Saw my first GR Yaris in the metal this afternoon on Epping High St. Lovely, mean-looking little thing! About 30 seconds later I saw a Unimog going the other way down the road. Not sure which I'd want more tbh.

I saw one in the Chelmsford dealer (the only reason I went there), and its more compact than I thought it would be. Really nice sales guy had a chat about it, and said he'd ordered one to replace an M4. Very tempted to have a test drive.

Pls report back & tell me that they are terrible & I won't be missing anything

I had a look at the Yaris from the outside and came to the same conclusion, it really is rather small in there!

On another note, spotted on a local walk, obviously wanted to add “downforce” and weight! Must have some good gas struts on that boot!!

Forgot to put this in here - was collecting some beers from the Leigh-on-Sea Brewery in Progress Road on Friday and this was being stored there.

I’m really not sure what BMW were thinking with it TBH.

[TCEvo]

Pass the eye bleach.

[pincher]

Quite.

[lukeharding]

A black Urus on the M25 an hour or so ago.

Oh, and this.

Just outside kent last nignt. Forest hill , a V plate 1980 colt sapporo coupe in metallic green.
Very cool.

[TCEvo]

That Colt must be a proper rarity.

Few for me: Elsenham this pm & a red mid-'80's 911 Targa and a black Huracan. Yellow Triumph Herald in Writtle a little earlier.

Triple Aston's: DB7 in central Chelmsford, DB11 on the A120 passing Braintree, both am; another DB11 on the A414 heading towards Writtle pm.

Finally & a very noisy Peterbilt/Kenworth style classic US flat front truck in Braintree.

Been a long time since one of those was on this estate!

[lukeharding]

Lots today, mostly on the A127.

An A110
2 x AM Vantages (last gen)
A DB11
A 911 GT3


And this....

[TCEvo]

Comes up as a '58 Porsche via DVLA so presumably a real one?

Yep thats what I thought!

Also saw a blue Triumph Stag in the same spot yesterday afternoon.

[lukeharding]

Also, saw a nice Pagoda SL on the A127 today, and a red Alfa GTV (modern one) near Brentwood.

[TCEvo]

Daily Lambo (black Huracan) followed by a Jenson Interceptor in central Chelmsford, mid-pm & a rough looking Citroen XM Estate on a drive in Woodham Walter this am - can't remember last time I saw an XM Estate.

[TCEvo]

Blue Morris Minor cabriolet on Waterhouse Lane, Chelmsford early pm today.

Performante Spyder with the hood down? Private plate?

Black with a wing & plate so assume so.

Early red LHD 911 (or maybe a 912) passing Chelmsford College this pm, shortly followed by a brown MG Midget.

Yesterday (friday 26th) lunch time I saw an immaculate looking red Mk2 Escort at Linton crossroads in Maidstone, a red Ferrari 308 GTS on the A20 at Bearsted and a blue Jaguar E-Type V12 and a black Ferrari 355 Spyder near Leeds village.

And a white Mk2 Escort with forest arches and a roll cage in Boughton Monchelsea this afternoon.

The good weather seems to be bringing out the interesting old cars.

[lukeharding]

A DB11 turning onto the B186 today. Saw a big '40s/'50s American coupe out near Bradwell yesterday, and a classic mini, and there is a Celica GT4 parked up at the garage there.
