[quote=OMG_TURBOZ]Spotted my first ever Aston Martin V12V S in Cardiff about half an hour ago. Here it is. [/quote

That's a V8 Vantage fitted with a Quicksilver exhaust, rather than a V12 Vantage S. It used to have a Gulf wrap.

yeh its an older V8, Believe the owner is/was from Merthyr when it had the Gulf Wrap.

ive just remembered I seen a red Jaguar E Type Series 1 on Saturday last week on the trecynon roundabout in Aberdare - anyone know whos this is? it was like an E Type Hatchback, looks no where near as beautiful as a traditional E convertible but looked amazing none the less!

lasnight after work a met an Orange Newish Corvette on the Hirwaun Roundabout, It headed off towards Neath- Was an 07 reg.. wasnt a Z06 i dont think but still looked mental amongst fiestas and transits!

spotted a pale blue Ford Escort mk2 on the roundabout by the Liberty stadium this afternoon, looked great but im sure it had odd wheels on the front to the rear!

and also caught a black Mercedes CL55 AMG turning into SA1, '28 JDE' - got a soft spot for these big bruisers.

Guy at work thought he'd heard that someone at the Uni was working on something p1 related, but I think this is a private car so could be a red herring.

Spotted about 7pm at the heads of the valley/Brecon roundabout in Merthyr, heading up the hill on the Hirwaun bypass

Porsche Cayenne/Macan with protective wrap around a large gaping front bumper & lights and all around the lower half of the car. looked very much like a test mule.

Immediately followed by a full swirly cammo wrapped 4x4. It looked large, range rover sized, but was difficult to see what it was. I only got a quick look at it, and maybe it was just down to the test mule wrapping but the front looked Rolls Royce like!

Quite probably they were heading to Walters Arena as I know the guy who runs it up there, and his books are full with Manufacturer test days. He just cant say who and what's there or when. or he risks losing the contracts.

White Lotus Elise with black wheels near the Coychurch roundabout in Bridgend today. White doesn't seem too popular for the Elise but it looked really good.

A convoy of MGFs, MGBs and Triumph Stags all heading down the lanes to Sigingstone, just past Llandow earlier.

I felt slightly out of place in an MX5!
