It was still there last night, parked front and centre alongside a 458 speciale
Saw it this morning on my way to work
Absolutely stunning. Glad I finally got to see one in person, impressive in a way that the Enzo and LaFerrari will never be. Didn't hang around long as the security guard was stirring. I guess a scruffy asian bloke in a clapped out Mitsubishi is bound to ring alarm bells.

Damn it! i was going to do this today as i've got half a day off work and was planning on making the car park look rubbish in my civic.
I went in the evening as I wasn't sure how the sales staff would respond to one of the great unwashed rocking up and asking to stare at the car. Saying that I've done the same at HR Owen in London before and the sales folk were happy for me to have a walk around the showroom.RSteve said:
Damn, stunning car, wish I got a few pics when I originally spotted it last weekend, if it's still there this weekend I'll be paying it a visit.
It's quite possibly the nicest car I've ever seen. Could stand and stare at it for hours.giblet said:

I went in a few years ago (so the staff could have changed) and while it was pretty obvious I was unlikely to be buying anything (I turned up in a Supra) they were very kind to me as I stood and drooled at all the exotica. At the same time a tourist chap who didn't speak much English was in there with a video camera, minutes later the staff started up some of the cars so he could hear them, he was close to tears with joy. I remember going in when they had the Lotus dealership there too, that was better because you could pretend you were in the market for an Elise, I ruined this by having to crawl out of an Exige when I was trying it for size.
The Porsche chaps down the road are always really good too, much more so than the tossers at the VW dealership nearby who spoke to me like dirt when I went in to actually spend money on a new car.

I deal with both Porsche and Ferrari in Leeds and they're always good, Ferrari more so, but Mercedes. Holy mother of f*cking God Mercedes.

te useless down there. I go to York now.I went into Aston Martin with a model DBS I built, couldn't be more helpful. Let me take photos with the real thing and gave me a brochure for reference purposes, probably one they give out to someone with no intention of buying, but I got one all the same.
