Be fair. All Aston Martin's models do look exactly the same.

Anyone hear or see something doing a burnout in Wilmslow today, sounded excotic/impressive and could be heard on and off for a while, someone was risking getting nicked it sounded like !

I'm going to take a guess that it was a black Gallardo. There's a chap that regularly drives like a twit in Wilmslow (redline from stone cold twice a day when he moves from one free parking spot to another). Having said that, I've not seen (heard) it around for a little while now. If you're on here mate, nice car but you are going to fk the engine in short order.

They don't look the same if they don't exist.

Overtook a Ferrari 488 Spider which was doing about 50 down the M53 earlier. Tidy car!

Would a Gallardo do a burnout though, they are 4wd arent they ?

Do hear a lot of fancy sounding stuff getting wound out down the A34 bypass and round town though, never really used to.

Most are, but they did do a rear wheel drive version called the Balboni if memory serves.

i like to think people who do that sort of thing don't really come on here. I always do want it to break expensively, preferably with a number of amused onlookers.

A Silver Hurracan Spyder driving through Deansgate this morning, I don't think I have ever seen a silver Lamborghini at all, the alloys where Black but with some Silver finishing, that colour really isn't for that car, just didn't look right.

Maybe he did and that's why he's been absent for a while.

You can do a burnout in anything with enough power , I see your point though. There is all kinds of exotica around here these day and I've rung out a few of my friends silly cars along the bypass myself I must admit (not through the town centre though, that's just ttish). It's easy to get blasé about supercars when you spend time here and you start thinking that it's the norm when it very much is not.

No idea what it is, but it was different and I like different.
Ashton Old Road today.

Jukebag, you seem to be spotting stuff around the Wirral, if it's this Aston you've seen floating around then it's my Dad's.

If that's not based on a Morris Minor with a roof chop, it's certainly trying to look like it is. Line along the top of the bulge in the door is a bit weird though, I've never noticed them looking quite that straight.

Not HD but this Alderley Edge vid is worth a watch CLICK (6.04 ceebmoj? ), "Addicted to cars" on Youtube, has some other good spotting vids as well as this one, they all keep appearing on my "recommended for you" on Youtube.

That 512 bb (at the start) is unreal.

I once spotted it at night on wilmslow bypass, it was spitting flames and sounded like a spitfire. Dream car.

Can't actually remember where I was (was a couple of weeks ago) but think it was Wilmslow.

ETA: was Altrincham
