I spotted a 488 and an Enzo on Saturday morning, which was nice. Then a Speciale decided to come and join the party. Hell of a noise that thing makes.

More importantly it's outside the Duke of Clarence so hopefully they've gone in for a pint in one of my most frequented pubs!

There's a video someone got on YT of me driving down sloane street 2 cars behind that Speciale back in August.

Time hasn't been kind to it IMO.

Nice pub but I am more of a Sporting Page man wink

Spoke with the Speciale owner. Nice chap.

The Enzo looks a lot better in the flesh than in photos. It had some fancy interior detailing which was not standard. Stitching on the seats etc. Can't remember what the name of the designer was though. The engine bay was a thing of beauty. Not sure if you can see it v well in this photo but it has "ENZO" carved into the metal:

The Enzo never made sense to me in photos but in person it looks spot on. I prefer it to the LaF, saw a few at Silverstone and they seemed far too fussy.

I visited the same Italian Car show (which was excellent) as Iva Barchetta, and was very impressed with the quality of the paint work on the Veneno. Not.

That's my 3rd favorite "drive by" pub on a sunny day and 2nd favorite "park outside" for a pint pub (when in show off your car mode!)

You know what, fk the car (even though it's awesome), you need some serious kudos for the photography.

How long does it take to be able to take photos like that? Do you need a billion £ of equipment / software?

See, you should have married Terry.
Interestingly, that's a replica, probably by a now defunct company called Tri-Tech. Powered by some sort of scooter engine and gearbox.

Sauce: my father has a few Messerschmitts.

He seems to use a Nikon D200 so no you don't need loads of fancy equipment, nowadays you can be pretty sloppy with your camera as long as you can use photoshop. Not saying he is sloppy with his camera though of course but the photos look to be a case of some decent editing, more evident on the top pic.

I'm pretty sure that's Pangbourne. Is there still a Bentley dealership there?
