Drove from Broadway to Stow on the Wold today. On the way there I followed 2 F type coupe R's in firesand. On the way back 2 hours later, I passed another 6 in various colours all R's. They were not together as far as I could tell.

I saw more F Type Coupe R's today than any other single model of car! They are positively common.

I saw those on the stow to broadway road, I must have passed about 20 of them in various colours...what was that all about, stunning cars!

Were you in the Aston? I saw a couple of Astons too. I was in the Evora.

I csan only assume the Jags were from Gaydon or similar, press cars perhaps? The reg plates were similar letters.

One of those funny looking starship galactica BMW thingys park round the corner from my office in Leicester.

They look funny but go like stink, YouTube BMW i3 v m3 it's certainly surprising!

Also the jags could have been dealer training or press

The i3 is rapid off the line and comparable to the M3 with a lot less noise!

0-60 in 7.3 with just 57g/km CO2 is impressive.

[RossP]

Mine is zero co2...

[Balmoral]

It burns 12.9 kW per 100km according to BMW, grid power is typically 440g per kW so around 57g/km.

I stand corrected!

Saw a DeLorean popping into Morrisons in Lawley, Telford around lunch time today. Probably the rarest car I've seen this year.

Saw a DeLorean last weekend pootling round Derby. It had a 'fulx capacitor' sticker on the back.

Very cool!

Red MG SVR in Wolverhampton this afternoon

Dark grey 458 spider yesterday in notts. Came out the park and down derby road behind us. Gave him a toot at the lights in the volvo, he replied with a massive boot on the loud pedal!!!

Amazing!

Saw an immaculate looking D-reg red Porsche 924S in Shrewsbury on Saturday and Sunday being driven by a young woman - nice to see that there are women my age that choose something a little more "out there" than a Mini, Fiat 500 or Corsa!

Spotted on the A46 towards Cov, new baby Jag saloon.

Mercedes Benz SLS AMG Roadster - Spotted near Sheffield University this afternoon. Looked great in the dark red that the owner spec'd it in. Number plate; ANT 1

Aston Martin Rapide S - It was a grey example plastered in dirt and mud. It passed my house earlier today. I have seen few and this one looked, dare I say....bland.

I would actually prefer a Porsche Panemera!

Ford Seirra Cosworth - I saw this on the Chesterfield Rd just outside Mansfield - I gave the owner a quick thumbs up but he looked confused - - If you were driving it and had a guy Skoda give you a quick thumbs up, it looked nice.

Ford Escort Cosworth



I saw this around the back of JCT600 (VW) in Chesterfield. It looked scruffy around the edges but looked it counts as another Cosworth that I have seen today.

Suspect it may be this one...

It passed me on the A442 near Telford on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. 1st time I've seen one on the road!

I saw it heading towards Jiggers Bank on Wednesday afternoon.

The driver gave me the 'thumbs up' when I waved at him
