RE: Supercar Parade hits London

[LoftyD]

Ha ha!

The whole collection is now outside my office!

Bit of a surprise to see it as I didn't know they were starting in St James Square!

There are several 430's, Bentleys, DB9 Volante, V8 Vantage, Ascari (hmmm!), several Quattroportes, Elises, GT3RS and more. Alas no TVR Speed 12 yet

The drivers are having breakfast now, and due to set off at about 10am. Should sound good!

I only work 3 minutes away so it would have been rude not to go and watch










Oh, and found this round the corner...

So only the ascari can loosely be called a supercar, false advertising anyone?

What the hell is that thing in the pavement? An old water tower or somthing?

I think that Ascari (not 100% though) might have driven past the Ace Cafe the other night along with a black 575M

[JonathanKK]

Do you know whether it was the new Yellow Ascari A10 or the grey KZ1 that went up in flames?

Damn.....

Supercars?

A very nice collection of cars but no better than you'll see at you next PH run.

Perhaps all of the proper supercar owners are crashing... sorry... driving around Europe doing the Gumball?

[Nickthebassist]

Where's the Cerbera Speed 12, where is it? I wanna see itttttttttttt.

[mikeyboy]

In one of the piccies from Wendover the Grey Ascari's Boot hatch has popped open. Didn't that happe to the one they tested on Topgear? Not much rigidity in the chassis if that is the case!

Cerbera Speed 12 is a Supercar. A front engined super car, but a supercar none the less!

Hi, am I imagining it or did I see one of your photos showing the Ascari with its tailgate open in motion?!

[nuttynutter123]

yea it was the yellow one that caught fire...sadly i dont know the rest of the story but will find out as soon as i can.
i am not sure why the tailgate was open i wonder wether they were getting really hot... (maybe the yellow one should have opened his)

[sb822]

The engine tailgate switch is quite easy to contact as you get in - this is what happened when Richard Hammond drove it for Top Gear. Probably the same happened again! The chassis/body is very stiff according to all who have driven it - Evo, Autocar, etc.

Have looked at your pics. I reckon that you meant to log onto Max Power or Barryboys!
Seriously, though, welcome to PHs.

Didn't know that myself until after I took the photos! Went back later on to get more only to find a giant elephant stomping round Horse Guards...
