Those colours really need to be reversed, IMO. And the white/red versions look like a child's toy. Again, better the other way round, I reckon.

There. I said it.

Actually, that's not a bad shout.

Forgot how absolutely cracking they look in white-over-blue.

PERFECTION for me right there. Colour scheme n all

One day…

I can imagine being a reasonably competent driver and getting much out of an older model but can't help feel that you'd need to be more than just competent to to get as much out of a more modern car. Harris' skill with these things is remarkable and there's no way I'd get to a tenth of his skill but he seems to get more out of a modern car than I ever will.

I think the current stuff, with all the electronics, is probably far more 'fun' around the limit than you'd expect, as the electronic safety nets are now graduated and progressive (some can be dialled up/down). But that limit is now so high it'd need to be on track (and even then?!?)...where actually all you want is a decent chassis and maybe some switchable (decent) traction control, not 10 layers of ESPCTC-drift-2-SSC-showboat-mode.

(My weekend toy only has TC...and pretty slow-witted, on/off type one at that. Oh, and ABS...but I'm of the opinion that my driving god gene must have got lost and I'd really rather have ABS than not...)



Doofus...possibly (different blue perhaps)...but the car I passed looked just right as was...in the right mood that could have been a possible swap...

after seatgate I am just going to add that Zagato thing is an aesthetic challenge

only for me personally, and other opinions equally valid

Aesthetically it’s spot on for the period.

I bloody love the Diablo, but the roadster never looked quite right.

The murci roadster with the roof on looks like an abomination.

Pretty much everything looked crap, but also good at the same time, IYSWIM.

One of these (probably not this one) heading up the A46 out of Stratford this afternoon.

Oh my!!!

Aye, I wasn't fussed about the blue wheels to begin with but it all works so well. Love to have a blat around in one of those, even the older models are still a good drive apparently.

There. I said it.

Was always the black one with orange that tickled my fancy!

[Every day a journey]

Love ‘em. Certainly rare these days. Even more rare to see it just parked on street

Assuming that's a non standard colour, although Porsche do have quite a broad colour range, can any beard confirm?

Blue and white is a 996, black and orange is a 997

A baby blue 71 reg Lamborghini Urus with black wheels yesterday. It was loud!

I do hope that 'baby blue' is not an official colour because that would be rather odd.

What do you find the term “baby blue” odd? It’s a commonly used colour name…

I think that's this car...in which case, the green RS6 wagon (on airbags) is owned by the same chap.

It's had a full nut and bolt restoration, the underside is concourse...I don't think it's a standard colour based on his other cars.

Judging by the number plates, I think he owns all of this line-up as well

He did say he had a Lancia and some other German stuff

Never mind the German junk, that Cosworth is stunning.
I wouldnt have put air on it though.
