A few spots from the last week or so. The SVJ passing the prison,


The loon AMG GTR,


Mr GE with the new 911 convertible in a quite noticeable colour,


Then today was treated to the new Toyota Supra, driver noticed me photographing so gave it a bootful for me, sounds amazing,


Then finally, a red Ferrari (been waiting 5 years to photograph a red Ferrari in Swansea lol), the new Portofino


3 others include the black 2 ROW 458 Italia passing my flat in the marina a few times, the blue 600LT coming out of the Brentacre car park, might explain the lack of the 675LT Spyder showing up, and the 'BUT' GT2RS a couple of times.

Pontyberem way about 11am this morning, something I've never seen before. When it came towards me it reminded me of a Delorean from the front, but it was red and obviously not one. Saw the front badge said Isuzu, so I Googled coupe Isuzu, and found out it was called an Isuzu Impulse. Quite a cool looking thing, anyone ever heard of it before?


That was the one that got the “handling by Litus” treatment I think. In return Lotus got the Isuzu turbo engine to put in the Fwd Elan.

Was the Tesla the white model X?

Maybe he thought you wanted to play!

Did it have a plate the says TSLA in some fashion? If so, I was behind it on Sunday on the road from A470 (by resevoir) to Penderyn. When we got down to the roundabout and joined the A465 he accelerated off (relatively quickly I was in my MX5 NC 2.0 and pinned it in 3rd and it was pulling away a bit, I expected it to pull a lot more, so think he wasn't trying) went to pass someone, got in the outside lane and slammed the brakes on. Dipped back in behind and braked again and pulled into a layby.

Very peculiar driving. It was a p100d if that helps.

Quite a busy day Swansea had today. Started with Swanseaboydan in the Cali, thanks for saying hello in the only way I understand!


DBS Superleggera Volante by the Morgan Hotel


Porsche 911 GT3 passing Tesco


Porsche 911 Turbo near the Morgan Hotel


McLaren 570S Spyder passing the Morgan Hotel later on,


Last photo of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage S driving past mine


On top of those, a yellow new shape Audi R8, the 2ROW Ferrari 458 Italia, an orange McLaren 570S Coupe and Mr Esfahani's Lamborghini Urus blasting into the Sainsburys petrol station, the V8 sounded sweet as a nut

took the car around Brecon yesterday for a good blast. Few nice spots, one of which was a DB11 parked in Morison's car park in Brecon where we stopped for food in Wetherspoons. It had 'PH' on the small print on the plate but that might not be a pistonhead reference lol.

a white escort XR3 or RS Turbo passed me in Brecon town too.. Looked brill.

Harsh! I wave at anything kit-carish or old - and especially people who let me past!

There's an Aston Martin Vantage GT8 in the Bridgend area so could be the same one. Looks amazing.
