Saw this little beauty darting through the outback of Romania (Craiova) a few days ago.
Looked brilliant!

This sounded and looked great, don't seem to see many about!

I see this kicking around Edinburgh quite often!

I came across this car which was accompanied by three Elises in a petrol station at Pitlochry a few weeks ago, fortunately I was also in my Elise at the time so stopped for a quick hello. (Much to the disgrace of the misses). I would have joined them for a jolly but she's not into that kind of thing. Should have just left her in the petrol station. There was a bus stop opposite.

Not sure if these are rarities, first I have seen for yonks

A Ferrari F430 F1 Spider, doing their weekly shop in Sainsburys.

I love reading and learning about something new; a fact, vignette, legend or myth that adds more colour than the fairly monochrome details of how much something costs, or how fast it is to 60mph. Or God forbid, the 'ring time. After a fantastic visit to Wolfsburg - The Place Beyond the Drömling Pines - I've spent as much time as feasible discovering as much as I can around VW's Nardo, W12 Concept. Ever since I'd first heard about it, lying across four seats in a lounge at Dallas/Fort Worth reading April 2002 'Road & Track', what "VW did next" has always fascinated me. Enough to almost make me miss my flight...

The line from this...


to this...

I thought the third rule was that they have to be in the wild

guess this is rare. Spotted on the a127 near Southend. Looked tiny next to the lorry, infact looked small compared to the smart car next to it.

Ah, but Tigerkoi's musings aren't spots as such. Just insightful stories and background into rare cars or stories behind cars he has seen or not seen.

Indeed but I still think this is a first

Gorgeous looking car the F430, much prefer it to the over styled 458.

Agreed. Didn't use to think it was up to much but it's grown on me whereas the 458 looks like it's trying so hard...

+0.5...I love them both!

i think it's amazing that every recent V8 'entry' ferrari that has come out has been lauded at the time, and then when the next one comes out people say "it's generally accepted that the previous one was crap, but THIS ONE is amazing". Why is that?

Only the 2nd one I've seen, 1st was in Rome earlier this year.

Generally being fickle? You're right though.

Personally I think the 355 and 360 are the lookers of the last few years. The 430 I hate the front end, and the 458 just looks far too fussy to me (not to mention ridiculously big wheels that spoil its side profile).

Here in Tokyo tonight...

Shinagawa?
Looks just like a hotel I was in recently!

The first tuned evoque I have seen

[giblet]

Spotted an Overfinch Range Rover the other day, the new shape. Didn't look that different from the regular RR.
