Lovely looking and sounding silver or light blue R34 Nissan Skyline going by Linton petrol station when I was filling up (again!), and then again further down the road towards Maidstone where we exchanged a knowing and appreciative nod to each other. thumbup
I was in the black Monaro.

Nice sounding red Esprit S3 (4?) on the outskirts of Edenbridge at midday. Sounded like a fruity exhaust !!

Couple of early Mustang's & several Citroen H vans at an industrial unit in Witham earlier today, followed by a silver Porsche 924 (think that these are looking better the older they get) nearby and a white TR7 on the High Street - also looked good.

Saw him a couple of days ago so must be local.

Saw a Tuscan too this morning in Orpington.

That was me! Dad and I were making the most of the sunny weather so went for a blast with the roof off driving

Funnily enough, I recognised your car as we were leaving the petrol station back at the roundabout. We'd actually turned around and gone back, because I spotted this in there....




Did you spot the Ferrari 512 BB and Alfa SZ a couple of cars behind you? They were stunning. Amazingly, about 5 mins later I spotted a Jaguar XKSS on the M25!

Awesome! wavey No, I missed those two, must have snuck out of a turning somewhere behind me. There can't be many Alfa SZ's about, I had a play with one on the way home from a local meet a little while back. If it was red it may have been the same one!

That DB5 is a brilliant spot!

I was on my way to Brands Hatch, which I saw a DB11 V12. First I've seen "in the wild" - wasn't out on track though.

Yesterday afternoon I saw a BRG D Type...may have been a kit car, sorry if not. May also have been an entirely different Jag...sorry again. I bloody hope it was a Jag. Heading towards Battlesbridge.

This afternoon I saw a lovely early six series Alpina, in the main car park for the Battlesbridge antique/junk shops. I also saw a very nice Laguna Seca E46 M3 driving away from the Army & Navy roundabout on Princess Road. Such a good colour.

I was in a grey S2000 with bronze wheels. smile

Yesterday morning I was sat on the A12 during rush hour as usual.
It was made slightly more bearable by the black F430 (I think) Spider which I got to stare at & listen to between colchester & kelvedon.
What a lovely noise.

Few yesterday on my way to & from Southend: black Ferrari California coming off the A127 towards the A130 - sounded great.

Blue El Camino at the same junction, passing under the A127.

Primer Jag MKII on the back of a low-loader on the A130 & finally an Aston - maybe a Rapide, also on the A130.

Hey Nick - On that day, no. We went to the Woodman for lunch and went via the M25/A21.

However, I was out for a little blat yesterday and did go through Westerham, but not past the Grasshopper.

Just seen a black Ford GT40 around Lingfield way. Had period black/silver reg plates.

Not an original surely ?

Black Testarossa ('80's) & a Ultima GTR outside Woodham Mortimer in Maldon earlier.

Miles off patch but it's interesting to me; this MKIII Cortina Estate parked on Hatfields in SE1 yesterday afternoon - on a "Y" must be quite a late one.



Edited to add...

Just noticed this photo on my phone that I don't think I've previously posted. Citroen DS on Christmas Eve 2018 on the front in Frinton on Sea:
