R8 GT on Hadfield Road this afternoon, followed by a red 4C traveling into Cardiff on Manor Way.

There was a Silver R8 in the bay yesterday afternoon, same one?

No, this was a GT in Suzuka Grey (I think). 1 of 33 in UK if my memory serves me correct - carbon ceramics, fixed wing, smothered in carbon, more aero/canards etc.

Alfa 4C on the M4 at Port Talbot at about 2.30 this afternoon.

Looks like Grant Evans has managed to bag himself a 911 R, it's sitting in the old showroom behind Porsche Centre Cardiff. Considering only 30 odd are coming to the UK, pretty rare sight :-)

I think 918 customers got first dibs on them so no surprise there.

BMW 8 Series on the M4 somewhere between Cardiff and Newport.

Beautiful grey Maserati GranTurismo on Bridgend Industrial Estate this afternoon.

Red Diablo being trailered on the M4 at j37 yesterday morning. Surprised to see it had been driven on the trailer, rather than reversed on, must have been intersting weight distribution. Primrose yellow DB5 on foreign plates westbound at J48 on Thursday afternoon.

TCW car I'm guessing. I did manage to look inside his little garage the other day, spotted a red Diablo plus two Countach's, one white and one black.

The only two other things I could make out were a red 996 GT3 (seen that outside a few weeks ago anyway) and some kind of classic Vauxhall (I think), looked like some kind of beefed up Chevette?

A quick google would suggest its probably a HSR:-

Looks like Tom Hartley has bought TCW's 66 plate 675LT Spider.

Yup, saw that on his instagram last night.

The red diablo was also at B&B Audio Concepts on Monday. Not sure what it was having done but it was not trailered.

A chap was also there with an 03 Mercielago... looked amazing to see a 'mk1' Mercielago, can't believe how old the early ones are now as they still look and sound incredible.

He is building a new house. Tom Hartley has already sold the 675LT

I've seen a Bristol Brigand a couple of times in and around Llantwit Major, looks very well used and incredibly cool.

The red Diablo has been at TCW for a while, I would be surprised if the one I saw on the trailer was the same one. He would use someone who knows how to load a car on a trailer for a start.

The black Countach is amazing.

Would he care if its been sold though? I seen a photo of his blue Aventador going up the motorway after it was sold and that looked like it had been loaded by a chimpanzee

I find Countach's have looks only a mother could love, I'm guessing its an age thing though as I was only 4 when production ceased

Dark blue new shape Mustang and a white Jaguar F-PACE R-Sport in Bridgend this afternoon. Also saw a white Jaguar F-TYPE Convertible yesterday.

i saw the mustang too. i was in Bridgend Mercedes and heard it pull off the roundabout... rather loud!

Saw an i8 on a small car transporter today, west bound on M4 at Cardiff. Nothing too special.

But there was a hovercraft on there aswell!

Min 50k premium on LT's at the moment... Wont last but he's clearly on-it!

Unless it was him at TCW or mr TCW has one himself aswell , there was one outside there today in the the boss man's parking space.
