In the last 3 days I've spotted in Cardiff centre alone:

- A Ferrari Modena Spyder in dark blue parked roof-down right outside Howells in the taxi rank . Number plate ADR14N (or something like that).

- 2 Ferrari 355 spyders, one in Rossa Corsa, the other dark blue.

- 2 Bentley GT coupe's. One in Silver, one in dark blue.

- A Bentley Arnage Red Label in (you guessed it) dark blue, parked on St Andrews Crescent.

- A bright red Cerbera blasting down Boulevard De Nantes - snap, crackle and pop.

- A dark green Chimaera and a dark blue Griffith, both parked on St Andrews Crescent.

- 2 Maserati 4200 Convertible's. One bright yellow, one dark green (plate 222 AAA).

- A silver Aston Martin Vanquish and a grey DB7 Vantage.

Plus about 4 Elises, 2 Tuscans and a cool-as- E-type roadster.


All in all a good few days for car perverts around the city centre. Any belong to any PH'ers?

Some nice spots there Dick. One of the Elises could obviously have been me, or Steff.

I know 2 guys who have a Vanquish and a DB7 (one each not both) could be them.

Certainly lots more Ferrari's around now thanks to Dick Lovett's. Often wander in there on a weekend to have a drool.

More Ferraris sold/registered in Cardiff area than any other in the UK.

Surprising. I would have thought it would have been Maranello in Surrey or Stratstones in Wilmslow (looks like all the Premier Footballers have switched to Bentleys now though). I heard Dick Lovett's sold about 9 360's in the first week though.

I have seen a gunmetal grey Bentley GT in Rhiwbina and a silver DB9 driving around there as well.

Well I've seen the silver, blue and yellow Modenas. Very common...LOL.

My Corvette Z06 is used fairly infrequently but my mate should be importing his own red Z06 soon. Our American car club has a meeting every sceond and fourth Monday evening around 8 at Brewsters on Allensbank Road if anyone fancies bringing some flash cars down. Always willing to drool over someone else's exotica.

I saw a bright yellow Lamborghini Gallardo heading into Cardiff along North Road the other day. I have to say it didn't look much - a bit too angular for my liking, supercars need curves - but may have looked better had I had a chance to see it parked. It was just trundling through the 30mph speed camera so it wasn't exactly giving it large.
