Lambo Aventador SV roadster in a dark silver in Brompton, Gillingham on Saturday while I was dropping my bike off at the bike shop. Sounded like nothing else I'd heard. My 6 year old son was suitably impressed.

My mum in laws next door neighbour has got an orange Noble M600 so been seeing that out and about quite a lot. Owner gave my son a sit in the driver's seat a little while back and he hasn't stopped going on about it since biggrin

I think I've seen that one in the past - bizarre thing, only other one I've seen was in California & it was towing a small caravan.

That E-Type's v. cool, the VW's a bit much for me.

Few today: red Ferrari 430 in the Chelmsford city centre & a brown Rover P6 on the outskirts; brown/gold Jag MKII heading towards Chelmsford passing Chatham Green & a brown BL Mini in Braintree.

Pair of '80's cab's with roofs down as well: Saab 900 on the A12 nr. Witham & an Escort XR3i in Chelmsford.

Just remembered also saw a Rolls-Royce Dawn on the outskirts of Braintree.

Mk4 Supra near Beckenham - anyone else noticing more of these, now the Mk5 is about?

And yesterday, a Mk2 Escort rally car on the M25, later saw it near Brands.

I saw a Dawn near Danbury or Latchingdon over the weekend, and a car that looked like an Ariel Atom but wasn't. Plenty of VW vans out, and other classics including an Escort RS Turbo, and an Escort RS Cosworth (and a Sierra RS Cosworth yesterday). A 911 (80s) yesterday too, in guards red. Also, these.

Grey/Grigio 550 Maranello near Ulting this weekend.

Sounded amazing! Must have had a mildly worked exhaust on it but not over the top, cultured and layered sound etc.
