Despite driving the best part of 90 miles home, I usually see very few nice or interesting cars. Not sure why yesterday was any different, but there seemed to be a fair few about.

I was heading North bound on the A34, so thumbsup if it was anyone on here.

But heading the same way was a lovely black TVR Tuscan with black custom plates, which sounded fantastic. A blue TVR Griff heading southbound although on a trailer.

2 Ferrari's. One was a met red and looked flipping huge. Think it might have been an FF but only caught a climpse. The other was Ferrari Rosso red with black stripes. Again not 100% sure what it was. 430 probably.

I also saw no less than 3 lime green MKII Focus RS's. I saw one the day before, but was amazed to see 3 in the same colour in the space of 20 miles. Would have thought there was a meet if it was the weekend.

A Relient Scimitar also heading south on a trailer. 2 Roadster Coupes and a few nice looking 911's. Certainly made a change from all the normal Passat's and Audi's.

I really like seeing all the nice cars about this time of year, and remember it's 'drive it day' April 17th!

Yeah think that's it. I sit quite low in my car and the central barrier made it hard to see the front of the Ferrari. Sounded nice as it went past though smile

mid-week trackday?

I drive the A34 every day and its pretty common to see the same "type" of fast car on the same day when they're some sort of event going on.

I saw a bunch of "drifty" type nissans going northbound A34 on (i think) tuesday? Not together but too much of a coincidence that there were on the same road on the same day.. i'm guessing a track day at silverstone?
