Zonda
Huayra

LaFerrari

I've seen P1s, a Carrera GT and a Rolls Royce Phantom but I'd love to get a proper look at them.

Saw a 4C the other week, really nice looking cars in the flesh. Also saw an i8 which was pretty cool.

Lexus LFA.

The majority of supercars leave me cold but I'm genuinely intrigued by the Lexus.

Clearly I spend too much time ogling at cars. The only one I've not seen in the above posts is a Singer 911! That said, I'd love to take a look round a Singer.

With regards to the F40. When you do get to see one in the flesh/ metal/ carbon fibre, you'll not be disappointed.

It has a perfect stance on the road, it's lines are sensual and brutal in equal measure.

I still have a vivid reflection of when I first saw one in 1996 in Loughborough. It was a veritable feast for the senses.

I saw a Ford GT at the Simply Ford event at Beaulieu. I wish I hadn't, the build quality, panel gap and finish were rubbish. And I dont mean for a £100k car, I mean for any car.

Thats one dream ruined.

Are you sure it wasn't crashed/damaged ? The one I saw did not give that impression at all.

A Sierra XR8 used to frequent Ford Fair regularly a few years ago.
