Near where i live in Poole,theres a wealthy part (something like 4th most expensive place to live in the world) called Sandbanks. I have seen many 355/550/575/Murci/Gallardo/Vanquish/DB7 I6 Vantge and GT/DB9/way too many Bentley Continental GT's, and the odd 911, once even a Red F40 but i don't think its local. Quite dissapointed haven't seen a single AMV8 here (or anywhere), or know of any around here, which suprises me.

Only ever saw one 348 though. In fact, seen more F50's than 348's.



Joker . When have you ever seen a F50 on the road?

There is a F430 Stradale, but it's very new. Vicki Butler-Hernderson reviewed it in Driving in last week's Sunday Times. They're only going to build a few though, they're really just for a race Ferrari have every year with a load of F430 Stradales.

One driving along Sloane Street years ago and the other a few months back as I followed him into the Park Lane underpass.

And I've seen two enzo's. One on Hammersmith flyover and the other one a couple of weeks ago parked in Chinatown.

But only seen one 348. (Not including the Poseur run and London meets that is)

Thats not the Stradale, thats the 430 Challenge Racing Car.

The 360 Stradale was a road car. I'm quite sure there will be an F430 Stradale however at the moment, only the racing version is out there.

I agree re: central London - unfortunately it takes the edge of gorgeous cars.

I live in Chelsea and parked my Aston AMV8 on the Old Brompton Road last week... when I returned, coincidentally there was a Gallardo parked in front, a 430 Spider parked behind and a 612 parked behind that.

Even 9 year-olds passing by didn't bat an eyelid...

P.S. I wasn't parked right outside either the Lamorghini or the Ferrari dealerships on the Old Brompton Road before anyone asks!

Agreed buyback last month and I am physically returning the car next week...

Sorry, my mistake. It was the stripes which threw me
