Looked like a serious bit of kit. Loved to of heard and see it shift.

I was about to say it was hackers. I don't know him personally but been to a few events with many of his mates who drift over the past few years.

It was at Japfest but he did not have the wheels so it was on stands there.

Very smart VW Golf GTD, with a white PH sticker under the VW badge. Spotted in the outside lane of the M4 between Chippenham and Swindon. Just before half eight this morning, as I was crawling along on the near side as everyone was stop'n starting due to the accident. From what I saw, the accident didn't look too severe, so I hope the driver was not badly injured

Any BMW i8 owners in the Gloucester region here? Keep seeing them about and exchanged a couple of friendly words with one of them late in the evening recently. Nice machines!

Seen two around Cheltenham, one all-black and one white/black/blue.

[FuryCossieSteve]

Saw one today in Yate! On Station road around 1.40pm outside the Indesit factory.

[ST150HB]

Have seen a few i8s in Plymouth, love the look of them.

[FuryCossieSteve]

There was one at the Avenue Drivers Club Sunday morning meeting a few months back and I have to say they are stunning to look at. Clarkson rated it too when he drove one on Top Gear. I have a pic somewhere I'll see if I can dig it out and post it, brb.......

The pics don't really do it justice either!!

[LordGrover]

Rather OTT for me but I can see the appeal.
Would make a good car to rent for a weekend though, so long as I get to hand the keys back on Monday morning.

[FuryCossieSteve]

Well it's all a personal thing isn't it? That's the great thing about cars and vehicles in general. 90% of the cars mentioned on this SW Spotted thread I wouldn't look twice at, horses for courses.

Clarkson certainly rated it very highly, I think he was comparing the trip in this and an M3 or something and he preferred the i8. The interior is great too.

[tickious]

Rode.

Lovely black NSX spotted in Wroughton about half five, as I was heading out to the M4.

[garycab]
