That's epic

Can we have some more pics please?

Here you go!

Yep, I'm lovin' that!

And another here

Fantastic to see that people will still take rare, expensive, unusual and epic cars like this out for a drive, for no other reason than they want to
I bet its a bugger on a hot humid day though, but i would.


Just clocked the plate, cracking. I remember going to Witney for a job interview driving 1 of his trucks mid-late 90's but didn't get it due to me being a new driver and lack of experience at the time.

F1 is still 1 of those things i'd like to have had a go at work wise.

Thanks for the comments guys...just remembered I made a short vid of driving it up the A21 if you are interested.

I may be taking it (as a spectator) to the Blancpain race at Brands on Sunday 8 May. Will let you know...

That's a very special car

[Roo]

Looks like a great car to take out on a sunny day like that.

Just followed an A-reg black Sierra XR4i in Leigh-on-Sea being driven by a gentleman of advancing years - looked very clean and couldn't see any rust on it as I went past when he pulled over.

Don't see many of those around these days.

Love the XJR-15 stuff, spectacular car!


In Maidstone town centre yesterday afternoon I saw a white Porsche 997 GT3RS, and a few minutes later a white 997 Turbo Cabrio.

[TCEvo]

Couple this morning. Silver 'Vette 'Pace Car' filling up at Sainsbury's PFS in Chelmsford and a red XJR-S a little later on on Broomfield Rd.

[Hol]

Bright Red 1970's Datsun 240 or 260z on North Dane way in Chatham yesterday.

Also a black JDM SF5 Forester in the same area.

[Tubbytommy]

Black Aston Martin Vantage in bicknacre this morning. Parked in a drive can't remember the road but last 3 of the plate was AMV. Won't give the full reg. Looked lovely

[TCEvo]

Daimler MkII & a Mini 1275GT later in the day, both on Parkway in Chelmsford.

[Martin350]

I saw a few nice cars out yesterday;

On the A249 near Detling a red Mk1 Escort with bubble arches and a dark coloured Jaguar D-Type - replica or real, I'm not sure, but it looked fantastic!

Then I followed a left hand drive Jaguar Mk2 on foreign plates through Maidstone town centre.

And an Austin 7 going up Loose Road out of Maidstone.

[TCEvo]

Another Daimler MkII today & a Messerschmit (sp?) / type bubble car - both on & near the Army & Navy rounadbout in Chelmsford, late pm today.

[Tubbytommy]

Just spotted a de lorean in tesco Chelmsford petrol station 1 XD. Don't know if it's anyone on here

Bright green Mclaren of some kind in Chalkwell Avenue, heading towards the seafront at lunchtime today..

Thought the plate was GJ16 MCL but that doesn't seem to show up on askmid.

Does show up - http://www.ukvehicle.com/GJ16MCL/
Its a 675LT owned by GJ, dunno who it is but business partner of Keith Speller. GJ has a 918, that 675, and a 488 GTB. Keith has an Aventador, P1 and RRS SVR.

[pincher]

Don't know anything about either of them but the McLaren was very nice

[rossi1]

Had a great little hoon today along the A21 from Hewits farm towards the Hastings with what looked to be a caterham but had GSX written down the side of it.
Gave a toot and a respectful wave, nice little machine

[kiethton]

Brand new merc AMG GT thing (SLS replacement) in Tweedy Road, Bromley this afternoon

Black Vauxhall VXR8 near the Petts wood harvester just after midday too

Both sounded pretty good!

[Hol]

Obviously uprated Black Monaro or similar on M2 this morning heading for London.

Possibly the same one noted above??

[zeDuffMan]

I saw a Ford GT in black with silver stripes on the road out of Staplehurst yesterday. Don't think I've seen one on the road before. I know they're pretty rare here.
