The F30 sounded like a parping chavmobile, mind you :lol:
I always thought the E90 sounded a bit shit unless you were really on it. I like the rumble of a good cross plane crank V8 though.

Sat in a supermarket carpark waiting, and a lady that looks to be in her 70s just pulled up in an S2000. Better choice than the gent of similar age parked next to her in a Honda Jazz!

Ah probably not them then, my friends mum has a S2000 and she must be nearly 80, but they are in Weston.

I do wish I had spotted this, as it (and T4 pictured in the following post) is epic 8-)

I saw an old couple driving around in it. It was a little shabby and just looked right because of it. I'm sure it'd be original having looked at it

No one could work on the rotary and weird gearbox when they were new, so a lot of the ones that came here were converted to Ford running gear.

Well it did head towards Bingley (I was behind it until Cottingley).

I saw a really weird one, unfortunately driving so no pics.

Aston Martin DB9 convertible - roof down - driven by an older couple. Hang on a sec there’s a massive Labrador right between them :lol:
It must have been sitting on the centre console arm rest!
How about not having a sig at all?

812 in a shade close to TdF blue with yellow accents doing warp speed. Looked outrageous.

First new Supra, in yellow. Looked and sounded pretty good which was surprising.
