Went to have a look at the aforementioned BMW i8 at Elms in Cambourne this afternoon. Wow, what a car! -







Wasn't entirely sure about it seeing pics in the mags, but it really is a tremendously striking looking thing in the metal. Glad they never toned the concept car styling down as it works great! thumbup

Got my first look at the new M4 Coupe whilst over there earlier also. Very handsome looking thing it is too IMO cool -

Ah thank you Forthright MC - your uploading skills are obviously better than mine! I agree, it does look much better in the flesh. A very appealing car.

I will sort a full update soon! I'm too busy this week. Chaotic life, and at the moment I've spent every free moment driving it!
TVR Chimaera 4.5l, 28,000 on the clock, flip flop yellow (Looks white/pearl in different light). She's shabby cosmetically but I don't care, I can work on that. She's going in for major service and some other bits in a couple of weeks.
Usually seen around the Stotfold area, being driven by a grinning idiot!!

A dark blue XJ220 through Hinxworth yesterday (Friday) at 5pm. First one I've seen for over 10 years. Rolled past as I was leaving the house and my jaw just hit the floor.

Turns out it mighht have just been one plane, although there were at least half a dozen circling at the time. Pilot is apparently ok, taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.

One of my crappy iPhone photos




Today about half hour ago we had the pleasure of a Spitfire & Hurricane flypast smile

Probably on their way to Peterborough from Shuttleworth.

Having a lot of traffic this past year, even my Father is getting jealous!



ETA

Just had an update...

Apparently it was "A collision between two gliders. One lost it's wing and pilot evacuated. Other glider managed to land safely."

Pilot taken to hospital for precautionary measures.
