Saw a nice Rolls Royce soft top this morning on the northbound B'mth spur rd. Reg was MAX**
I've seen that in Poole before. Was it green?
It was 2-tone and i think it was blue and brushed silver. I think ive seen it before too just cant think where.
Just checked the PH archive. Apparently it used to be green with a red interior. Now blue. 21MAX

I've definitely seen a green Rolls Royce convertible in Poole as I commented to SWMBO how awful it looked. The MAX registered one must have been seen at another time.

White 911, P500 SLO, parked outside The Fox in Fair Oak on my way to work this morning and on my way home, so guessing either a dedicated piss-head or the owner!

I swear it was black when I spotted it no more than a couple of weeks ago though?!!

Yeah, that's max bygraves' old car. Was it a blonde guy driving it? I think that might be his son.

Nope. He's an estate agent. I was discussing this very car with a customer of my mine only this afternoon. He maybe getting something a little more 'interesting' soon...

Your eyes aren't deceiving you, it was black, I assume one of the colours must be a wrap unless it's a new car.
It's parked up in front of the B&Q in Park Gate a lot as well.

I see it often on Botley Road Luke - does it still have the dodgy font number plate ?

Isn't it matt black currently ?

It was matt black the last time I saw it and had black wheels, it's not white with black wheels. I guess the matt balck would have been a wrap as I don't think I've heard of Porsche having that as a stock colour? Looked lovely either way!

The number plate has quite small lettering I think.

And I think the SLR lives in or near Grayswood - quite often see one turning off towards there from Haslemere but never seen the plate tbh smile

'Parked' at Corfe Mullen shops this afternoon.
This interesting C-Class was also in the same car park.

Only had a single exhaust and normal brakes so wasn't a full fat AMG. Had the grille and wheels covered in 'carbon fibre'.

Parked outside a swimming pool in Soton, a Holden R8 GTS Thunder (probably has more parts to the name, but the boot lid was full,, laugh)

Must be the day for AMGs - spotted a C63 saloon in Havant earlier: 71TOM

Estate = Win
Fake AMG Saloon = Fail

The difference between the two was huge. The C63 looked expensive, subtle and classy. The AMG Carbon looked like it had crashed into Halfords!

Carbon AMG 'rims' nice.

Dear god, that must have cost a fortune and has created such a hideous result.

I'm sure Jon's right, just small lettering.

Is the small non-standard font not 'dodgy' in PH land ?
