White Evora S, R5***, on the A1 Southbound today, somewhere around Grantham.

Great looking car, one of my favourites from the last 10 years for sure.

and now I've just seen a frickin 250GTE eek
Also an (new) Abarth 500 (595 corsatizione or something..) all stickered up with a big splitter, teensy wing mirrors and yellow lights, maybe not that "exciting" but adorable.

An ex-colleague has posted a picture on Facebook of a BMW i8 in the car park. It looks great in the photo but I want to see it in the flesh. So close, yet so far away. frown

It defiantly stands out in the car park, which is an impressive feat considering there is also a Bentley Continental GT V8 (MY11) and Ferrari 458 Italia in there.

Yesterday:

A Sunset(?) Orange C6 Corvette in Blyton village (near Gainsborough).

A red E30 M3 between Wheatley and Gainsborough.

A dark coloured (possibly black) Ferrari California in Clarborough.

..Also various nicely turned out cars at the Blyton track day. The Mk2 Escort probably being my favourite..

Ariel Atom Supercharged parked up at Merry Hill last night, and then seen in and around the area later on. Looked very smart - black on white. It was accompanied by a 3 wheeler bike (T-Rex?) which, whilst not to my taste - it looked like something off the set of Tron - certainly stood out.

I saw something that looked pretty special this morning. It was going the other way so I only got a very brief look at it. The car was black and looked like the bat mobile! Having checked google images it certainly looked a lot like a McLaren P1... but surely it can't have been?!

Anyway this was in Wirksworth (near Matlock) at about 9am this morning. Anybody else see it???

I saw a red Lamborghini which I have seen before and if I recall, is part of a rental fleet. It was at J29 where I first saw it but due to traffic and whatnot, stayed with it till J34. I didn't get one decent photo though, which was a surprise! Want to see the best photo I managed to capture?!

I also saw a white Jaguar XK-RS in Sheffield with a shortened front plate - gave it a quick blat as he excited an island, made a good noise doing so too!

A 991 GT3 registration '*3GT' in Clarborough near Retford today; the first I've seen.

On Thursday a red 458, registration 'P*LLY', in Keyham near Leicester. Looks like the registration has been on a few other nice motors recently too!
