Damn, was only drooling over this a few days ago at Lancaster...

[Scousefella]

This was the car that my nephew was in on a recent showroom visit.

Does this count?, I past this brand new 14 plate Ferrari 458 at Dedham this morning on the A12, It had just been raining and it looks as if it was on a test drive, luckily no one was hurt, other than the drivers pride.

Not sure if you'll be atall concerned by it, but your pics appear to have been used in some articles about the incident: http://thesupercarkids.com/ferrari-458-speciale-cr...

Just felt the need to let you know - as a photographer, nothing is more annoying than images being used without being asked!

...or at least being acknowledged as the photographer.

I've noticed them crop up in a few places now, as you say it would have been at nice of them to at least credit me, especially as I'm the one being quoted as the passer by!

Spotted a stunning Blue Escort RS Cosworth this afternoon.

Was on the road between St Lawrence and Steeple at about 2.30 heading Steeple bound - plate was quite small so missed the reg.

Looked fantastic in the sunlight, great to see one being enjoyed.

I slipped them into the supercar spotted thread (taking no credit) so let me know if that is a problem, didn't think so as it was still on PH.

I saw a light metallic blue Aston Martin V8 Zagato convertible near Wormingford in Colchester this morning.

[Allaloneatron]

A blue Panda 100hp with a PH sticker on Smithers Lane in East Peckham. Parked close to my grey Panda 100hp with a PH sticker.

Somebody else noticed this and said to me that we must both have the same ironic sense of humour.

I'm test driving a Panda 100hp on Saturday - if I like it I'll be putting a whopping great big smiley on straight away

Red L reg MR2 with a smilie on thd back bumper and later a green Focus RS with a private plate, both on the A13 near Beckyon this evening

[DJFish]

Silver M5 in colchester.
I think I made his morning by vacating a parking space right by the station entrance the other day after my last night shift.
Made a change from the usual miserable commuters at that time of the morning & driving a nice car as well!

Did the Daily Mail ask permission to use your photos either?

[dockertrigger]

To give them their due they did ask first before they used them, unlike the other websites.

[Dalto123]

I'm impressed!

The chap who wrote that article previously linked is a PH'er too. I may send him a message to wind him up

If anybody spots a white 1 series on a 14 plate with a scraped side let me know the reg, GF was hit and run at 10:45 on the A20 last night between Mottingham and the roundabout.

Get a crime number (for insurance purposes/just in case you find the guy) and NEXT WEEKEND start contacting bodyshops within a 10 mile radius.

No local businesses with cameras in that road?

done and dropped the forms off this evening, I'm going to bodge it back together and get it sold (was going to be listed this weekend!), she didn't get the full reg either - her doing the 40 limit in NS lane, car doing the same ahead in the OS lane with maybe a car length or so between them, wker comes up at an estimated 80+ goes for the gap to undertake and takes out the OSF snapping the bumper - I can hopefully polish out the worst of the wing - sports bumpers are a nightmare to find! - especially in black!

There is CCTV at the preceding junction (proper CCTV monitored) but its unlikely the police will bother looking tbh

All this tax money on CCTV and we can't use it.

I would deffo contact the local Bodyshops
