Spotted a Ferrari SP2 whilst driving. Exact same place I spotted the SP3 a few weeks ago and it looked like the same driver. Must be a proper car nut living nearby!

And saw the new Lotus Evija in a lovely green, but it was being delivered to the Lotus dealership so doesn’t really count.. looked sensational

Mik has beaten me to it. But yes, another white car in Scotland. Obviously everyone wants to camouflage their vehicles in the snow. So have this snowplough which I spotted in the Grampian Transport Museum:

We really should have had a separate “Jobbo’s World Tour Of Scotland” thread.

I’ll do one - haven’t even looked through my photos properly yet

Spotted this when I got into Montenegro.

Dunno if it’s a real active Police Car, you never know over here But the Police in the Cities generally have modern Skodas.



It’s a Zastava 750 or 850, which is a Yugoslav (Serbian) built Fiat 600. Most examples of these I’ve seen are rotting, but this and one other example I’ve seen in the Balkans looked to be in good condition.

A Phantom, this looked longer than the others I’ve been seeing though.



An M5 in baby pink and a blue M4 with a wing stolen from a Gt3RS.





This XJR sounded straight piped and it was glorious !



Annoyingly I was too slow to get a pic of a 4 door bayside blue R34 GTR.

Dave!

Usual reminder to not get upset at paying road tax because things could be like Singapore

This was parked in my local Tesco today. Quite the colour!

Not really. I've seen a lot of white Yaris's around here tbh.

I was referring to the silver Lexus, but fair enough.

My wife's brother's sister (yes, really - it's her half brother (they share a father) and the brother's sister (they share a mother)) has gone and bought a GLC Coupe 63 S E performance thingy. A car I didn't even know existed in AMG form until I saw her posting it on insta.

Then again, she's in the US and is an immigrant so I give it till Christmas until ICE pull her over and send her to.... somewhere.

Related, I saw something badged as a something 63 AMG yesterday, big wheels etc. I couldn't tell you if it was a C or an E, they all look the same. Namely, shit melted blobs.

It made distinctly 4 banger turbo noises as it shot up the road at a rate of knots, probably hitting 100 in the 40 we were in, because new AMG

Proper up there with Audi RS3s as cars almost exclusively owned and driven by raving cunts, but at least they aren't as loud any more.

i was behind a BYD van today, presumably electric like the rest of their car range (confirmed by green number plate). Except it had one strange detail.



why has as electric van got a cut out in the rear bumper for an exhaust?!

i’m presuming it is an all new platform rather than some rehashed existing van?!

Some BYDs are not pure electric. I think they are at least PHEV but it surprised me to find that out.

Something I've never seen before...

Theres someone in Ascot who rides one of them regularly - it’s quite often parked on the high st. i don’t really get it tbh!

Just posting a proper Can Am Spider so I don't have to look at that any more. Ta.

My dad tried them out a couple of times. The concept seems good at first, but then you realise that if you lose a lot of the manoeuvrability around town, the ability to slip between things, park anywhere, etc.

A couple of his mates went for them, but they weren't for him - he preferred his 125cc twist-n-go for bopping around town like a hooligan and heading down to the harbour (where space is often tight to get past badly parked cars on the pier etc)
