They're not exactly the same colours, the wheels on the Wraith aren't colour coded like the Chiron, aam oot.

I had a BMW XM behind me today in all its black and gold glory.

It is just as foul in real life.

So it is, it might be on the spocks also. I blame the darker colour making it less obvious :oops:

It goes without saying (don’t know, travelling the opposite way to me on the motorway).

A Vanquish Zagati rumbled past whilst I was walking one of my dogs yesterday. I understand they are rare. Second Aston I have seen in a week that looked really good.

Picture from a library.

Tonight’s spotted is a Lincoln of some sort.

I think it’s F150 based, as it looks quite similar.
How about not having a sig at all?

I thought I was behind a new Chinese car earlier, most likely something produced by the Oreo Cat company

No. That’s actually the new Mini. And it’s utterly ruined.

Compared to the new Mini Countryman, which looks like a Ssangyong, I’d say that’s pretty good. They’ve got rid of those appalling Brexit rear lights at least.

ETA: on closer look they are still part of the union flag but being triangular they don’t look so bad. Hmm.

I saw an in the wild photo of one yesterday for the first time, if it wasn’t for the mini badge I never would have guessed it was a mini. Even then I thought it was a random Chinese thing with a badge stuck on.

They’ve got the same problem as the fiat 500, when you base your whole design model around a 1960’s automotive icon there’s only so much you can actually do with the styling. The electric 500 looks great I think, but that’s only the 3rd update to that cars look, whereas this is the 4th or 5th of the mini? So it’s kind of a finding something to change so that people will want it and also so that people who know nothing about cars will recognise it as something new
