Managed a picture this time.....one of the nicest cars I've ever seen. Brave choice of colour combo but really classy in the flesh.



Not a bad noise at 2mph either!

Very similar colours to Rowan Atkinsons F1. I wonder if this was his LT as he's sold his F1?

Thought he drives around in a Skoda Octavia nowadays

Totally agree the colour looks so much better on this LT than a 12C which suddenly looks rather plain.

Not Rowan's. Didn't recognise the driver. And don't think Rowan plays much tennis.

Some things I've seen lately in London.

Ferrari 250 Lusso, one of the best-looking of the 250s in my opinion


Some interesting Veyrons




Beautiful 300SL Gullwing

The 250 and the Mercedes are as completely gorgeous as the Veyron's are completely ugly (however much an engineering achievement the Veyron is, it leaves me so cold)

The interior of the Veryron is pretty special but I agree on the exterior looks, but the exterior of the 110 didn't appeal to me either. Im glad I'm in the minority because I really enjoy the engineering.

When the Veyron first came out I found it quite nice to look at but the current crop of super/hyper cars really put it to shame

The gullwing is stunning

As much as I like the Macca, I really don't like those wheels..

I'm sure they're lightweight forged jobbies but they resemble something from Halfords..

In the twilight of my autumn I have become a Trade Plate driver. One of the lads who works for the same company as me delivered a P1 earlier this month.

Where was I that day? Taking a skanky trade-in to the auction probably.

Hi there,

I did this for a few months a couple of years ago and never got to drive anything nice. There used to be stories of lads getting to drive Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghini's but mine were always ex Enterprise Astras and Corsas. Nicest thing I ever got was a Merc CLS but only for a couple of hours.

Regards

Tim

The company I'm with have a contract with Mercedes and I've delivered a few nice Merc but on one occasion I went with just a registration number to find a brand new SLS...




...between me and the van I had to collect.

[DickyC]

A couple of weeks ago I spoke to a guy who went to Aston Martin to collect a Rapide for a chap in Scotland who had bought it as his retirement car. When I asked if he'd enjoyed the experience he said no, he'd been petrified of bending it. He asked the owner why he'd entrusted his beautiful new car to a hairy arsed trade plate driver he said he hadn't considered it but he was quite happy and gave a ten on feedback.

Great choice of track, Guetta before he went pop!

Despite deciding recently that the 675 LT is about the coolest car I've seen this year, that orange one does almost nothing for me.
Agree it must be those hideous wheels, but clearly they can be specced differently. The burgundy one I posted this week had a roof intake, carbon roof, vents on the front arches and I think those details combined with the better wheels (and better colour) made it look almost a different machine to that orange one.

Nice car, but he's specced it badly.

[smithyithy]

Agreed. I really like multi-spokes that can be selected, I think they look a lot more 'motorsport'
