It was on the car park by Marks & Spencers in Telford Town Centre.

Probably the same guy with the R8 GT and F430

Could've been the same one down in Cannock, although there a few around already, saw a black one too today.

Lovely SLS in Retford last night, first one I've seen 'locally'.

1. Red SLS heading towards the M6 Toll/A460.

2. Red Ferrari 348 heading eastbound on the A5/M54.

No photos

I spotted a white RenaultSport Clio (197) driving down Newbold Rd in Chesterfield, around 11:20am this morning. It had black roof decals and a yellow PH sticker. Anybody on here?!

Maybe this one?


This was behind me near Birmingham City centre. It's a sort of chrome red and has a Russian plate.

Also saw this at the Yew Tree in Birmingham.

The one I saw had a UK personal plate.

Spotted a Vectra GSi last week on the A5. Didn't like them at all when they were out, but this one looked spotless and actually really cool in a 90's nostalgic sort of way!

Didn't get a photo but it was white / white, very much like this:



And according to Wiki:

"Only 3900 2.5 GSi models were ever produced, mostly in saloon and hatchback guise. With only 317 estate versions produced during this time, they became one of the rarest production Vauxhalls ever.

On model years 2001 and 2002, a last of the line 2.6 GSi was made also but these were limited to 500 cars. These were again mostly saloons and hatchbacks however 37 estates were made."

I don't recall the registration, but given the age and type of car, I'd imagine there aren't many left today, especially as clean as this appeared.

A few nice things in recent times but the best in a while was the blue DB5 with plate S7 in Hereford a few days ago - coming over the railway bridge toward Aylestone Hill.

Had 2 this evening, an r8 going through glapwell on way to chesterfield and a 15 plate Aston Martin parked up in plug and feathers car park in Glapwell

I spotted a grey Ferrari 599 GTB on the commute home tonight. In standard GTB guide, it looked quite subtle and understated - spotted in Chesterfield.

This week in Birmingham City centre.

Spotted a Sunbeam Lotus on the M54 heading toward Telford! Can't recall ever seeing one before (can't be many about nowadays?) - looked just like this photo but with no spot lamps:

Going back a few years...I used to lust after these guys cars:


I can't believe they still have them and were heading home though...far too many years have passed...
