Saw a yellow Diablo a few weeks ago at Donnington on a track day.It made the circuit look easy.The bummer was that i stayed in the pit lane watching everone else after he came off the track.My girlfriend went back to our car as she was cold,when i got back she said that before the guy in the Diablo went he was doing loads of doughtnuts around the car park.The chances of seeing many Diablos on the road are slim,the chances of seeing one get thrashed are rare and i bloody missed it.

These Lambo's are gettng common - I saw a Murcielago (sp?) parked in the services (M3 before Basingstoke), was parked in a disabled space. I could be wrong but if the owner was disabled he would have a job getting in and out of that thing - looked v nice though (yellow)! Then last week I saw 2 Diablo's on the same day, one of them ambling round a mini roundabout - I kid you not the loudest road car I have ever heard (must have had a sports exhaust?).

Awww, why don't I ever see things like that! Have seen a 355 down Cowley Road a few times though...

There's a silver 360 runs down iffley road now and then, and a gunmetal DB7 Vantage I often see parked in Longwall street...

Oxford has a few - they're just well hidden.

Didn't it just!

Shame the traffic was backed up - I waited a while to see if it would get room for a quick blat up the road...

Well, there are a whole bunch of Tivs round Baker Street & Marylebone. They either live their or work there, but it does give me a TVR fix when I need one.

He must have been having a bit of a cruise round, I saw it just before 2 going down from St James Barton roundabout towards the centre, he had to stop at the lights and then got a clear run down from the lights past the police station!

Edited to say: he probably had to crawl through the peace protestors on the centre - bet he enjoyed that Just what you want a flash car in the middle of a peace protest

It is true... there should just be more exotica for me to gawp at! The guy I parked next to where I was living last year turned up in a Maserati 3200GT, a Ferreri and a Martini-liveried Integrale at various points over the course of the year!

There's a hairdersser just round the corner from me who's got an Integrale - jet black, lovely

And there's a bloke in the chemistry department who parks his XKR (Red, with 20" chrome wheels!) outside the DP in the science area...
