[gmw9666]

Classic car meet last night at The Griffin Inn - Shustoke (3rd Tuesday of the month)

Nice Lambo to name just few great motors

Was indeed a good turnout at Shustoke last night.
Great mix of cars and no idiots.
Good to talk to you last night & lovin' your new wedge - it sounded awesome as you pulled off.

Glad you liked the Lambo

Saw a stunning silver Jaguar XK150 FHC at Monsal Head near Bakewell this afternoon.

I saw a black pre-facelift Porsche Panemera Turbo this morning in Walton, Chesterfield - driving towards Morrisons and Chatsworth Road.

...then I saw another Porsche Panemera in Matlock, just up the road from the Imperial Rooms/County Hall. It was still a pre-facelift but was in White and base spec (from the outside).

Had the company of a current shape Jaguar XJR on the A46 this morning. Enormous presence but maintains its subtlety.

Red Alfa 4c yesterday afternoon on the way home between the M69 and Sapcote.

Sounded lovely for such a small engine.

I was driving and it was going to quick for me to get a picture.

And when I did the google search and went to the image section it looks like they are all left hand drive where this appears to be RHD. Even more of a rarity?

I saw a Vauxhall Adam this morning on the A617 in Chesterfield (around 7:15am) which was sporting LM24 stickers. It was a red example with black wheels and a black grille, instead of the gaudy chrome one. Subtle changes, but it looked smart.

The only other car I noticed was an Aston Martin DB7 GT going through Clay Cross, Chesterfield around 8:00am. It looked smart but the owner thought smoked tail lights completed the look. It didn't.

If anyone local is interested, Sytner Nottingham have an M3, M4 and Alpina B4 in the showroom on display at the moment. Flanked by an M5, D5 and Frank Sytner's old E30 Touring car.

Quite by chance, I met another PHer there aswell. Good to meet you, you know who you are

[TorqueR]

This BMW was spotted in Bakewell yesterday afternoon. The splitter held on by cable ties....

[v15ben]

Saw loads of interesting stuff on the M1 in the Midlands on Friday afternoon:
Chrysler New Yorker Taxi Limo
Yellow Aventador or Murcielago (only caught a glimpse!)
Blue TVR Tuscan
Loads of MG race cars of various shapes and sizes
Various 40s/50s era Americana
