I saw a "Pheonix Yellow" BMW M4 this afternoon on a '64' plate. I wasn't a fan of that colour when it was on the E46 but it looks even worse on the M4, in my opinion.

Spotted heading towards Newbold, Chesterfield.

It's actually a different colour which is new for the M4, Austin Yellow

yes it was silver
you sure the cams not on on both sides of that stretch?

Very sure, I live there(here!) :-)
Not sure about the others cameras, I slow down for them if they are actually pointing the right direction.

All fixed position speed camera's are switched off in Solihull and have been for a number of years. There has been recent discussions about the police raising the funds to convert them all over to digital cameras and switch them back on, this however is on-going and is likely to take some time. Quite often stories and updates in the Solihull Observer etc.

I saw a silver Toyota Celica this afternoon in Wingerworth, Chesterfield - it sported a subtle red PH sticker on the rear bumper.

If your on here and read this sub-forum.

TVR S in a burgundy colour, passing the Charnwood Hotel near Blyth, Nottinghamshire.

I'm amazed at what I saw on the A617, Chesterfield today, around 5:20pm. It was an orange Ford GT which looked very similar to the Mirage 720 that frequents the VMAX events. Am I right in thinking the owner is part of SCD - hoping someone can clarify?!

If the owner is reading this, it made my day! Thank you!

Red 64 plate Alfa 4C on the Bromsgrove by-pass about 2pm today. Damn good looking and lower than a gnats knackers.

Didn't realise they'd gone on sale. Wouldn't have seen it but for the M5 being shafted as usual so came off at Worcester South and thru Droitwich,Bromsgrove,Lickey.

Saw one of those Alfa 4Cs at the PH Sunday Service at Silverstone last Sunday. Looked and sounded awesome

Welcome - you mean the Merc, or the C type/ D type Jag to the right of it.?

The merc, the d-type is a replica, unlike the 500k+ 300 sl.

Over the border but nearer to the Midlands that South Wales a gorgeous black 4C has been a regular spot in east radnorshire (in or near Knighton) this month.
Looks phenomenal and sounds equally phenomenal.
The Jag XK, 911 and 430(runnin together) seemingly paled into insignificance when i saw the 4C later on the same day two weeks ago.
The Atom was pretty much on a par when spotted by the Hundred House, Bleddfa (Knighton)

Mortified that I didn't get a photo of this today.

I was concentrating on negotiating a junction on my bicycle and was aware of a red classic car in my peripheral. Hop off the bike at my destination to see it had turned around and was heading my way - a Ferrari 250 GTO! No time to get my phone out, which was in my bag.

It definitely looked like a 250 GTO, but is there another Ferrari that closely resembles it that I might haven mistaken it for?

275GTB looks somewhat like a GTO

Depends if you saw it from the front or back though.

Where did you spot it?

That could have been it too actually. But that's still worth many millions! I spotted it in Leamington Spa right outside the Ford dealership to the south of the town.
