Porsche Carrera GT heading north up the A350 past Lacock this lunchtime. First one I've seen on the road in the UK.
Saw a silver one heading north on the M5 yesterday around Burnham. Silver, reg number E7 CGT. Beautiful. 48k miles according to the MOT web site - that's got to be relatively leggy

Great that it's being used and not just stuck in a garage somewhere!

Could be a generational thing. Guess it's not cool to just say what you mean these days! laugh

Lovely red Ferrari just now on the A390. Thanks for the u-turn behind us and roar to head off West again.

Spotted what appeared to be a genuine Jaguar D type driving through Gloucester today, it was a metallic blue and had a dateless number plate on it.

I was just crossing the road by Hempstead garage when the Jag drove from the Over round about direction.

Sadly I wasn't quick enough to grab a picture.
MDO 21


Just seen again

There's a dark grey one that lurks around Exeter sometimes. It doesn't look like it's ever been washed on the occasions I've seen it, with brake dust on the wheels too. Really refreshing to see cars like that being used properly.
And on the spotted front, a white C63 sounding good in Exeter earlier.

Exeter to Bickleigh around 2 this afternoon I had a rather nice latest shape Merc SL in a browny/goldy impossible to describe colour behind me joining in the overtakes. I was in the black Focus if you're on here. wavey Sounded rather fruity!

Beautiful dark grey MG SV in Brixham yesterday afternoon. Brightened my day as I was walking home. One of my all time favourite cars.

Saw an Aston Martin V12 Vantage and a purple Ferrari Daytona braving the rain this morning on the A303 going East bound. A few miles after I saw another pricey looking classic, not too dissimilar to an AC Cobra, going the same direction. I have seen a purple Daytona before at Downside's Concours, and this might have been the same one. Nonetheless, its not a common colour to see on any car, let alone a classic Ferrari.

In Plymouth this afternoon, I followed a silver Porsche Panamera Hybrid. I have to admit to not knowing it even existed!

Near where I'd parked on the Hoe was this immaculate Supra. Hats off to whoever has looked after this car for the last 23 years.

Spotted in the Waitrose (*cough* Lidl) carpark in Bishopsworth just now. Looked very tidy.
