cheeky hehe

Saw this old Saab in Cov yesterday:

Oozing rally pedigree wink

and today while cycling round by Coombe Abbey I was passed by what looked like a Lotus 11.. although by this point I was knackered so it could have been anything really (*absolves self of any embarrassment should it occur that said vehicle was some other vehicle*)

Saw what looked like a race prep Gallardo Superleggera in bright orange Saturday afternoon on the A5 near Hinckley Knight pub.

What shocked me was the waste gate noise as he changed gears!!!!!

Couldn't get my phone out quick enough though.

A45 today between Meriden and Coventry, turned off down toward Allesley, maybe wanting to go to its ancestral home at Browns Lane?

With a plate like that and the area you spotted it in I would be surprised if it's part of the heritage collection
It ended up on the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club stand at the Silverstone Classic.

Some great pictures posted by "WILL" in the events forum Silverstone classic topic.



But this is JAG 220 opposed to 220 JAG... So would this be a show plate? Same car?

Had the aural pleasure of a Rosso F430 Spider in West Bridgford this morning - it's a regular around these parts and wears the plate JUL 111A.

Soon after was a black Rolls-Royce Ghost owned by local businessman Chris Bailey. Private plate was BA11 EYC - really looked the part.

Spotted this last night on the Spotgate Inn car park near Hilderstone, Staffordshire. Anyone off here? [/quote

Nice!
That's worth more than all of the rest of the cars in the carpark combined...!

I saw a red Honda NSX driving along the A6102 heading towards Darnall, Sheffield this afternoon. It was nice to see one again, timeless shape! Anyone on here?

No. Not me. But there is a garage owner in Nottingham with one who is currently considering buying three others (job lot) as an investment and as donor cars to make a really tidy one.
