My first thought too - Duncs, they've got your old hood

My first 70 plate today. 1st was possibly my best 1st new plate spot ever - a black M5 Comp

2nd was a transit hogging the middle lane

Can't top that. Someone to the road got a new GLC today. That's about it.

Spotted an Ariel Nomad on the B-road from Stow on the Wold to Tewkesbury on Saturday. It was pretty muddy and looked cool as fuck, though I don't know anywhere in the UK you could legally drive it properly without having to pay - it would ruin green lanes if you put your foot down. Realised I have actually seen one on the road before, in Southwold around Christmas a few years ago, though that wasn't covered in dirt.

On the M5 this morning, a Corsa in its death throes. I must have caught its dying moments because it was blowing out clouds of blue smoke and as I passed it, I opened the window a touch and could hear the horrible rattle. I think it must have just made it up the slip road. Reminded me of that Carwow video where Ma Twatson drove three cars without any oil until they died:

There's a 20 plate blue one that keeps driving past, stinks of fumes even when driven sensibly.

Good spot on the Nomad

A few days back I saw a white E30 M3 driving coastward on the M2. Have seen a couple of mk8 Golfs, rather meh so far.

Just seen my first Honda E, in blue on a 20 (so I still havnae seen a 70 yet ). It was only a drive by spot of a parked one, it elicited more of an oh than an ooh - not sure if that was down to the colour or the angle - but hopefully it's local so I'll get a chance for a better look.

Saw the E again. Hmm, not convinced yet, looks a bit of a pudding, but I'm not sure I've seen it in it's best light or colour yet. More ev spottage with a couple of ID.3s, one turquoise, one grey. To me it looked better in turquoise but both seemed more comfortable in their skin than the couple of mk8 Golfs I've seen. A stand out on the M2 was a three door 309 GTI, reg A 16V HP (I think, last two letters may be wrong). It was very red, but then I guess any still about are going to be looked after and not faded to feck. I can't think of the last time I saw any 309, never mind a GTI. Oh, and just before that, a GT86/BRZ driven by someone who looked about ninety

Saw a blue 5 door 309 GTi the other day and was going to post on here because it’s so long since I saw one.

Our local Peugeot dealer had a light blue base model 309 sat on top of a skip as part of a scrap page scheme advert up until a month or so ago. Always made me lol as even that was far more desirable than any of the new cars parked outside

Didn't manage to get a photo but saw a lovely 1992 silver Honda NSX in my local B & Q car park at the weekend.

I always had a far stronger desire for a 309GTi than a 205 1.9GTi - even though they were much uglier. Mates mum had one new when I was a youngling - used to wind me up enormously at the time as she was the worlds slowest driver.

That Impala is lovely

Saw a Taycan at the supermarket. It’s a really good looking thing.

Seen a few in Cheltenham - mostly parked in disabled spaces at supermarkets. Very good looking, but it also looks enormous.

Turbo S one drove in front of me yesterday, it looks very Porsche, and as Jobbo says, huge.

Ferrari Dino GT on the M54 on Saturday heading towards Telford/Shrews. Quite an awkward looking car IMO.

I expect all modern luxosportbarges to be huge so it looked about right (my mate’s M5 felt like an absolute bus until you got it up to speed). I think the back lights suit a bigger car more than the 911.

Fair point.
