Yellow Reliant Scimitar SE4c(?) Coupe near Uttoxeter this morning. I was going in other direction but it looked in fantastic condition!! Very very rare nowadays!

A couple of months back I saw BUG 1 trundle past my house heading towards Wysall while mowing the front lawn, that's all three I've seen now;

BUG 1 - Black / Orange Veyron
BUG 11 - White / Silver(?) Veyron SuperSports
BUG 111 - Black Chiron

All local to me and I’ve never seen them on the road...

[raceboy]

Don't see the Chiron very often but the other two get out and about quite a bit.

BUG 1 is now on a "110 ans" Chiron... one of 20 made.

Thanks, whenever I've seen them they've always been driven considerately, although last time I saw BUG111 on the M42, he had a red 991 GT3 right up his chuff, I assume trying to goad the owner into a bit of a futile race.

I wonder if the GT3 happened to be 'Y111 SCD'
The Bugatti owner does have a very nice collection of cars in addition to the BUG's, regularly see him in his ENZO....with matching ENZ plate

Needless to say, Nottingham’s resident Lamborghini lover has taken delivery of a stunning Aventador SVJ. Stunning blue with gold wheels. Sounds like thunder.

Finally saw this earlier today, I was at the Esso garage in Ruddington and it came trundling past backfiring like a 50 cal, it was about 2 degrees and he had the roof off it, fair play.

Dodge Challenger in Balsall Common this afternoon!

A bright blue Lamborghini on Butts Road in Coventry yesterday lunchtime.

[Craikeybaby]

A yellow NSX heading south on the M42 on wed evening.

[cheeky_chops]

Bit late... was behind a TVR grif last sunday iirc, private plate going from Knowle to Balsall Common. Lots of other spotted like a old escort with full cage in Solihull.

Going to SORN the atom this weekend.... looks like no use for the next few months :-(

[Craikeybaby]

Also SORNing the MR2, which at least will get the tax away from being due at the same time as the tax on the van.

To keep it on topic - was good to see someone using their FD RX-7 to go out on their essential shopping trip in Meriden earlier.

A ferrari, amg gt and a lambo all in the petrol station opposite Hillmoren in coalville last night.

[21st Century Man]

No photo, but a very interesting early 2dr split screen Moggy Thou in Lidl car park. It was faux bare metal and rust, suicide doors, Vauxhall Corsa C dashboard and interior, 1.3CDTi under the bonnet. Very nicely done. It was as if a Corsa had skinned a Morris Minor and was wearing it like a coat.

Bit of a tenuous one this and some of you may have seen this video posted elsewhere

But I have seen that F40 knocking around certain villages in Nottingham over the last few years, I always wondered who owned it and now I know, he was a very shrewd businessman in his day by all accounts (property and a garden centre) My old man helped build that house in the video for him 30 years ago, I remember many wet days during the school holidays labouring and helping to lay out the stone work, nice to see that he's still well and the house is looking good.

I’ve never ever seen that car out and about!
