New NSX in Bicester, it's a proper head turner 8-) . Saw a 720S in Glasgow last week, it's very wide looking not sure if I like it or not.

Saw an Arctic Trucks Hilux this morning. Wasn’t on the full on balloon tyres but it was jacked up on fairly big rubber.

Looked tough.
An absolute unit

Neighbour has an Arctic Isuzu on order - never heard of or seen one but the pictures online look good with the massive tyres and arch extensions. Apparently the dealership hasn’t even sold one. It has the same bed capacity as the regular version too whereas the Ranger Raptor is quite a bit lower so he couldn’t get that.
How about not having a sig at all?

New Z4. Didn’t realise these were on the road yet. Badged with M40i. Looked quite chunky, almost SL kind of size. Seemed to have a sloping towards the front type stance, bit like an S2000.

Best and only pic I could get.

The arse looks rather thick - looks like it needs 22” wheels to balance it out.

They're really not, imo. Seen a couple at the dealership a few doors down and the proportions are just weird. It looks like the 8, but squashed in one of those car crushers things to about 2/3 size.

i did some googling after, the rear looks great to me, the front looks awful though. Sounds like I need to see one in the flesh!

Just occurred to me that BMW have gone back to a canvas roof with the new one.

Carry on.

They are both so bland I can’t be bothered to leave my car to look at them. The Z4 looks worse than the previous generation.

By god that's rubbish. The way the headlights tilt up towards the sides looks like they're asking for someone to put those fake eyelashes on them.

Whoever is in charge of BMW design at the moment needs to be thrown in the sea. If they could tie him to the guy that ruined the back of the new 911 that would be excellent too.

ETA: that guy with the i8 has also unintentionally put my exact thoughts about them on his number plate. "Yeaaah" as I see the front. Silence as I look it the discordant mess of a rear and "Nah" when I remember it has a 3 cylinder engine :lol:

Took this a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't look as nice in reality as that photo, oddly. Then, I was never a fan of the previous generation of 6 coupe. The 6GC though...

Fortunately for you not many people do so the residuals have tanked. Cheapest ones now around the price of a sensible miles 997.2 Carrera S.
