Phew! Just made it out, eh Ascender!?

Twat.

To keep the pretence going, where about do you stay @scotta?

Tranent. Estate next to the traffic lights on the Elphinstone road.

Saw a new M2 on the motorway this morning in black this time. Looked better than Zandvoort blue to me. Probably because black hid the silly styling flourishes.

Saw my first 73 plate today. Rolls Royce Cullinan in a weird greyish beige putty like colour. Looked as ridiculous as you'd expect. Saw a black 72 plate one shortly after, and that looked equally ridiculous.

The better spot was a Ferrari 812 GTS Aperta.

Nice - where was this - central london?

No, down here in my neck of the woods. I've seen it around before, so I assume he must be fairly local.

Stunning orange 918 today going south from Edinburgh. Unfortunately being driven by an absolute cvnt with a death wish.

Cool amongst the usual exotics

I would put money on that being the Wam Barn car that has featured on Carwow...

My BIL saw a mint Ferrari GT 250 California parked up in London yesterday.

That’s got to be a £20m car no??

Are they into cars?

It’s possible, but there’s a far higher chance it was a z3 based replica!

I’ve seen two new Defender 130s recently; big busses and weird overhangs.. are they 8 seaters? Not sure why anyone would get one if only seven seats

ETA: and a bright yellow 911 with the reg LLH 911K..

Might be - he got my sister to take a pic so I'll see if the reg plate is visible...

I thought only the GTO commanded that kinda money? Probably a £10m car though?

250 GTOs are in the $50m+ so not inconceivable for a California to be that much

Well you were right...

It is a Rennuci CalSpyder

I saw a yellow 250 the other day, though it looked suspiciously Z3 shaped....

I saw one on Harry's garage this weekend and I think that's a real one, fella had got some other reasonable motors as well

I guess there was a car show on yesterday as I saw some Jap stuff, and a liberty walk F430 in the A1M yesterday.

Looked like something out of GTA5, not in a good way

Pretty sure the number plate was G20 BAG

Wasn't as mad stanced as that though, which is probably good as it was hammering it with rain

This one at the Goodwood Revival yesterday was also a replica - though apparently (according to Ed Callow, the authority on these things) based on a 330GT.. which appears to be a third of a million quid car in their own right (though probably not when the original donor car was used to make this as that was back in the '70s).





To be honest I'd rather have that rep than an unusuable 52million quid car too precious to be taken out of a hermetically sealed unit. Speaking of replicas, there were lots of tempting Cobra reps there too - some for 40k ish which was very tempting!

I’m guessing it was on air bags. I love liberty walk cars tbh.

They’ve been talking about that 250 California rep on PH. Apparently about £1mil to commission one. You can get a real Ferrari for that.
