So small, so cool

Saw a 2025 Vanquish today in a sort of olivey grey (possibly "California Sage" on the configurator). Body coloured rear panel thing. Looked awesome.

Euphemism?

Didn't get a shot as I was joining the A556, but just as I was merging an E91 M3 came past Good to see that there have been a couple of other conversions now.

What was odd is that we saw a G81 M3 yesterday and my son asked what it was, which prompted a convo about how it was the first M3 Touring and that there hadn't been an M3 version of our 3-series.

ID Buzz towing a boat along the side of Loch Lomond. Wonder what that did to the range?

Seemed to be a Ferrari meet around Tenterden. Think I saw every model of the last 30 years apart from the hypercars and really limited edition stuff.
Also a Jensen Interceptor meet going on.
A lot of Morgans out and about too. Some really old 30’s 40’s cars too which I’m clueless on.

Love it - such a good colour for them. Much better than Guards, Grand Prix White or Black IMO.

Moved to the correct thread

Copied over from PH:

Fitted a new large DISA valve yesterday. Old one was still rock solid though - no slack in it and I couldn't budge it. Slight oil weep but not too shabby. Car's done 140k and is 19yo this year so I'm pretty impressed given the state you see some DISAs in. The old one is good enough to be put back in the spares box for now.

Also fitted new PAS reservoir mounts (the rubber bits), a new pipe clip, cabin filter and a few new screws here and there. Also waxed a few areas of the chassis rail with Dynax UC as there's some minor bubbling starting - mainly where there are pipe clips that have been rubbing.

Also there seemed to be an unusual amount of fine gravel (I assume just general road detritus) on top of the chassis rail. You'd think it had been taken rallying. Weird

TBF, that is the exact state of every DISA valve i’ve ever seen in my life….*


*what’s a DISA valve?

What the fook is that

Not my spotted, but

JayKay in his 8C with the plate "RED 8C" is CAF

Controversially, I don't think the 8C is aging particularly well for looks. I know some people have found it a little awkward even at launch, but I used to love it.....but less so now. I don't think the perspective on this camera/lens/whatever does it any favours. They still sound absolutely incredible though.

[Jobbo]

Based on that video I agree Matt. When I first saw the 8C I thought it was just the most beautiful car of all time and now it looks almost generic. I think the 4C is more enjoyable to look at in fact - it’s not as classically shaped but it has more drama and interest even nearly a decade since I saw my first one.

Good job the 8C doesn’t have pop-up headlights or it’d be in that other thread

Saw an MG Cyberster today. I had a real ‘Wow, what’s that’ moment then saw the MG badge. Looked really good.

No pic but a lovely Honda NSX, driving past Aston Martin on Tickford St.

Not really sure this constitutes a spotted - maybe more of a "Randomness" but anyway...

Last year I was ferried home in an Uber Exec Mercedes which had a full Rolls Royce starlight headliner thing going on...



Last night I met its alter ego - illuminated floormats! I mean, the head spins.
