Wasn't me, I was in the Landcruiser today! Just commenting on the 'way we idiots in fast cars' drive.

We don't all drive like idiots you know.
Of course, I do, but not everybody.

No no no, you've misunderstood me. I too drive a reasonably quick car too, occasionally badly

What I mean is that sometimes supercars driven in urban areas are driven by a certain "innit" demographic who like to rev them and generally dick around, it makes a nice change to see one just burbling round.

Had a Ferrari 430 driving through Shepton mallet yesterday. Was impressed it was still driving and had all 4 wheels by the end of the town!

Looked very nice but disn't give it the beans

Yup, I think I was being tarred with that 'innit bruv' brush.

Although, I do go out in a cap and hoody quite a lot (albeit a Racing Green hoody and a Musto sailing cap).

I guess I'm a sort of middle class yob?

Lovely white R8 on Park St this evening- R6 OMH or similar. Looked familiar. Sadly the driver didn't appear to appreciate me appreciating his car and returned my smile with a scowl!

Mate of mine from school - car gets well driven.

I did see you and decided that because I was in front my car must be faster, that's what I told myself anyway! I shall count this as finally being spotted

Ah thought it might have been a meet somewhere. There was a rather lovely F430 behind you!

Popped down to St Ives, Ringwood for the weekend and on Saturday afternoon saw what looked like a seriously modified GT-R35 coming into Yeovil from Dorchester way.

Also a rally stickered yellow and blue Scoob STi on the A35 near Bere Regis this morning.

I'm sure we could come to some arrangement to swap
The F430 is such a Lovely looking car, always looks much wider on the road.
The vx is a great car, although my rear lights are currently trying to be goldfish bowls (poor seals letting water in)
Nice to see your car on the road
