No picture I'm afraid, but on my country B road commute an Aston DB11 joined the road in front. Had a nice couple minutes drive following him on some twisty bits. Sounded sublime (music off and windows open).

I was trying to work out why he'd be out in -4'C on filthy roads. Then we got to the village junction and I could see a huge crack in the windscreen, from around the rear view all the way down to the bottom. He then pulled into H R Owen in Panbourne. I guess to get that windscreen replaced. Car was on a private plate.
Certainly brightened up my commute!
From Henley direction?

Flat front left tyre?
It's been there few days, can only assume they're waiting on a tyre being delivered

Was I asking you? Were you there? What is it with this place, everyone is out to cause arguments...

Why don't you take your roll eyes elsewhere.

I'm not trying to argue, I'm just wondering how he's supposed to know if it was coming from Henley? I can think of several routes between Henley and Pangbourne, and they approach Pangbourne from four different directions.

So I wondered how he'd know, and why it was relevant.

1970/71 pre-impact bumper car with 1973 onwards impact bumper rear light strip...? Apologies if I'm wrong (lovely car either way).

Lime green Mclaren 570 (not sure which variant) on someone's drive in Stratford this morning. Still not 100% about the front light treatment, but it definitely looked good in green...

Y88 MCL - is that a company vehicle?

Napier Green its called
It will probably be a 570S, could be a 540C (looks almost identical) or a 570GT but that has a coupe rear that opens like the E types do
Doubt that is a works reg the do use MCL but tend to just stick to normal date id

I was asking the poster which way his commute took him into Pangbourne as a colleague has a DB11 that is currently in having a screen replaced. I don't need roll eyes attitude from some random on here...

Pretty sure it belongs to McLaren. They had Y27 MCL on a press car and I'm sure I've seen Y88 MCL too, plus they have many more in that style.

Is that on silverlink by the AM dealership?
Some jaw droppers in there at the moment, including some classics.

Not my spot but a friend on FB put this one, assuming it's a press car due to the plate?

It was on a One-77 at some point, so I guess so.

Definitely a 570S, I saw it on the same driveway on my way into the office.

There's a lovely silver SLS sat on one of the driveways on Tiddington Road too, sat next to a red current gen Mustang.
The house was for sale on rightmove a while back, the interior was quite special...
