Spotted an orange 997 GT3 in Ripley last night, about 7.10, pulling out from where the Crest of the Wave chippy is? Beautiful car.

Also a nice 360 Ferrari spider spotted, saturday about 12.30 in Derby on the roundabout with Plektron place at the side of it!!! (can't think what roundabout is called!!!)

Two very nice cars, made a nice change from the usual boring Derby traffic!!!! Any of these belong to PHers?

I work in Derby and see Aston's, TVR's, Porsche's, Ferrari's, and even a few Lambo's. I even saw a silver GT3 yesterday. The guy that owns Pektron used to have a 360, but I think he's changed it now.

Shouldn't really be surprised at seeing nice cars in Derby, theres always a few round Chartwell, the classic place just round the corner from Chartwell (can't think of name!!) and quite surprising how many you see up near Alfreton Rd. Ind. Est.

I believe the owner of Pektron is a member on here and has a Lambo.

I saw a grey 997 GT3 in Littleover the other day.

A friends relative is something to do with Chartwells they had Jay Kays Enzo in for some work a bit ago apparantly.

I saw an Enzo come past me last year, had no idea what it was doing around here. Guess it was JK's.

There are two or three Enzo's that live in and around Derby. One is black, the rest are red. Jay Kays will have been in on a trailer I think so probably a local car.

yes





Would that be the orange Gallardo? See it fairly frequently but it's always going the opposite way, (unfortunately).

rofl My only justification is, I really like the bright orange 997 GT3 and haven't seen one in that colour before so it was really nice to see one!

BTW: I'm originally from Bolehill, now you'd be excited to see anything that wasn't a shopping cart or a farmers car there!!!!!!!!!!!
