What colour is the Aventador?

C63 would be a good choice of car. Ooops!
The Aventador is white, with I think green accents and black wheels. Looks like a spaceship.

Yeah, I was looking at one for sale in Cardiff yesterday. I've checked insurance as well, it's not that much more than my 135. Tempting. But the cost of tyres and the amount of fuel and oil it will drink though!

I have a customer who had a similar looking car that would make trips like that on a low loader on a regular basis. Too regular for his liking

Smart Crossblade with both its arms raised parked by Pets At Home in Bridgend this afternoon. Grey Audi RS4 Avant in Porthcawl, and what looked like a black Bentley Flying Spur near Pyle. .

I’ve only had it a few months so if it becomes a regular occurrence I’ll be swapping it for something German . . Fingers crossed though as I do love it

At least it isn't the same car. he loved it but the ongoing issues were too much. He did the sensible thing and got a 458.

Red 991 GT3 on the M4 near j45 yesterday afternoon.

Yes I can understand that but if you want a hard top cruiser your options are limited - closet competitor I got to mine was an m6 cabriolet or a Porsche targa

I saw a lady putting up the hood on a newish targa yesterday, very slick and to be honest I think I would trust German engineering more than Italian long term for complicated things like roof mechanisms ! I love the targa - gorgeous car

No idea what the event was this afternoon, I passed a Mazda Rx7 Mk3 in dark green and an original Mini Cooper in pale green by the entrance to Margam Park at around 3pm. A few minutes later and there was a DB6 Volante & DB9 Volante heading towards me on the A48. a minute behind those was a Jag XKR-S convertible. Another DB6 at Pyle cross along with a Jag XJS convertible, Stag, 90's Merc SL and Porsche 356, probably a replica. Some of the cars had decals on the front wings, but I couldn't read what they said.

Nearly forgot about the red Series II Elise filling up at Shell in Sketty.

It was being driven quite purposefully from the Castell Mynach to the M4 and back again Sat afternoon . Don't like the Redneck stripes very much !

A group of mainly Lotus cars in Bridgend at 8.00am heading in the direction of Llandow on the A48, headed by a red Esprit and at the rear a black Evora Sport 410 driven by a female.

Ten minutes later, a red Gilbern Invader with a black soft-top also in Bridgend heading towards Pencoed.

A nice green Bentley in my work car park yesterday morning, we had some nice clients in! Once I figure out how to shrink an image on my phone I’ll upload that and the aventador
