The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[twing]

2 RS6's, shall we say, making good ground on the M25 last night at 5ish. Blue 4 door and black estate. Awesome sound but by Christ not the time to be driving like that! Anyone else see them? Started at Bell Common tunnel heading anti--clockwise

Definitely a F1 and short plate. Not yours is it?

Nope, but I have a fair idea of who it might belong to

A few days late (it was last Thursday) but I spotted two nice Jaguars out in the wild whilst heading towards Eastbourne direction.

First was an XJR-15 in traffic, last time I saw one of these was racing at Silverstone. Never imagined I'd see one on the road, driver had ear defenders on and was waving the door open and shut for ventilation. Not even a particularly hot day

Second was a metallic blue E-type, can't say what model as it was from quite a distance away but such a distinctive shape it was unmistakeable.

Even with F1's & P1's an XJR-15 on the road is something else.

I'm pretty sure that someone on here used to have one?

[TCEvo]

There's a chap who writes in EVO who had one - assume he's also on here.

Think that there might be another bloke who had one; I think that there's a couple of people with XJ220's as well.

This morning I was a few cars behind a silver Porsche 928 S2 heading towards Marden.

If the owner sees this, you have a bit of an issue with reverse lights coming on randomly.
Beautiful car though!

Black cab with a CAB plate and PH smiley on the back just passed me along Heath Road Coxheath.

Bright red 1978 Corvette Stingray this evening on Sutton Road, Maidstone.

It was gleaming, and T-tops off enjoying the sunshine.

2010 Porsche Boxster S on writtle road parked up. Little PH smiley by exhaust

[TCEvo]

Silver C5 'Vette filling up at Sainsbury's in Chelmsford this morning, little later on an early '60's Ford Thunderbird in black on an industrial estate in Baddow - looked immense.

orange/red Porsche 911 with a big gay wing heading out of Sevenoaks last night and in towards Sevenoaks this morning. No idea what model it is, but looks all factory kit on it

Good spot! I was driving it and yes, in traffic it does get a bit steamy in there!
Wish I'd been at Silverstone to see it first time round...

That's epic

Can we have some more pics please?

[TCEvo]

+1, awesome car.

Aaaaah Yeah - That's the beasty, in that traffic jam there was a rubbish lorry that pulled alongside you on the other side of the road. The guy that jumped out the lorry nearly fell over running and looking at your car, in fact I thought he might have fallen over it at first

At Silverstone they were there as a support race for the F1. Looked and sounded great - the fact I remember them and not so much the F1 tells you something

[SimonTheSailor]

Saw one of those electric BMW cars today in Orpington, the i8 or something, first I've seen of those.

Silver Ferrari 599 this afternoon too.
