The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[TCEvo]

Finally saw my first (current / FL5) Honda Civic Type R this morning. White one in traffic on New London Road in Chelmsford - looked cool.

Also this 1978 Range Rover on a drive in Sheering:

Ghastly, aren't they. I've seen a couple of the new i7 things with that enormous illuminated basking shark-like grill and fancy headlights and can't imagine the type of person happy to spend £100k+ plus on that.

Although, the same was said about the E60 5-series when they first came out, and look how that sold and how the design was diluted into other new models.

I've seen two i7's on the road so far - one here in Chelmsford and the other in Berlin (didn't see any XM's there). Odd looking things.

Re. XM's via How Many Left there appears to be less than 100 registered in the UK, so suspect that they will remain a rarity.

Black Ferrari Roma in Chelmsford city centre, late am today.

Saw my first Lotus Eletre in Hockley today.

Sadly, I thought it was a MG at first and only the badge gave it away... It's styled very China de jour IMHO.

saw a lovely blue facelift C4 Corvette in Rayleigh today

was that in dark grey about mid-afternoon - because one went down the A129 like a scalded rat about then

[theplayingmantis]

probably, timing fits, colour wise they only seem to come on those dark colours and are nondescript so i couldnt reliably say. And there always drivien as if a point to prove, so was surprised when the blues came on.

A blue S1 Elise coming off of the A127 at the B186 yesterday. Looked positively dinky.

Imagine the cost of fueling that US truck

Love the colour of that Integrale - where was it (think it's been on here before)?
