It looked black but maybe dark blue? I saw it head on but think it was a coupe unless they had the roof up? Sorry, not much use am I.

Off to Tregrehan hillclimb a little later so hoping to see some interesting cars.

Tregrehan was good yesterday. The walk around the paddock was interesting. Every days a school day. Enjoy!

I'm feeling most unloved, no one has ever spotted either of my cars and they both have PH stickers on them. Granted, one is under the bumper and the other car has it on the roof. Maybe that's why

Being in Cornwall I tend to mostly see nice cars going the other way on the A30

Same. Mine aren’t low profile either, a bright blue Alfa and a Ferrari!

I saw Hugh Grant in his Ferrari near Bodmin on the A30 once. Oh and Paul Daniels / Debbie McGee on the A39 but that was years ago.

Saw a Mazda with the plate 1 RDR and privacy glass yesterday and seem to recall some comedian having that plate, or one very similar.

I occasionally spots something interesting, although I don’t recall seeing anything interesting being driven enthusiastically unless it to or from a cars and coffee. Was following a Sierra Cosworth last month and he put his foot down when he saw me behind. It was breathing heavy.

Silver Audi (possibly an A4 or A6) with a smiley on the boot, seen today around mid day near Filton Church.

First smiley I've seen in the wild for a long time!

New BMW 3 series with a aged/rusty gulf wrap in Woolacombe yesterday?

My shortcomings that I’m so precious about my paint that I won’t put a sticker on the car. 😳😂😁

You could put it on the rear window instead.

I've had a smiley on my current car for over 3yrs and still haven't been spotted....surprising considering it's like a hi-vis jacket on wheels!

I have one on my rear windscreen but even behind me in traffic you’d be hard pushed to spot it.

That does look nice and neat.

I’d be in two minds as to flashing lights not wanting to freak out the driver if I saw that. 😂

I generally assume anyone flashing me is goading me into putting my foot down

That’s half the reason I’d be reluctant. Not my style. 😁

So I live in Swansea but I took a trip to Bristol yesterday to have a nose around the showrooms and check out the city centre, wasn't disappointed at all. Definitely was not expecting to see a Valkyrie, albeit under a cover but Aston Martin Bristol were incredibly kind to allow me to photograph everything in there.




Also in the showrooms were a Huracan Tecnica, Huracan Sterrato, MC20 Cielo, this DB12 Volante


A handful of Zagatos




Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster passing Cribbs Causeway on my way down to the showrooms



Then down in town I also saw a TVR Tuscan 2 and a Porsche 911 GT3




Always knew Bristol was a great place for seeing cars but damn!
