I saw this brand-new BMW M4 in Chesterfield, around 12:40pm. I have seen three M4's and this is the nicest colour in my opinion.

Same as my misses M4 and i agree the combo looks right.

I think I saw a PH'er today.

The car that I spotted was a blue Land Rover Discovery 3 with the plate 897 SMA. If I recall, we had a poster on here with a similar username and resided in/around Chesterfield. He had a Aston Martin DB9 the last time I checked. If you are reading this, I saw you on Newbold Rd heading out of the town centre, heading towards the temporary traffic lights. It was around 12:40(ish).

Technically not a 'spot' as we have the use of this for a few days.

But it is the first Flying Spur I have seen in the flesh:

Our elderly Turbo R (1993 model/175,000 miles) received a 'kiss' on it's rear end from a taxi last week and the bumper needs a repair.

The garage who look after the Turbo R offered the Flying Spur as a loan car at no charge, and I did not hesitate to say 'yes please' and 'thank you'.

A couple more photos from this afternoon as the light was better than earlier:

That sounds like a very nice friendly service from your garage and would certainly make you want to use them again.

Sorry to hear of the circumstances to why you got it. Could be more costly than you first thought when you end up ordering one

It will get the neighbors talking anyway.

I think it may be (!) a ploy by the dealers to encourage us to replace the Turbo R with a new Flying Spur.

The Spur is a magnificent motor car.

I much prefer that new rear end to the outgoing model:

That Scimitar has been made to look like a later one.I think there is a tribe in deepest Papua New Guinea who don't know Princess Anne one.....

Yellow McLaren P1 heading into Leamington/Warwick off the M40 yesterday ~3.30pm.

First I've seen in the flesh...not conventionally pretty, but serious presence - looks so out-of-place amongst normal traffic...

Saw three Rolls Royce Phantoms this evening northbound on the A1 near Grantham. Registered 1 UE, 1 UF and 1 UJ.
The 250,000 pound one with the rear suicide doors.....

I was in my wife's 14 year old 152,000 mile Mercedes ML diseasel....as I overtook them

They're local to me, knew whose Rollers they were as soon as I saw the reg numbers mentioned.

They do Horse Drawn Carriages too besides all the cars:

Not knocking them by the way. It's a competitive business, and they wouldn't own those vehicles if there wasn't a market for them.
