Just followed one of those new fangled MG6 things up the M3.

Real pity that, had the potential with a clean sheet and all that to make a nice car. Just looks like any old Malaysian/Chinese churn - I thought it was a Proton from a distance, not surprising given the owners I suppose.

I saw 2 in as many days, 61 plate one in Whiteley with a mg.co.uk decal on the rear bumper, so hopefully a dealer/promo car.
Also a 12 plate one in Hythe.

Interesting, but only as far as WTF is that..

Had a good chat with a test driver for Mclaren in midhurst last night he was driving the first road registered blue 12C prototype

I saw a stunning new Jag XK RS in Bournemouth centre lunchtime today.

Very impressive looking car, don't think I've ever seen one before!

I saw one last night at the Boxster launch at Porsche Mid Sussex. It did look fantastic in a blue not dissimilar to Porsche Riviera Blue.

No it was a dark colour.

I've been told this evening that there is a light, bright, blue one local too!

Yeah, the blue colour is a specaial order. Different but quite nice. I see a white one on the Spur Rd heading toward Ringwood most mornings around 8am.

When we picked up Claires Volvo i had a sit in an XKR-S and i was blown away by it. Looks ace in balck with all that carbon fiber, vents and spoilier.
