We've hit the <£50k Emira.

As expected, now more are starting to drop out of warranty. Still, it's a whole load of incredibly attractive car for the money...assuming you don't mind bubbly paintwork.

I did say at the end of last year it's where is end up. It's less of a financial barrier now, more of a mental one over if it'd just be driveway ornament. I'm also still wanting someone on TLF to sell me their Military Grey Evora 410....and I saw an Exige V6 the other day, which doesn't help my rampant indecisiveness.

Today’s traffic jam was made slightly more interesting by a Eurofighter Typhoon
Only a model though
Also there was an armoured tracked vehicle on another lorry that I didn’t photograph. I think it was an Ajax. Looked new and modern but not full tank sized.

Saw two Denza B5s this morning heading out of London on the A13. Most badging taped up, on trade plates. Wonder if they’re gearing up for a UK launch.

Spotted this in Tenerife while I was on holiday and totally forgot to post when I got back.
When was the last time you saw one of these?

My mum had one when we were kids - it was hand painted red!
It got replaced by a beige Morris Ital that was dog shit apart from the awesome orangey red velour seats.

Saw an old Fiat Coupe the other day. Too far away for a picture unfortunately but it was the same as this. Still looks like a spaceship among other cars.

I used to really want one. 20 odd years on I think they’ve aged horribly.
I’ll take an Alfa GTV.

I see an A reg MK2 Polo on the way to work most mornings. Looks incongruous parked in Drury Lane.

I saw a yellow one a couple of weeks back, first I'd seen in years. Agreed they've not aged particularly well, but they also looked incredibly small around modern stuff....like most cars of that era I suppose.240PP wrote: Thu Mar 05, 2026 6:55 am I used to really want one. 20 odd years on I think they’ve aged horribly.

Back on the Coupe Fiat, I saw one in Worcester a couple of weeks ago and actually thought how good it looked - but I didn't feel any want for one. Haven't seen a Corrado around for a while and that was what I bought in preference at the time. Oh, and I've just realised it's more like 30 years on; the Fiat launched in 1994 and was in production until 2000 from memory. Never liked the last couple of years' production as much with their body-painted sills; it made the sides look much heavier than the dark sills on the earlier cars.

I never thought they looked awesome, but I do get a little "ooh" when I spot a Fiat Coupe.
Colleague (who was a capable driver) had a 20V that I passengered in a couple of times - most memorably a high-speed trip from Edinburgh to 3-sisters outdoor kart track in Wigan (which I see has now been upgraded and is suitable for cars & bikes too ) for an endurance karting event....
20V was grippy and nippy, and made some great noises.
