Not really exciting more uncommon was the champagne coloured Renault Velsatis in Hereford yesterday early evening on A49.
One, imo, butt-ugly motor.
Now and again I also see a down-sized Hummer in Hereford.

Not just any spider - looks like a 16M to me - rare spot!

Ferrari F430 16M in black in West Bridgford this morning (I'm sure it belongs to a PHer) and a grey/red 911 GT3 RS aswell.

Spotted a couple of interesting cars today, a Triumph GT6 and a Rolls Royce Phantom. Also saw a traction engine sitting in the lay-by near my house!

Is it local to Leicester?

It was on the opposite carriageway, so I didn't get a real good look at it.

As in the pink one?

My mate had it at his wedding a few years ago.
(Amongst other cars, including a chopped top Bentley laugh )

We're not talking about an actual 6 wheel FAB 1 are we? Because the one from the remake film is at the Heritage Centre in Gaydon. Iirc it is (or was for the film) fully working and I think they can take it on the road, though not sure if they would..

Oh and that Mach1.. cloud9

I saw the new F-Type Coupe today on Chatsworth Road, Chesterfield.

It looks nice, there is no doubt about that but I feel the topless variant is still the one to go for, provided its the V8S spec'd in orange.

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

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.
