Thanks; in the late 1960's to early 1970's there were quite a few fast back front engined cars. Whilst the "curvy" Ferrari Daytona was very special indeed, of the "angular" fast backs (eg: Aston Martin DBS, Audi 100 coupe, Iso Rivolta Lele, Lamborghini Jarama, AC 428 and Monterverdi 375L), the Ghibli, for me, was just the most beautiful (and suited a range of different colours). The Ghibli spider was also a bit of a looker too! Just one more pic of the stunning white coupe:

Yes thumbup ... very pretty; but from the next era of designs (late 70's early '80's).

I saw a Lamborghini Diablo down near Rhossilli beach south Wales this afternoon. Brave driver taking it down there. The roads aren't very wide at the best points.

Yes; was amazed to see it there!
My ex used to live near Southampton and when I used to go down she'd take me to the garage (oh, how sad!). They always had some interesting stuff knocking about near the workshop, though the showroom wasn't bad - had a Superamerica in there last year, then I went to the Ferrari Days at Silverstone and saw the same one with a new owner!

I did a track day at Monza last Monday, and there was a stunning grey 430 Scuderia putting in some blistering laps, a 360 Stradale got put into the barriers coming out of Parabolica and an unsilenced Ford GT was fking loud and blowing flames out. All on Italian plates.

A number of other Ferrari's and Porsches were there too.

If you ever get chance to drive Monza, make sure you do it. It's awesome.

Dark blue McMerc SLR pulled up outside The Steam Coach in Boxmoor just as I was walking to the gym. I've seen some very nice cars outside the pub before, but this one takes the cake!

Such a nice colour... cloud9

Hi there,

Not seen much recently until yesterday.

A Orange Gallardo Spider heading north on the M1 just after Tibshelf services at around 4.30pm yesterday.

Then this afternoon a very nice Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (not that special you are thinking) but this was painted in full GT3 RS colours, Black body with Orange wheels and decals. The car was parked up in Rotherham at around 2.35pm this afternoon. Plate was V**DCB.

Lastly a Silver Ferrari 550 again heading north on the M1 around J29 at about 4.35pm this afternoon. Plate was M**GKR.

Regards

Tim
