G500, according to askMID.

Saw a nice white Aventador, I still think the Murcielago is a prettier car, but the Aventador more aggressive looking and has unbelievable road presence. Nice and low, road going missile.

G55 According to MyCarCheck App

Ford Mondeo according to autotrader

Forgive me, however I assume that the smiley means that you are jesting?

Think he meant height wise, rather than width wise.

[epom]

Yep I meant height wise, never realised they were so low.

Saw my first LaFerrari on the M40 today - I really like it. It just so happened to be Jay Kay's green one.

Width wise its about the same as my XC90, but height wise its tiny..... the camera phone distorts it somewhat, but it was barely higher than my door mirrors (if that). Ive never thought much of the 4C from press photos, but in the flesh its stunning.

They are beautiful but those light clusters are awful, the concept and the drop top version lights look so much better

kapiteinlangzaam said:

The lights are far less awful in real life than the photos suggest... for LHD euro models the easiest solution is just to buy some US spec headlights, which are essentially 'normal'.

That doesnt help UK owners though

I guess uk owners will just have to buy replacement clusters for the convertible .

Is that one on Belgian plates? Are cars cheaper in Belgium that the Netherlands?

Yes they are. In the Netherlands taxes on cars are ridiculously high. In Belgium they are just high.

Rickmansworth this morning i about wet myself!!!

Couple of cars in front i saw a vintage Ferrari it was red with baby blue and could have been a 275gts or 250gto
Either way real or rep was having kittens.

Finally managed to track down which vintage Ferrari I saw back in June trundling through Ricky.

Turns out it was a quite special 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C 09035 Clienti Speciale '1PEV'

Which also featured at the Festival of Speed this year it seems.

Presumably from DK Engineering who are based near there.

No mention of it on their website so guess they either look after it or it's one of their own.

Either way it bloody lovely.

Alderley Edge

Saw a BMW i8 for the first time on Friday, and within a few yards of itone of the new Morgan 3 wheelers. It did help to make a boring trip a bit more interesting.

Alderley Edge

Wow, it actually looks great in that colour. A nice change from the boring Bright Orange, Lime Greens etc they are usually specified with!

Agreed! First picture of a Huracan that I like.

[Shnozz]

The Huracan really does not photograph well IMO. It looks wonderful in the metal, whereas pictures I am not as enamoured. Loved the white one particularly at the Geneva motor show. Thought the interior was a great place too, although wasn't sure on the starter/fighter plane switch.

that looks superb and vastly better than the "made by ford" look of the gallardo

Not too sure about it, which end is the front? Only joking but it doesn't seem as well defined a shape as earlier Lamborghinis.
