Spotted today: a nice pink Boxster outside the Plaza Hotel:


Also, I fancied seeing where people start their Cannonball attempts. Red Ball Garage on East 31st Street:



Oh, and… I Like Turtles! (in Central Park):

Spotted in Newport Pagnell yesterday evening. It was absolutely mint condition - not a mark on it, inside and out.





It's been featured in a few publications...

That's lovely. Hopefully it drives better than the Beetle based Speedster rep I drove recently

Seeeeriously long!



New SL - owned by 4D wankers from new seemingly.

[Jobbo]

I saw a new SL AMG from behind the other day. The front looks pretty standard Merc but the rear is much more sculpted and muscular, almost like a 991 Turbo.

There’s a particular small item on this Ferrari which makes my teeth itch (and no, it’s not the parking). I looked the F8 up online and thankfully they don’t come with it as standard and it’s an optional extra.

Can anyone spot it?

[dinny_g]

Is it the nose camera??

[Mito Man]

Is it the nose camera??

YES! It looks like a fecking nipple! And it’s so much more bulbous and pronounced in reality.

[dinny_g]

You're note wrong Mito...

All that money to develop a car and they can't find a way to conceal it a bit better - and the parking sensors on either side

[GG.]

To be honest the whole design of that one looks a mess - not just the nose wart. I really dislike even the wheels which look like a terrible 80s pastiche.

[dinny_g]

nose wart.

[ZedLeg]

Yeah, it's not a looker. I wonder if it'll be a grower though. I used to think the 360 looked like an egg but I quite like it now.

Seems like doors are an optional extra with Ferrari these days! So no great surprise there.

Directional alloy wheels always look wrong!

A loooong time ago, there was an advert in one of my Viz annuals (it may have been for Slug Nails - can't remember) that stated "Note: Price does not include price". That's getting closer to reality in the automotive world....
