Hi guys, I'm new here..........from Cowbridge.

Anyway, down the road from me is a Ferrari F40 and a Jag XJ220!

I work in the centre of Cardiff and regularly see plenty of exotic cars........there's some dude in a F430 Spider who seems to spend all day cruising around the city centre (reg 15AW )

Yes Mr Williams is well known and revilled in Cardiff. I doubt any of the Ferrari's he has owned have been out of 2nd gear.

IIRC prosecuted once for due care through wheelspinning in Cardiff City Centre a fair few years ago in a Ferrari. Advanced a ludicrous defence of a sharp clutch. Duly acquitted through judicious use of a very expensive QC in the Magistrates Court. Easily impressed, the Magistrates.....

Could you not have just prosecuted him for being a to$$er?

I doubt George Carman would have been able to get him off that one.

Was in TGI Fridays on Newport road yesterday and a dark grey Maserati Quattroporte pulled up to the main door and parted up for about 15 mins....anyone on here...must say it looked stunning. IMHO def the best looking big 4 door exec and they seem to be holding their value better then any Maser over the last 20 years....I want one very badly.

That would be Mr Duncan Barber.........His company deals with the maintainance scaffolding for British Airways.

He has a garage in the vale that can only be described as a carpeted aircraft hanger in which he stores his collection of Ferrari's and Porsches and a few other exotics also......the Father-in-law has been lucky enough to have seen this collection and has said it is truly amazing to see so many desirable cars in one place belonging to one person...

He has also recently taken delivery of an F430 and it has been placed in his rather large office so that he can look at it all day long........

That's the chap! He lives about 2 miles down the road from me. It's great to sit listening to the engine/exhaust of whatever car he is in as he goes up the hill behind our house.

Whoever was in the red 512 TR heading west just passed the Coldra roundabout today made my day. Just managed to get the window down in time !! Sounded awesome, even from the other side of the M4. First TR I've seen on the road in years. cloud9

Almost forgot the BRG Noble in the KFC drive through as I was driving down Maesglas Retail Park.
Anyone on here ?
