus a 575 GTC in full race livery last week (I guess prepping for LeMans Classic).
