I think it's safe to say thats all just sticky back plastic so easily enough returned back to the 'probably' metalic silver underneath. wink

No photo as I was driving but a stunning Bentley heading west on the M54 near Telford this afternoon.

Wonderful motor car.

I think it was a 1929 4 1/2 litre model.

I saw a myriad of supercars coming from Calver, heading towards Baslow this morning. I would imagine that it was a SCD drive so I look forward to a video. wink

I will probably miss some but I saw three standard 458's, one Speciale (looked amazing in black with gold stripes), TVR, yellow Porsche 911 and a Ferrari 360 Spyder concluding the convoy. All going the opposite direction to me so couldn't ogle for too long and probably missed some. I was giving a thumbs up to them all and I think the yellow 911 spotted me - I was in an orange Skoda Fabia.

I saw a gorgeous red F355 Spider and what looked like a Ford GT (but may not have been, very similar rear end though) on the road between Montford Bridge and Shrewsbury today, heading towards Shrewsbury.

Parked in (almost) the same space as the F430 I spotted earlier this week.
And owned by the same person smile

He was out in the Audi a few days ago (burbling past my local pub).

I spotted a brown 15-plate Maserati Ghibli driving around Chesterfield Town Centre, towards Sheffield Rd this afternoon.

I also spotted the BMW i8 which I often see around Chesterfield on the commute home. They look good (and the owner has spec'd it in the best colour combo) but I see this example on a nigh on daily basis, I no longer give it a second look.

About 10:30 this morning, on the M1 just before j21, a McLaren P1 went past.
Gobsmacked doesn't even start to describe my feelings

An AC Cobra (probably DAX replica) and a black Ferrari F430 Spyder heading out of Chesterfield, past Holymoorside at around 4:00pm.

I wondered whether you knew the owner of the AC Cobra and were in convoy but if it were a coincidence, that is great! thumbup

Telford services today:





There was also an Alfa Romeo race / track car on a trailer but I couldn't grab a shot in time, looked awesome, I think it was a Guilia?

Had the pleasure of seeing an immaculate Mercedes C36 AMG saloon on my commute this morning. Not a hint of rot anywhere and clearly cherished.

I am not sure whether this is 'exciting' but an unusual sight on Shropshire roads (Ford Crown Victoria)?

Regularly see what looks like a 993 GT2 (silver) popping and snarling through Duffield, Derbys. Beautiful biggrin
