I saw the white Monza with the plate definitely MON 2A in the Sainsbury's car park in Maidstone a few months ago and took a pic.

Yep, that's the one.
What a great looking car, I think they've aged very well.

I would guess these were going to or from headcorn aerodrome as was a vw show there this weekend
I guessed there might have been an event for them going on.
Despite them not being my cup of tea, there were some really nice looking ones.

Isn't that the name of Simon Cowell's company?
I just Googled it, and it seems his record label (or one of them) is called Syco.
Being that it was a music festival it could be something to do with him..?

Also yesterday, between Maidstone and Headcorn, I saw at least twenty VW Camper vans of various vintage and a white Opel Monza with a related number plate, possibly MON2A.

I also followed a silver Nissan 350GT Skyline.

Then in Mote Park at the Ramblin' Man Fair this McLaren;

The perfect car for someone who drops their "H's".rolleyes

Here is a rare spot for you guys but unfortunately no pic. I saw a Fiat 131 Supermirafiori in Gillingham for the 1st time in at least a decade if not longer. Always loved these cars but they have all but disappeared from the UK now.

Coming home through Fawkham tonight, came up behind a rather nice M6 in a mint/light blue-green colour, on the way past the Brands Hatch Hotel on Valley Road. Registration started M600.

Anyone on here? I was in the white GT86 desperately trying to hang onto your coat tails when you booted it out of Fawkham Green until you turned off near the village hall.

Valley Road would be a great drive, but 9 times out of 10 I get caught behind people bumbling along at 30MPH at the most and braking for every corner - nice to come up behind someone who definitely wasn't keen on hanging about biggrin

Earlier this evening I saw a very tidy looking white Porsche 944 near the fire station on Loose Road, Maidstone.
Then a little later just up the road from there a white MGA, also looking immaculate.

I mentioned it a while ago on here, but I keep seeing the red Talbot Horizon near Linton on my way home from work, which also looks in remarkable condition.

Saw a convertible orange Huracan yesterday... didn't like it frown

It's funny. I never thought much of the 918 when I saw pictures of it, but in the flesh it's gorgeous (best car I've ever seen irl for sure)

With the Huracan I always liked it, thought it was a handsome machine in the pictures, but in reality I was a little bit let down.

Properly random station car - I'd have taken a taxi rather than leave that at the peril of the general public.

I would rather have your GT3 to be honest (not as a station car lol). Lambo is too shouty and vulgar for my liking.

Me too. As awesome as the Lambo is, I'd rather have the GT3 and a lot of spare cash. But I am Porsche biased tongue out

n the A229 Loose Road heading out of Maidstone around midday today I saw an early Jaguar E-Type in grey with a black Ferrari 355 the car right behind it.

Then around 3 or 4pm ish a red hot rod type thing going in and out of Lloyds bank car park at the top of Cripple Street. Sounded to me like it had a Ford V6, but could have been something else.
I could hear it blasting down the Loose Road, sounded great!

This Yellow beast passed me and was sounding fantastic. Stopped in Tollgate Sainsbury and it was parked in the store car park.

Is that a Supersport, as it looks to have the wider rear turbo arches?
