Had a good look at the bright blue Audi R8 in Porthcawl today, it's a V10 and has a lucky female driver.

A black Porsche Taycan in Cardiff Bay, must be one of the first in Wales.

This was a few days ago but the pretty small car park of Waitrose in Pontprennau had a fairly impressive selection: V8 Vantage, Continental GT, Masterati Levante, M4 and 3 Cayennes.

Probably the same one as I followed along Ocean Way a few days ago. He drove into Vanguard Way, which I think is mainly offices etc, so may work there somewhere.

There are a few about, a white 4s in Porthcawl as of about two weeks ago a black Turbo S to the west of Swansea are two I know off. Both owners are very impressed with how the cars drive and perform. They are both serious petrol heads and are shocked how quickly they have been switched to the jiys of electric.

Red F430 Spider heading east on M4 near Tredegar House this afternoon.

Not long afterward a Ferrari 250/275 heading in the same direction near Cardiff Gate - couldn't get a good look but perhaps a replica.

Black customized Ford Capri in Brackla, looking like it had come from the 70s/80s, similar period red old style Pontiac (I think) in Ewenny, red Audi RS3 Sportback in Ewenny, the Aston Martin Vantage GT8.

Saw an 80s type red Audi Quattro on the A48 on the weekend.

I think that RS3 is the one that had been to performance engineering in Cardiff. Sounds pretty good

There was a loud bang from the RS3 exhaust as it went past so I was wondering if it had been tweaked.

Sounds like it. The car looks nice to be fair, I’m just not personally a fan of pop and bang maps

Two car transporters on M4 by Port Talbot going east around 10:40am. Had a quick look and think there was a mk2 Focus RS, E46 M3, 911 2.4, 993 911, 356, Ferrari 328, 996 911, 911 speedster (3.2 1989).

So someone who likes Porsches moving house? Anyone know anything?

Edit - https://silverstoneauctions.com/events/2020-auctio...

The speedster plate matches the one in this auction and a few of the other porsche look right. Haven't checked all the plates yet.

Amazing collection being sold off. I have seen some of the cars in person and they are stunning.

This Capri, if so, the owner is well known in Capri circles, especially for 280 Brooklands Capri's, he told me he had owned about 25 of them. And he lives about half a mile from you!

I assume it's the guy who had the Wynns Capri. The black car looked clean and sounded very nice. It was very typical of a 70s/80s customization.
