Familiar view over a Jag's prow (usually minus Riley)- years ago I read a piece that Clarkson wrote about three pointing an XJ-S in a dark, cold London street; often think of that when manouvering my dads one.

Couple this evening - car meet outside one of the pubs in Margaretting, dark so only clocked a modded Anglia, Skyline, XK8/R and maybe an Aston.

Then followed a DB11 back into Chelms - they look cool from the back.

Saw a burgundy XJ-C this morning going past Mezcan toward Billericay and shortly thereafter a Sagaris (I think) going south on M25

Its one I love. They're great on narrow streets as well as they're only relatively narrow themselves.

a TVR Sagaris on the 127 on my way home last night, and then a yellow S2 Elise near Latchingdon.

This morning, an S2000 with a big wing leaving the A127 at Brentwood.

Red Honda NSX late yesterday afternoon on the A12 going past the Boreham interchange. It looked great, the simplicity of the design sets it apart.
Quite rare I guess, although there did use to be a green one on Potash Road, Billericay IIRC.
I saw plenty in Tokyo in the early 90's. Typically driven by women around town.

Spotted these yesterday. The Ford is a test mule which is the only reason I'm posting it. Looked like it would do alright off road.
