Working overnight setting up a conference at a hotel in Mayfair London and this is outside.





I've no idea what Ferrari it is and I'm also thinking hmmmmm.......not my cup of tea.

Looks ok,in daylight.

Spotted an E type earlier whilst out for a drive, stunning in the flesh. I Managed to get some pictures on my phone although not great ones. Will post them up tomorrow.

Talking of Jags I spotted this a week or so back, new micra type?
The interior really stood out, class and style, real wood everywhere...

"class and style".....you are being ironic, right?

The camera codes the pic with the rotation. The thumbsnap and some other software doesn't read the code. IPhones code it differently so the problem is even more prevalent with iPhone pics.

Plus you take pics of people etc portrait, hence the name, so the issue isn't the photographer.

I posted a phone photo on here that I'd had to take in portrait to get all the shot in. When I got home I tried to correct it by using Windows Snipping tool on a screen shot and saving the new rotated image. It's still the wrong way round on PH!! Flipping frustrating

Frustrates the crap out of me too, especially as it doesn't always do it, sometimes a way around it is to open the photo to edit it, don't do any editing and re-save, problem is for some reason the size of the photo then becomes too big to post; it posted the wrong way round ok, go into edit and don't actually edit it but then the file is too big, weird. This is with an Android phone.

Late '90s I watched Chris Eubank doing a three point turn in Kensington High St in this:

Has he still got that? It would have taken ages as the turning circle on that would be lousy. I'd probably be able to spin a unit and trailer in a tighter spot than that
(well if the DVLA get their arse in gear and give me a bloody answer.)

Someone in Woking has a similar truck, it's red and chrome, it's always parked up within the boundary of their house like it's on their drive, you can see it from the main Guildford to Woking road, I haven't a clue if they use it or its just there for show.

One of those would be very high up on a lottery win list for me

I haven't been for a few years now, but they did used to get a fair few turn up each year at Truckfest in Peterborough. Think one was called 'showtime' or similar, it had a double eagle sleeper and was bonkers.

If you're Ray Charles or David Blunkett perhaps.

I wonder how many man hours went in to painstakingly crafting that lump of walnut on the top of the dashboard.

I saw one of those today on my way home, in red though.

Can we stop quoting the pictures please? I thought the thread extending over onto a new page would mean I didn't have to see them again.

Know what you mean but without the visual quote the disconnect, and going back pages to find the original reference, makes the later postings pointless

Gotta be.

Shall we knock on the door and ask?

Out of interest, do you live in S'ford or work here?

I'll have a nose on Monday as I drive in from Worcester.

And now a 66 plate TTRS, that's some turn over...

[mattwhite709]

So as promised I came across this E type on Saturday night, first time I have seen one in real life and what a stunning car. Excuse the pictures I had the mrs and kids telling me I should hurry up before the owner comes out.








Was day dreaming about this the other day after buying my lotto ticket, never seen a GT3 RS in this color before.

That weird stretched Mk1 Granada estate thing has been on eBay two or three times, and I think it was parked in exactly the same place every time.

Would be amazing in a banger race...

That dark blue Iso Fidia is extremely rare, one of a handful of RHD cars. Strange but beguiling all the same.
