I'd nominate the Hagley Road from Five Ways in Brum down to the M5.

In the last week I've had several near-misses as a result of drooling over Ferrari 360s, a stunning black Gallardo and, this morning, a Continental GT. I've stopped counting Elises, M3s Boxsters and 911s, apart from the GT2 I've seen once or twice.

Any others?

A43 near Towcester is pretty good, we have Silverstone traffic, TVR showroom traffic, Porsche drivers round the Porsche showroom....

A5 near MK is also good, local Enzo I beleive.

Used to live near Santa Pod & Beds Autodrome too, best road for spotting was perhaps the A6 near Thurleigh on their way up to the Airfield

Well, A52 dual carriageway thru Nottingham is pretty good!

Hagley road gets it for me - I've seen the gallardo and the Bentley Continental - also a few Ferraris as well.

There's also a bright yellow griff (T Reg I think) that goes into one of the offices there as well.

I was up at Five ways on Friday Night, just finished work, bout 11:45, and saw a R33 Skyline, Murky-Lager and Subaru Impreza Wagon. All very modified.

Seen Gallardo out side Fiveways Tesco too!! along with numerous F360s and Porsche 911s.


These sort of cars can be seen so often Cruising up and down broad street at weekends. The cars are great, but unfortunatly they clearly aren't owned by enthusiasts, just rich kids that want to be seen ij thier latest bling wagon.
