Not quite an exotic but did see for the first time on the roads a new 65 plate Honda Civic Type R in Starbucks carpark in Waterton (I think that's where I was, looked very new and had a drive through!) Looks fantastic in the flesh.. saw it at Geneva in March and liked it straight away and im not a fan of Jap cars at all.

Saw the chap from the PH run in his yellow Exige this afternoon at the Brecon roundabout.

Was passed by a new Vanquish shortly after on the way to Abergavenny, looked stunning in white with a red roof. Then saw a LHD Audi R8 coming back from Brecon a few hours later.

Making the most of the weather, was either just heading out or just heading home depending on the time.

A dark blue to black, it was early morning so difficult to tell under the lighting. Car looked used/dirty mind
Whereabouts was this, out of interest? I have a dark blue F10 which is usually caked in mud, and regularly drive Eastbound from J24 in the mornings.

Passed by a BMW M5 (V10 version) on the old bridge coming out of Chepstow. Had a plate beginning with 'M5'.
Had an aftermarket exhaust on it which sounded wonderful. Thought I would follow and listen for a while thinking he'd be going down motorway but he pulled off down a dark country lane and left me for dead. Felt rather silly then..............nerd

Was a lovely day for cars yesterday.

Honda S2000 putting his foot down to fly past me on the A470 before turning off to Radyr (I was in the black Merc Estate, but with my kids in back so couldn't play).

Scooby vs Jag F-Type R on A470 just before Gabalfa, both floored it, what a noise that Jag makes.

Aston Martin Rapide in Radyr with a number plate of a mans name.

There was a Silver E60 M5 for sale recently at Beales Garage in Coleford recently, could well have been that one...

I 991 GT3RS with a GE number plate was seen at Sarn recently so it seems he has been on a shopping spree.

He was on the 4WD rolling road with us a few weekends back at SCM remaps in Crosshands.

One of the highest power cars there and it was primarily an MLR Evo meet so the rest weren't low on power either.

There's a house in Swansea that I always wonder if the people are on here. It's on the road that runs along the east side of the river. Outside there is at the moment an NA MX-5 in blue, a championship white EK9 Civic Type R, parked down the side of the house is an S14 silvia. Sometimes there's a yellow S2000 there. They have also had a green E36 (maybe M3) out there quite often recently. I think I recall seeing a Corrado at some point too. All of them look to be modified in some way. They seem like jdm enthusiasts who dipped into the Germanic offerings.
