I also saw that parked on Saturday at about 4.45pm

Edited as it was Yesterday not Friday as I originally put .... Not a good sign that my memory can not recall one day ago

I'm not joking when i say this; i have just seen one of the Queen's old Daimler's at the Leamington/Warwick/Harbury/Bishops Tachbrook crossroads! It must have been one of the Queen's old cars because it had an extended wheelbase and the shield on the roof which lights up when royalty is present!

When i get home i'll try and get a picture off the Internet.

There was a car show this weekend in Coventry, and i think there was another show at the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon, so it may have come from one of these events?

Was also a big classic car event at Wollaton Hall, had a wander round earlier but didn't take a camera. Some nice metal about though.

E38 7 Series diesel!?! Now that's a rarity. Quite refreshing/interesting to see a 458 without a private plate too!

Red with Blue and white stripe 458 speciale near Burabge just off the A5 on Saturday afternoon.

Only caught the back of it and my phone was flat.

Hopefully I can see it again.

Porsche Speedster 356 in Silver... I only spotted for about 10secs so no idea if it was replica

Hi Jason - hows the Tiv ?

Might be meeting another PH's with an NSX at some point if you want, mini-solihull meet lol.


Anyway - Saw a lovely classic Mustang (I think) on Solihull Bypass, sounding lovely, let me past with a blast on his horn.

Hello Alastair..

Loving it is the answer would like the rain to go away as I don't like to get it dirty and wet

Had a nice drive to Warwick via a few other places(80 miles) on Saturday just after seeing that Ferrari parked up on the Stratford road. Also put up a post on your forums a black one of yours I spotted on Broad lane but had no feedback.

When the sun decides to show it's face again I would be up for a mini-Solihull meet

NSX sounds interesting (Never looked at one of those closely).. Diary is pretty clear and am available 99% of the time at short notice.. I'm down in London 20-23rd June for a TVR hoon TITT(Thunder in the Tunnels)... But for sure defiantly up for a meet

Battleship Grey GT-R with no rear wing came flying up behind me this morning M69 towards the M1.

Sounded bloody lovely after moving over to let him past and could still hear it half a mile away.

Saw a Metallic Grey Tesla this morning on the Colwick loop road, can't remember the exact letter/number combination of the plate, however it was close enough to spell Tesla.

In total contrast to your spot

DA xx TAY. Range rover Sport, not entirely sure if you would class it as midlands but on the m6 southbound on Wednesday mid morning. Ph smiley on the back. I was in the grey rs6

Red corvette in Telford spotted yesterday and today. Also saw a Aventador Roadster in Wolverhampton yesterday morning.

Sorry no photo I was both driving and shocked to see, in a raging thunderstorm and downpour along the Birmingham Road in Stratford on Avon this afternoon, a gorgeous red EType Roadster, obviously the top was up, driver had a contrasting Pink T shirt on.....!

Saw a white Alpha 4C on my way home from work tonight. Bloody gorgeous. Made my evening.
