I'm sure I saw an Aston DB2/4 at some point last week. Followed a nice 993 down from near Latchingdon past SWF this morning.

A Mclaren Senna near the Hatfield Peveral A12 Turning on Sunday

Made me do a double take that's for sure.

Good spot that Senna Mc - never seen one of those.

Willys Jeep on a low-loader on the A12 passing Chelmsford earlier today.

I found myself thinking, if that was a Mclaren F1 I would be wooping!!!

But as it was I though, oh, unusual, but UGLY and of questionable taste were my thoughts.

Seen a Mc F1 on the road - blasted past me years ago on the A414 into Chelmsford. It was the Essex based one that was destroyed in a nasty crash sometime later.

Be interested to see a Senna though.

Very ouch. The owner was very nice though, even when his car was held for months before it could go to McLaren.

Saw a Clio Trophy this morning at the Sainsbury's roundabout in SWF, and was more excited about that than the McLaren 570 on the A130. Also saw a drop head XK150 (roof down) at the half roundabout on the A127.

Saw a light grey 488 on Thursday evening. Saw this Huracan driving like a tosser in the wet yesterday, and also this racing Elise was nice to see.

Edited to add - forgot I saw a black Aventador broken down in the rain on the side of the A127 on Thursday evening.

Wonder if that was the same 488 that I saw on Thurs in Braintree?

Only a Triumph Stag locally, in Highwood, outskirts of Chelmsford earlier.

Saw an Alfa 4C (coupe) on the M25 passing Clacket Lane services yesterday morning - forgot how good they look, only the second one I've seen on the road.

Two Lambo's: white Gallardo & a green Huracan, and a black Ferrari Cali, all in central Chelmsford so far today.

For balance & rarity, just remembered I also saw Granada Scorpio Estate earlier today, also in Chelmsford - looked good.

A couple of E46 M3's on the A21 southbound a little after midday yesterday - both looked set up for the track and one with a distinctive loony numberplate - looked great!

Less great was the police hiding on an on-ramp near Tonbridge with a gun on a tripod when I was heading back just after 7pm....lets hope they were only just setting up as i was at the very top end of FPN territory!

No photo as I was driving and it was dark but tonight I spotted a fantastic looking (assume replica) GT40 heading into Maidstone on the A26, Gulf livery and sounding fantastic! cool

I did wonder.

I saw a dark blue Alpine on the A12 on Friday afternoon/early evening. Seen plenty of other stuff, but as usual, can't remember it (other than the Citroen 2CV with the top rolled back shortly after it stopped raining near Danbury yesterday before midday!

Saw what looked to be a road going rally version of a Skoda Fabia in between the A130 and SWF both last night and this morning.
