From 08/03/14..

iPhone photos..

i3, looks very odd...



Purple 458, doesnt show up properly on this photo



Very happy to still spot these around, my fav Aston



The highlight of the day, the only CGT I have ever seen driving, what a noise!



This looked epic!



Tim's 12C, I seen the same amount of 12C's on that day as I did for the whole of 2012/2013..

The I3 is certainly a strange car. After going in one as my first electric car experience I'm not sure that I like them yet. Pulling away with no noise will certainly take a lot of getting used to!

Have to say I couldn't disagree more. Personally, I think that this paint/wrap/whatever is hideous, and the 'flat' nature of the finish leaches the life out of the car. Not my favourite Ferrari, but far from hideous in a more 'conservative' finish. Don't get me wrong, I'm not belittling your opinion, nor do I want to start any internet "handbags" about it. I just don't like that at all.

It's a lot better up close then in the photos, seeing Rosso 458's get boring after you see loads, this is a nice change, I know not everybody will like it BUT I do!


458 by michaelbham243, on Flickr

Here it is before it got wrapped, it didnt look different to any others that are about.

Very marmite, In 1 look it looks flat of any kind of beauty, but in another look very very menacing.

Just seen an orange Lamborghini convertible coming the other way down London road in Raunds. I didn't know we had show off's of such magnitude in our area.

Can't disagree that it looks more 'interesting' than 'yet another red 458' but I'd personally choose a nice deep dark blue (if I could afford one in the first place). Good on the owner for 'daring to be different' and all. Like I said, no judgement levelled against you for liking it, it's just different strokes for different folks, I suppose. There are some Ferraris which suit red, and only red really. I'm thinking 308/328 for a start. Then there are some which should NEVER be red - such as the 456. Others simply look 'better' in colours other than red IMHO, and the 458 is one of them. Just not in that wrap, though wink

I agree about the deep dark blue colour choice.. I also agree about red only on some Ferrari's and some which shouldnt be..

A few from Alderley Edge the other weekend.
The last photo is truly rubbish, but any ideas what the spec is?

I suspect that GT3 RS was being delivered back after the recall for spontaneous combustion.

I just walked down to my local Coop, Fernhill Road, Farnborough.

Rumbling past was this....



Plymouth Road Runner Superbird

Now it's not my photo (it looks like a Blackbushe meet) but it was that exact car. Utterly wonderful V8 burble, and such a huge car looked completely out of place on the mean streets of Cove. Totally unexpected spot, I wouldn't want one myself, but I'm so very glad to have seen/heard it this morning.

Not sure how 'genuine' it is. It may be the real deal, of a very good replica of the "Superbird" but either way, what a fantastic car to have. Whoever owns it - good on yer, friend.
This car was at the Pine Ridge meet last Sunday. The owner will be quite willing to tell you all about the work he has done on it; and the rest of his life history if you have the stamina to listen. He loves an audience. Nonetheless, an awesome looking car.

And, an incredible 1958 BMW 507 casually parked up:

IMO that Aventador bodykit ruins the lines of the car. Why do people think they know better than trained designers....? That BMW is utterly stunning.

1983 Y plate spoils the look of the 507.

Back in the day when old imports were given current year letters.

Well done DVLA.....rolleyes
