Altrincham yesterday afternoon. Looked and sounded fantastic!

very nice. Think that's a 993 turbo S? Nice shot of 'chlamydia cafe' in the background too!

The 8th made customer 12C!

Belong to someone here or random? Does it have a modified exhaust or are they all that loud at idle?

I thought so, I was on Mossborough round-a-bout when I noticed you... sadly in the family wagon not the Lotus.

[KMF]

Very close to me... im on Springfield Lane.

Not sure how I've missed a bright green atom!

[Cainey]

I'm in Rainford and I can't recall seeing either of your cars about. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

Hi,

I`m in Villiers Crescent. I think you spotted my Chimaera a few days ago.

[Tickle]

Just need a few more for a full house of British cars in Eccleston

... any Morgans knocking about!

Your TVR looked great by the way

[KMF]

There must be more of these around than I’ve seen....because this is the only one I’ve seen! Gemini, Warrington.




And not sure if this was anything special or not? Gemini, Warrington.

Saw a black one of these in Burscough yesterday. I have to say I've never really been a fan of the big front engined Mercs but in the flesh it looked sublime.

A few spots yesterday:

Spotted a red 60s Mustang with a cream or white roof parked up at Alpha Motors in Goose Green in Wigan. Couple of weeks ago spotted a black classic Citroen - possibly a Traction Avant, parked in the same spot. There's also a bright green Lamborghini (Gallardo or something similar) that I've seen a few times there.

Also, dark grey or black Aston Martin convertible on Warrington Rd, Goose Green, Wigan.

Shortly after spotted a white MG B roadster heading towards the junction with Poolstock Lane.

This morning, spotted a fawn coloured E-Type Jag convertible on the back of a loader heading up Old Rd towards Lowbank Rd in Ashton in Maker field. Only briefly caught the side and rear, but looked like either a series 2 or series 3 model judging by the absent of rear lights above the bumpers.

When a non car person tries to explain something they’ve seen to you….

“…a big black thing with a lovely leather interior”

Luckily they got a pic, 17 plate Wraith, Runcorn on Monday


17 Aventador S at Cars and Coffee Liverpool last week. (at the meet so doesn't count as a true spot, I know, but anyway...)

Completely misread that.
I thought "17 Aventadors? Cracking turnout, that!".

[Tickle]

I parked quite close to the Lambo at cars and coffee, it's a big car! I was more drawn however to the Escort Cosworth and Delta Intergrale further up, the old rally reps still do it for me.

Ha!, sorry about that, I see what you mean!



The Lambo’s always get the attention at the meets, I know. It was more because it was the new S version really. I too get just as excited about oddball/rarities/cult type things.

1992 Renault 21 Turbo Quadra?! I just looked on howmanyleft and it was saying 6 left on the road for 2016!

Anyone on here got the 991 Carrera on Cowley Hill Lane in St. Helens?

[Jukebag]

Spotted a grey Jaguar F-Type convertible with black hood (which was up) around 12noon today parked up on Robin retail park in Wigan opposite Argos and Pets at Home.

Today spotted a grey Jag F Type convertible on Almond Brook Rd heading towards Standish town centre. Also spotted a purple-ish/blue early model Lotus Elan convertible heading along Gathurst Rd near John Rigby College.
