Saw gunmetal Ferrari in sainsbury carpark Falmouth,then saw black mk4 R32,orange TVR & the first new boxster i've seen all parked up at Castle Drive Falmouth,guess the nice weather bought everyone out!

Sounds like you were too busy spotting exotica to notice a PH'er eating a pasty on Falmouth seafront - OK I was in the other half's skoda at the time.

Did you have that plate on a Wrangler/CJ type Jeep before? If so I think we met a long time ago when you looked at a Vitara we were selling when I lived at Boslowick.

Nice white Noble M12 at Four Pillars Hotel in South Cerney. Kudos for using the spoiler as a picnic table for your coffee. I would have been over like a shot if not out for a romantic walk with the new girlfriend!

Yellow 355 Spider coming out of Yeovil at 4 ish today. Wibble.
Could only have been bettered by having been a Berlinetta in Blue.

V8 rover 75 in yeovil. Rare i believe.

[LordGrover]

MG ZT?

[VerySideways]

Whilst they made lots of MG ZTs, they only made 166 Rover 75 V8s. I'd say that's pretty rare...

[Benbay001]

Yeh, it was definitely a Rover 75.

Aren't they broadly the same thing? or are you just splitting hairs?

Surely the MG ZT is just a re-badged Rover 75 anyway

[VerySideways]

I was just confirming what Benbay001 said about the 75 V8 being rare.

Rover made around 900 of those V8 engined vehicles, but only 166 of them were Rover 75's rather than the 750 odd MG ZT's. Allegedly

The MG ZT was manual only, the Rover 75 was auto only. Clearly different target markets.

Hi Neil - I see your car pretty much every time I visit my girlfriend. She lives just round the corner from you.

Lovely white R8 on Park St this evening- R6 OMH or similar. Looked familiar. Sadly the driver didn't appear to appreciate me appreciating his car and returned my smile with a scowl!

Stuning Red Ferrari FF centre of Bath lunchtime. Sounded alright aswell.

[ryanjohnstott]

Same red Ferrari FF between Norton St Philip and Faulkland at 11.30am this morning. Probably a brilliant car but it just didn't look like a Ferrari should to me!

Spotted a few hooners around Cheddar today. Flipping Slippy too!

Waved at a blue Caterham twice and an e46 m3 and an Aston. No waves back
