Just your average, everyday 918 Spyder....

eek

Didn't think I'd ever see one "in the wild" but there it was, casually cruising past just outside Bromley earlier today.


Edit to add - I did actually capture it on dashcam, and tried to catch up with it after the lights - but a sodding Nissan Note got in the way and spoilt my view haha

Second Edit - Looks like Dalto123 also saw it!

I forgot to add that I saw it again yesterday heading up towards Keston - roof off. Excellent looking car!
Black one - 44MK plate?
Yup, it was black. Didn't see the plate though.



And I'm also around the Beckenham area thumbup

A few around Maidstone Kent this week.

Alfa Sud Ti closely followed by possibly the loudest Audi R8 I've ever heard, in black, on Tonbridge Road.

A black and cream (I think, it was dark) Citroen 2CV.

Blue Hillman Avenger on a trailer with no glass, lights or trim, so maybe just been painted, heading into Maidstone on London Road.

Keep seeing a yellow 458 with a huge wing on the back which unfortunately ruins the awesome thing a bit!

I've seen that one too. The rear wing is certainly an interesting choice.

Also seen today, a dark red Mk1 Clio V6 coming onto Canvey. I think it may be the first I've ever seen on the road. Mrs Vroom almost managed to hide her disinterest when I pointed it out to her biggrin

Yup me too - and unfortunately, once you've seen something you can't un-see it vomit

There's a silver one around Southend which I've seen a few times now.

White Huracan drove past me last night... awesome thing!

White, late '60's large US coupe - maybe a Dodge Monaco - on the back of a small truck, parked up on the London bound A12 near Chelmsford.

Awesome sounding GTR (nismo plate) passed me on the A21 heading towards Bromley yesterday evening. Sadly a couple of cars had right of way at a roundabout, so I ended up 2 cars back. Could still hear it though!

Bit late posting, but saw a brand new Aston Martin DB11 on Friday on Princes Road in Chelmsford. Had dealer plates over regular 17 reg so brand new car and it looked absolutely amazing.

Yup, saw a black 66 plate one in Southend a couple of weeks ago - looked bigger in the flesh than I imagined they would be from the photos but had a certain something about it that I liked.

Friday evening at Linton crossroads, just outside Maidstone, a dark blue mid 1980's Lotus Esprit Turbo.

It looked spectacular, but if you see this you have a tail light out! wink

Spotted this morning on the westbound A13 near Wennington, a very clean, red D reg Porsche 944 Turbo. Pop-up headlights are so cool!

Yep white as searched and seen an earlier A229 post (and a fair chance it's the same one)

Yeah, the white 'Egg has been seen in and around Maidstone quite a bit.

Seems it gets used quite regularly. smile
