Saw a Lamborghini aventador on the M6 north bound, just by the A38. It was on Italian plates too. Very cool!

I might have claimed that spot other than the Italian plates .... Probably just going in for a service at Lambo Brum .... What colour was it ?

It was a light sky blue, very nice!

Jaguar XJ220?!
Light pastel blue, southbound on the M1 at 7.50am near the A50 junction.
Looked and sounded great.

Certainly was! All bound for the SuperCar annual season opener - quite a sight I'm sure for those plodding down the M1 this morning

Does anyone have any decent high res pics of this morning they could email me please? My car was on the front row but all I had was my camera phone which doesn't do it any justice :-(

Castle Boulevard Sainsbury's at lunch time today there was a black Lotus Esprit S3 (I think). I was surprised to see it parked in the middle of the car park rather than tucked away at one edge.

I took a trip past GreyPaul and I really like the new Maserati Ghibli.

Serious road presence in your rear view mirror and one I doubt I will ever see again. Fantastic.

Spotted again this morning on London Road.

Why, just why? I can understand the bodykit but the Ferrari badges!?

I spotted my old boss in the traffic this morning - looks like he traded his F430 in for this.



Spotted in Walton, Chesterfield.

THAT WAS ME!!!!! Not my car though.

Were you in the Fabia at the time? If so were you in the one I give it some boost for??

I was driving past, minding my own business after a trip to Sainsbury's and this Porsche caught my eye. I admit that curiosity got the better of me and I made a four mile detour in order to get back to the hotel car park.

I was debating whether it was a standard Turbo or the Turbo S, I was greeted by the latter.

[Fun Bus]

There's a 911 in that picture?

[TorqueR]

Amazingly, there is.

It started to rain as I was reversing into the parking space which makes the final picture...crap.

Yeah !!

I was headed for a bike race in the utility wagon. If I had been in the other car I would have given you some noise back

Nice !

[Digga]

Yesterday, in Rugeley, on the A51 by-pass, two Merc SLS gullwings, at separate times; one white, one a sort of metallic red. See/hear the white one fairly often.

I have just seen the YouTube clip of your first drive in the Jaguar. Looks like an amazing experience!

Just one point, I have never seen an XJ220 and from the footage, you were just outside Chesterfield. So close but yet so far away.

[Sharky86]

On the way back from work spotted an '08 Saab 93 Turbo X next to the Leicester Mercury...never saw one before or even heard of one but a quick Google search says it has 276bhp when new and came with a V6, although the wheels rang a bell...very cool sleeper car essentially
