Agreed. And they're not driven anyway, just parked up in a hotel for all the pubescent youtubers to drool over and envy. One can only assume this prince has a minute penis.

They are driven, jealously will get you no where, it's nice to see these cars out and about instead of being stuck in a garage and never even driven.

Rabidly daft and jealous comment. You have no idea how they're driven or the size of his chopper....yet assume the worst. Let's just appreciate we get to see these great cars.

Not sure what this is but followed it for a little way around some quiet roads not too far from the factory this morning. Does anyone know?

Been clearing out my phone today. Various spots from the last year or so, most of which are in the rather less supercar-rammed location of Dundee. Some supercars, some rarities. I'll try to date/locate them as best I can.

Aston Martin DBS, Stirling services, sometime in 2014 I think.



Daimler Double Six, Hilltown area of Dundee, April 2015 - recently seen on much less awful numberplates, don't worry! Belongs to the man who owns the garage in the background here, spoke to him and he said he'd restored it himself over a period of many years. Looked absolutely wonderful.





Ferrari 612, Broughty Ferry, April 2015. My favourite modern Ferrari by a long way.



Alpina B10 3.3, Dundee, May 2015. If Seek's around/reading, please let me know if this is actually rare or not!



Humber Spectre, outside Waitrose in Stirling, May/June 2015. I had no idea what it was so had to ask my mum, at which point she dug out photos of one of her grandad's old ones! Lovely old thing.




Lexus RCF in Stockholm last August.



Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, Dundee, last August. Wonderful colour, nasty wheels - seems to be a combo that Aston specialise in these days.



Rolls-Royce Dawn and Wraith, Aston Martin Vanquish, Gleneagles, May 2016. The colour combos on both Rolls-Royces were... interesting.



Ferrari F430 and Mercedes AMG GT, Gleneagles, May 2016. Forgive the zoomed in photo, it was from a corridor on my down to the bar! Merc looked a hundred times better than I was expecting it to IRL.



And finally, my favourite spot - BMW 2002ti. Just completely perfect to my eyes.



Sorry for photo/word glut!

A rather nice Aston Martin in a petrol station in Guildford today, with I think the Jag/Aston on the road behind it.

It was Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold so saw loads of nice cars on A281 on way home from work. Ferrari Testarossa, Noble, Caterum, Porsche to name a few

Looks like a Honda NSX in the foreground.

from that distance and angle the Merc puts me in mind of a Crossfire

Didn't see that!

Very nice 550 on the A7 heading south in France yesterday. Very nice plate. Anyone know who the old boy would be driving it?

Well spotted, I think that the one I first posted was perhaps an earlier car.

This looks like the one that was spotted;

The Queen feels that if her subjects have gone to the trouble of going to see her, they should be able to see her. This is why her official cars have a lot of glass. It's function over form.

Seems they are the same car from here:

"Opaque panels over the backlight of the car are removable, allowing the choice between an increased level of privacy or an improved view of the occupants from outside the car. When not in use the panels are stowed in the boot."

Saw this on Park Lane yesterday afternoon. LaFerrari. F12 TDF. 918. P1. Veyron Rembrandt.

This sums up everything that's wrong with the 'supercar scene'. Some of the finest cars in the world being delivered to some of the most frustratingly congested roads in the world. fk off.

Agreed. And they're not driven anyway, just parked up in a hotel for all the pubescent youtubers to drool over and envy. One can only assume this prince has a minute penis.

You come across as very jealous and bitter, wife run away with a Saudi prince or something?

It's their car and they can fo what they want. I love how judgemental this forum can be at times.

Presumably also allows her hat to be worn comfortably in the car too and allows more elegant entry and egress.

There are two of those Bentleys.

Gaydon this morning, like shooting fish in a barrel but what the heck... these two arrived together, they're part of a large collection which lives not far from the museum, I met their custodians a couple of weeks ago when they brought an Aston DB4GT and an early E-Type Fixed Head to a local show, they mentioned at the time that they had three old Masers and other Italian exotics in the collection so I had a feeling they might bring something along today...

The Ghibli is one of eight RHD coupes ever built, it's also an auto which might possibly make it unique amongst those eight, having sat in it for a few moments the old grey cells started twitching a little... can you imagine buying one of these new back in 1971...? The Grifo was originally red with a black interior but the owner decided to ring the changes...




First time seeing an 8C in the metal, just gorgeous, the deep blue really suits it...

[P5BNij]

More Ghibli / Grifo shots from this morning...













Also a small line up of 4Cs, first time I've had a proper look at them close up, if only the boot were a bit bigger...






The only Ferraro to turn up...
