Yellow 458 with a daft looking rear wing driving through Billericay yesterday.

Am I on my own thinking that 80's/90's F cars are so much prettier? The lines of a 348 or a 355 are just so much nicer...
I was not over keen on the front end styling of the 360 or 430 but love the 458s....as for that Laferrari...Not my cup of tea at all getmecoat

Grey 458 in Chelmsford a moment ago - looked pretty good, although agree w/ OP below that 355 last "pretty" one; still not a patch on much of the '50's & '60's kit or a 308, 365. 512 etc biggrin

Dark blue TVR Griffith yesterday evening at Linton Crossroads, Maidstone.

It was stationary so didn't get to hear it, unfortunately!

I have mentioned both of these cars before, but yesterday evening around Maidstone I saw the orange TVR Vixen and the white Koenigsegg Agera.

Couple of lovelies parked outside the Roslin Hotel in Thorpe Bay earlier this afternoon - black Lambo, possibly an Aventador and (I think) a Porsche Carerra GT with GJ 1 plate, which I think used to be on (ironically) an Aventador.

1GJ is on a white 918 Spyder and hangs around Essex, was it that?

Pays the bills!

Few for me today. In & around Chelmsford: orange 911 GT3 RS - presumably coming back from the Hare and a black Healey 100 at the Boreham Interchange.

Little later on the A12 a Yugo (the small 3 door hatch) - not seen one of them for a while, a gold Bristol (I think) a 603 in Upminster and finally a matt black Corvette Z05 on the A12 heading towards the M25 near Brentwood.

Could well have been actually - I didn't really spot them until I was almost past. I think the Lambo may have been a Huracan rather than an Aventador too.

Edit - hope you are well Alex. I was pootling about in the old girl this afternoon thumbup

Very well thanks, I wasn't pootling in my new Exige today and will be taking it down the strip tomorrow at Santa Pod with PH. Glad to hear the TVR is still going well.

On Upper Stone Street coming out of Maidstone yesterday afternoon, a Ford Anglia, kind of red with faint yellow flames on the sides and bonnet, which had a large air scoop, two cherry bombs at the back and sounding very much like it had a large V6!

Sounded great and looked like a lot of fun! cool

'The Beast'
I've seen it a few times now, but it's the first time it has driven past me. It was doing all of 20mph but still sounded like thunder.
