De Tomaso Longchamp going east on the M4 between 19 and 18 this morning, about 9:50. Lovely. Pretty sure someone on here has one.

There's a new Aston Vanquish in Clifton today. Red KX12, an Aston development car. Looks stunning.

Chimaera 500 parallel parking in Bath today. Sounded awesome!

Oh, and DB9 Volante, AU55OME.

His Mrs has got a flat here, said they were around working on it. I spoke to him in tool station getting supplies. I chewed his ear off for a while. Chuffed to see it as i have a red Aston too, so agree with the colour choice on it! Beautiful looking car.

An awesome looking 1 m in orange at crewkerne today

'2 TAD' the bronze R8 GT that seems to be local was parked up in the petrol station in Nailsea.

Also saw a stunning classic Alfa Romeo (red with a big white bonnet stripe) which I think was a 1300 GT going past Tyntesfield.

Black 3 series on Portishead high street with the biggest smiley I have seen on the bonnet. Today at lunch.

Fairly sure I saw this in Solihull halfords about 6 weeks back. Huge white sticker taking up the whole bonnet? Can't be many black 3 series' with that! Stuck in my mind as the rest of the car seemed completely standard.

Mudskipper on the roundabout at J19 of the M5. You were alongside me briefly.

Yay I've not been spotted for ages have only just got around to replying as I've been sunning myself in Malta for a few days.

Aston V8 Vantage twice today, both on the A4... first time heading towards Hicks Gate/Bath just by the Brislington Park and Ride around 1900, second time on the way back towards Bristol just off of Hicks Gate by Wyevale Garden Centre at around 2045.

Thanks for booting it

Spotted you again today heading on to the Bath Road near Barclays! Yet again thank you for giving it a bit of a boot up to the lights. I would have waved as you mentioned but was too busy negotiating the corner.

Also spotted a black AMV8 about 2 minutes later coming off of Hicks Gate towards Bristol near Wyevale garden centre, couldn't catch plate but think it may have been Single Number 3 Letters (N LLL).

Yellow AMV8 Vantage 16.45 Abbots
Leigh. Wouldn't be my choice for a Aston!

You're going to give me a reputation for booting it

New exhaust system going on this weekend, so will perk it up a bit...

That's nothing to be ashamed of, use the car how it should be used

I look forward to hopefully seeing you out and about once you have the new exhaust system installed!

Spotted on Wednesday morning a silver Monaro heading through cribbs towards Henbury with a PH sticker just above the exhaust pipe

That would probably be me..! I bet I wasn't smiling, very grumpy about the traffic, and about going to work.

Spotted a smiley on a blue, carbon bonnet-ed, orange wheeled EVO6, next to my car in FCM motorsports.
Also a lovely old red Alfa Giulia Coupe of some sort on the A4.

Smiley is about to be attached to the 156 now. Look out for a blue-yellow (does not equal green) Sportwagon around Bath.

Spotted a PHer in an M3 cab this morning, roof down obviously, sunglasses on. Seems to have not yet adapted back to UK climate.
