Today:

Monaro VXR 1 BFS in Gainsborough, presumably the same owner as the Cerbera with a similar registration.

Lotus Elan M100 in red near Wheatley.

Recently:

W44SPY in Marshall's Yard, Gainsborough, a nice LHD 964 3.3 Turbo around Retford numerous times, 'A911J**', and what I think was a white Jimp van at Woodhall Spa..

Speed yellow Cayman GT4, looked and sounded spectacularclap Only about 100 in the whole UK aren't there ?

I won't specify where exactly as it was pulling into a driveway and I was on foot, but a village within 5 miles of Barnt Green.

W44SPY is a Yellow Elise that lives near me, was brilliant when I followed her sometimes on the way home.

Yes I'm aware it's a 'known' car around here, hence me not mentioning the car as such. I've seen it various times, albeit usually in Gainsborough and never followed..

I never followed it on purpose, our journeys usually intertwined. I know her anyway, went to school with her daughter.

Sat behind a dark blue Ferrari 456 on the A49 between Hereford and Ross on Sunday early afternoon - nice to hear a petrol V12 on the few overtakes we conducted smile

On a very long and boring coach journey to the Lakes today. Made a bit better by a few nice cars.

Blue 997 GT3 RS on the M6 at Birmingham and a black Ferrari 612 soon after.
Gorgeous black Aston V12 Vantage on the A45 in Solihull.
A car park of Jaguar F-Paces at Birmingham Airport, hundreds of them!

Yesterday on the A46 around Widmerpool I saw a red Subaru SVX, with the reg C13SVX. I've not seen one for a long while so was good to see. Looking at it's history it was off the road for a good few years, probably the gearbox issue, but is now on 150k+ miles.

A couple of weeks back in Lincoln I saw my first AMG GT, along with a late 80s Saab 900.

Gray LeFerrari in Derby by the jury inn. This is the second time i have seen it in the city centre.
That could belong to the owner of Derby County football club - Mel Morris. Owner of the 'holy trinity' (LaF, P1, 918) and the man who made millions from the game Candy Crush.
