Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)
Discussion
In blue though. Spotted a red Porsche 959 today, no picture as I was driving. No front number plate, car had an unusual rear number plate but i couldn't read it as it was driving away from me, it wasn't a UK style plate. It was in Leavesden, Watford up near the Warner Brother studios, it turned into a local road so not sure if lost or they live there.
Will keep an eye out and try for a picture next time.
I also saw something that looked very much like the BMW i8, but it was in the distance at the Grove hotel, it definitely had a BMW badge. What model BMW could it be ?
However the two DB5's parked next to each other ( one leaking petrol !!) was a much nicer sight.

I saw (I imagine) the same one driving on the M25 on Monday morning. Heading towards Watford way.Saw this in Cobham, Surrey last week. It has a small blue rear number plate.
Blue plate...Swiss perhaps?
Was driving home from Tesco's Riverhead and just as I got to the lights outside Riverhead primary one of these pulled up at the main road stopped on red too.
On foreign plates, German probably, my tongue was hanging out and my eyes were bulging to take proper note. Now in Sevenoaks there is an official Lambo dealer, mclaren bring their cars around and lots of Ferrari's pass by, but this was on a completely different level.
It is as big in real life as you imagine. As the lights turned green I drove past it and gave a thumbs up. I am not sure if he even saw me in my city car up there yonder.
Ironic he was outside a primary school at 8am, he could have shown those yummy mummies how puny their Range Rover Sports were! Or maybe he was on the school run, driving from Germany, via neutral Belgium, just to drop his kids off ?
That car is just insane. You have to have one in your fantasy garage just because you never bought the Lambo LM002 back in the day.

They've been out about 6 months
Test drove a similar demonstrator a month or so ago
Fantastic bit of kit but not £100k better than a DB9

Hi there,
Followed a very nice Porsche 993 through Stoke on Trent tonight.
It looked like a 993 GT2 however I know these things are a) rare as hens teeth and b) worth a bloody fortune. Might have been a GT replica but a pretty convincing one if it was.
Anyone know the car ?
DVLA check says its a 3600cc and registered on 01/08/94 (first day of the new reg).
Regards
Tim
