Did anyone else notice it? In Fast and Furious style orange and about 11 minutes into the programme.

Yeah, couldn't believe it. Last place you'd expect to see one!

My son said it was an RX7, I thought it was a Ginneta?

Glad I wasn't the only one who got called sad by their better half then!

Thinking about it a little more... It appears to be a Veilside Fortune RX7 which is very similar to the car Han drove in Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.

I must admit I like that as well I stand corrected but I'm sure that kit is a 12 piece kit that changes every panel on the car & costs £8k unpainted yikes

Glad to see I am not the only apparent "saddo" commented on cars in a TV show. The OH wasnt impressed with my Tokyo Drift knowledge..

Great spot, that.

Is there some sort of film/tv related spotted thread?

Oddest thing I've noticed is an Opel Speedster in the woeful, yet mildly comical in my teenage years, Martin Lawrence film, National Security.



Very bizarre given it is set in LA and appears for just a couple of seconds.

She calls me sad for watching it full stop, let alone car-spotting!

And wasn't that Pug in the skip wrong? It had a 13 plate, but I am sure that style 107(?) stopped being made years ago. Sad sad sad...

ps. I like off their rockers!

I didn't notice the plate but it was a 106 they stopped building them in 2003.
