Easy access and tight once you're in - ooh er.

Far more interesting than some shitbox italian soft roader for people trying to impress their millionaire pals - I saw an S-suffix Cortina wagon in red last night, and it was fucking mint.

Much like this

Didn’t someone recently go on about a Guila in some special shade of red which was very rare but looked the bollocks?
I think I saw one yesterday and I agree.


C8 Vette - I keep forgetting these were sold here in RHD. I’ve always seen them on their own and whilst not the prettiest car they look alright. Then I saw this parked next to a row of Ferraris and its a bit rubbish

Can’t place my finger on it but it looked really underwhelming in comparison. Maybe it needs a Z06 package.

I have a contribution from the other end of the spectrum too...



Not something I'd get too excited about personally but I imagine it will be of interest to some of you guys.

We had one almost identical ! Reg was SKR 176R, DVLA says it's not been taxed since September 1989 which was quite possibly when we sold it.

Saw one in black the other week. Complete dog’s dinner.

It was me, and yes, they look great.

Just don't damage the paint because....it ain't gonna match.

Black LaFerrari with the plate 2XX. Gave it a launch off the red light and managed to get hit the limiter in both first and second in a very short distance. Curiously I did check and it seems to be geared to 120kmh in 2nd which is a tiny bit more than the 20 mph speed limit

Just around the corner from here. I went past it about 3pm yesterday when it had clearly only just happened - traffic stopped & people standing around. This photo is today. I’m not even sure how they managed to do it. It’s not a fast piece of road. Looks like they bounced off the tree and slid back down into the bus stop ? Could have been VERY nasty. It was school chucking out time so if they’d been slightly to the left and there was a bunch of kids there ??

At least one of the directors at my work is a CG, there was a Ferrari 812 Comp parked outside yesterday when I was leaving. Another one has a Maybach S600.

Spotting the cars is cool but parking £600k car at work when the average salary is just bumping £30k seems gauche

Same at my old place. MD and CEO always parked their Range Rovers and Mclarens within spitting distance of the sales staffs ratty Corsas and Fiestas.

Looked fucking ridiculous.

Fnarrrrrrr.

Istanbul on Monday. I’m assuming they’re not actual cop cars.

Both part of a collection that was seized and put to work by the Turkish police.
