I was quite surprised to see the "new" Porsche Panemera going down Newbold Rd in Chesterfield, at 5.00pm.

Heard, then saw a lovely red 70's style 911 turning off Kenilworth Road onto Beechwood Avenue in Coventry yesterday afternoon.

Correction - it was a 912. I saw it again this morning, had a roundel with "9" on it.

Range Rover Evoque cabriolet, I thought this was an April fools joke or something, but then I saw a red one a couple of weeks ago in Gotham and then a black one drove past my house today, neither had the roof down though...

Another lovely red aircooled 911! This time a different one, an SC on an A plate at the Ricoh arena this morning.

Dark blue swb defender moving quickly (but sensibly) and sounding heavenly, spotted yesterday around 10am, joining the M6 at J2.
If it was anyone on here, what is that thing? JE?

Has anyone seen a Polaris Slingshot?

I believe I was following one today. Yes in the cold weather this HERO was commuting in an open top 3 wheeler.

I'm guessing at the name. I googled ktm xbow 3 wheeler and this popped up. Looks like the thing I saw.

classic corvette coupe on a transporter heading into Leicester city centre down narborough road this morning.

Quite a strange sight to see coupled with the fact that the truck had only 2 other cars on it. Another classic roadster and an A-class merc on italian plates.

Audi RS3 around the Haunton area of Staffordshire....playing a great "tune' with the exhaust paddles & the popping on the overrun - heard it many times now & I always think "someone sounds like they're having fun"!

There's a cool 50's style American pick up truck that I see parked outside the local smoke house when I cycle past every Friday.
