Yesterday morning (Monday) loads of vintage cars heading Northbound M6 between Blackpool and Lancaster junction.

One pair took a wrong turn and were heading for Blackpool, they had to come off and back on again.

Was a really treat to see them. I'm sure the first one was a Bently of some description...huge thing with a Union Jack on the side.

Anyone know what it was about?

I think you're right. Now you've mentioned it, I remember that race title on a badge on the side of one the cars.

Yes, it’s the only Turbo S I’ve ever seen in the flesh so I was pleased with that one.



I had a bit of an interesting day, first thing this morning I finally managed to get a pic of the Integrale I see around all the time, on the school run I think it was! Westbrook, Warrington.



Then went on to Media City and saw all the cars posted above...P1, F40, F50 and the rest. The 9ff was another good one...

It was an interesting line up yesterday. I loved the fact that most people ignored the 9ff, made it very easy to get clear photo's. I suppose most of them just dismissed it as "just a Porsche"
I have to admit to being a bit underwhelmed by the P1, I much prefer the MP4.

Yes, Elliott is my brother. Yes, I have said I would eventually consider a Ferrari but only once we move house and to a more remote/rural part of Manchester. Having the Snake Pass on my doorstep is the plan.

Anyway, how do you know Ell?
I used to live on Kershaw Lane so used to see him quite often when growing up. This was about 13 years ago though. My dad and a few friends still live there which is when I've seen your Porsche, like a turd though I didn't connect the number plate and your username until now.

It is indeed Danny. What a disturbing individual I look!
I apologise if your pictures suffered glare from my head.
Out of interest, what were your thoughts on the P1?

A few spots in Southport today:

Green Morgan 4 seater spotted crusing down the Promenade (opposite Silcocks fairground)around 1.50pm; noticed it had Union Jack-type badges all over the side.

A nice surprise to see this beautiful Austin Healey 3000 parked up across from the Clifton Hotel around 2pm; was stationary for a good 20 mins then saw it head off down the prom: Stood out like a sore thumb among all of the modern square box rubbish.



Also spotted a large vintage beast of some description, possibly a Bentley from the 1920s heading along Lord St around 4.30-ish. Then spotted an Aston Martin convertible (no idea what make, possibly Vantage).
