Red Corvette Z06 seen leaving Canterbury heading towards Ashford this afternoon

[Dalto123]

Saw a silver AC Cobra (or maybe a replica) to morning just outside Keston. Looked and sounded fantastic, but the driver had the roof up very un PH!

Pearl white S2 Elise in Sittingbourne about 6pm, near the Iwade / Kemsley bypass roundabout, driven by a nice lady with a nice smile

Classic Alfa (not sure what, which is a little embarassing as I am an Italian car fan) in race livery, with a cage and left hooker at the Sittingbourne end of Faversham on the A2, either dark blue or dark green I think. Not long after 6

then a white R34 skyline at the M2 / A2 / A229 roundabout heading up to Faversham a few mintues after the Alfa

was quite a good evening last night, I had the roof off and nice cars were out!

Blue TVR Cerb parked on Moulsham St, Chelmsford opposite the fish & chip shop last night.

Black Lambo Aventador on Southend Seafront last Saturday. I am jealous it was awesome.

Loads of interesting stuff yesterday on my way down the A21 to the M25 from Bromley, Marcos of some description in front of me at one stage (Mk.1 Mondeo tail lamps gave it away and it wasn't a Noble!)

I havn't seen an LM400 around here for years.

Saw a totally mint white MK 1 Cortina pull out in front of me around a week ago in Biggin hill.
Must of been packing a mighty V8 as the sound was awesome!
Also been seeing in the Biggin hill area again a group of Astra VXR`s mostly driving in convo.
Last but not least again in the Biggin hill area a lovely looking Monaro,silver and sounds lovely.

silver 54 plate VW van with PH smiley in T.Wells this morning, I followed you into North Farm and gave a toot as I went straight on as you turned right.

[Dalto123]

Seen a fair few nice cars, but most notably the green Aston Martin DB7 Volante on the M25 this morning (Junction 4) towards the A21, with his roof down, sounded lovely, but wasn't giving it the beans sadly

Secondly was another Aston, but a V8 Vantage Roadster, on the M25 again near J4, but heading towards Dartford

Lastly, though its nothing rare (BMW Z4), I must commend the lady driving it at about 11pm last night with the roof down!

I read that they were actually very good but a bit niggly. Rowan A did a long term test for Evo I think. But of course they're British so are ripe for slagging irrespective...

The slagging was entirely deserved though. They gave Rowan Atkinson the car for 6 months I think it was - for 3 months every report he made was "I tried to drive it, but it broke. They fixed it, I got it back, drove it somewhere, it broke again, they picked it up, fixed it...." etc. He sent it back very quickly and it was rather brushed under the carpet as a feature.

They were great to look at as you said - however "niggly" was a bit of an understatement. That, combined with a ludicrous price tag for the performance (of the lower models) meant it was a disaster.

I think it was this Sunbeam Lotus (or else it was identical) going through Penshurst last night.



Straight after, saw a Morgan +4, a Spitfire and a couple of MX5s so I guess there was some sort event going on

[SimonV8ster]

Red Renault Alpine spotted (and heard) going through Chelsfield up to the M25 last Sunday - sounded really good !!

[steve2]

last Friday, the maclaren featured on PH going to the ring and a Delorean ( full Back to the Future jobbie )at the Channel tunnel

If the car had been made in Italy it would be called "character"
