I may have seen that red Lotus on the A46 on Monday evening, or at least one very much like it!
Same car past me this week on the M69 toward M1.

Gave the couple driving it a wave as it bellowed past.

Saw a stunning dark blue Mustang Fastback in Glossop today. Was a 60s model and still had New York licence plates. Sounded nice too!

Was shocked to see V15 BEN on a BMW 4 Series on the M1 near Leicester today - my old plate, which I sold last year!
Also a white California on the M1 a bit further south today and a black E30 M3 on the M1 in the Midlands, Saturday lunchtime.
Nice one!

A few from this weekend. All these spotted Friday night on M1 south while I was travelling north so not the best descriptions. 2 red Ferraris, not sure on model but 80's era, some kind of Ginetta with wrapped bodywork, black Huracan Spyder.

Today, yellowy green Aventador Sv passing Casa Hotel in Chesterfield and then a yellow Mk1 Escort RS2000 in Chesterfield Morrisons.

There is nothing too interesting with regards to car events/meets but we are close to places such as Chatsworth & Hardwick Hall which often have car club meets and such like. I am happy to be proven wrong but I believe that supercardriver (SCD) is based in/around Chesterfield. Hope that helps and I will keep an eye out for your car at the weekend.

Cheers. I'll most likely be in a black 306 Rallye. Currently shopping for a Caterham as well so may be up in that at some point once I've bought one.
I'd like to say that I have a rare or exciting car but my pride and joy, my daily and my weekend car is a Mk2 Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia.

It does have a PH sticker on the back window though! thumbup
What colour is your Focus? I moved to Chesterfield this weekend so I'll keep an eye out for you.

Whilst leaving the multi story car park - they'd managed to get a space where other cars couldn't park next to it too.

Saw a green Huracan on the M1 near Rugby along with a camo wrapped California T.
Also had a red Merc SLS follow me out of Donington Services - sounded beastly!
Might possibly be the same car I've seen a few times around Dunchurch, just outside Rugby, which has very easy access to the M1. If it is the same one I think it's the same chap who also owns a yellow Gallardo Spyder and (I think) a red F355, which was parked up at our local MOT station when I went to pick up my Mk2 Cooper S last week.

He's my hairdresser barber. Not sure about the 355 - I'll ask next time I give him my nine quid.

Ah yes, was chatting to him as he got out of the Gallardo last week in Dunchurch.
