Going past the Poly Met Beckett Uni this evening, passed a 64 reg BMW i8 going towards City Hall, with an Audi R8 a couple of cars behind it. Seems a bit of a coincidence for them not to be together.

Why do they have to be together? Because they've both got an 8 in the name? No other similarities:

2 seats vs 4 seats
Hybrid vs V8/V10
Very new class of supercar vs a car that's been around since 2007
Audi vs BMW - oh wait both German - must be together then, rare to see German cars on the road. Must be the monthly German Car Club outing.

pffft I thought this place was full of car fans! Did you not know that nice cars like the above only ever venture out when in the company of other nice cars?

Well they are both pretty (or very in the case of the i8) rare, and they were 2 cars apart. Maybe I just imagine the respective owners to be in similar demographics? Relatively uncommon German sports cars (seats and power plant isn't that relevant) in a sea of thousands of bland diesel boxes. Yes, random happenstance could have brought them together in slow moving city centre traffic, but it seems unlikely.

ETA: Go on, admit it, it was you, with your butler following on behind with your smoking jacket biggrin

There was a nice electric blue coloured very noisy R8 coming down Merrion Street the other week when I was walking from Manahatta.

Also pulled out behind a nice white Aston V8V on the A58 approaching the Armley gyratory yesterday about 2pm.

I saw a smiley on Pool Bank last night but I can't for the life of me remember what it was on or what time it was as I did a few trips up there

Also saw a blue BMW M6 on pool bank yesterday morning, looked awesome

65 plate Defender 110 Heritage near West Park this afternoon. Looked rather nice, I'm betting the 90 looks even better.

Exchanged a wave with a very nice yellow E92M3 as I was heading out of Wakefield in my white/black E92 M3.

I haven't been to Wakefield since I lived there briefly for 4 months in the late eighties. Nowt's changed eh.

Orange Mclaren drove down Stockton Lane the other day, I've never seen it before. Is it local?
