Just spotted this ABT AS7, big and a little brash perhaps but I quite liked it.

Some bewinged red Lambo making a hell of a racket in Leeds earlier.

Seen from behind and at distance, and they all look the same to me anyway, so no idea which variety of Italian lunacy it was.

Was it a C6 Z06? I was in my red one and passed a black Z06 somewhere around Leeds on Friday (don't know where,I was a little lost biggrin ), it was the first time I've ever seen another C6 in the UK.

last week a 911 GT3 maybe? looked like a track car being pulled down the M1 by an orange pickup with big arches on matching private plates.

Are you Harrogate or Leeds? Be good to get more of them about, everyone needs a Corvette!!

However, be prepared to get a lot of attention, whenever I park up in town I know that there is always going to be a cringy moment of people stood around it whilst I sheepishly get in. Unlike the R8 though, everyone seems to love it and it get's no hate, with the R8 I seemed to just attract abuse for some reason.

Have you driven one yet?

I'm in Leeds mate.

Yes, good friend of mine has a C6 in Dubai and driven that and very impressed. A potential need for a LHD car has prompted me to return to consider one. Never really expected them to be attention grabbing to be honest. As much as I enjoy them, I never saw them as that "flash" so assumed it wouldn't be as in ya face as various others. Doesn't really worry me either way but interesting to note that.

There is a yellow C5 corvette near me certainly eye catching, a Yorkshire member on here had a ZR1 which I passed once looked awesome.

Maybe it's because mine's in red, but I have been genuinely shocked at how many think it's a Ferrari, I know they are very rare here but I still thought most would know what a Corvette is.
