Sweet. Looked outrageous back in the day, now looks humble.

Sunday is the main day all the cars come out.

www.supercarsunday.com always worth a visit, nice mix of cars and amazing canyons to drive through afterwards. http://www.malibucarsandcoffee.com A smaller meet but a decent bunch of petrolheads and some very interesting kit turns up. If you can get out to Newcombe Ranch up on Angeles Crest there will be various groups pulling in for breakfast/lunch alongside the bikers.

Perfect weather, amazing roads, genuine enthusiasts EVERYWHERE. Tough to beat.

Thanks for this tip, went to Supercars Sunday this morning and had a great time. Also went for a drive over to Malibu and down the coastal road afterwards and spotted plenty of lovely things.

For some reason, i really like the look of that murdered out Corvette...

On a closer look at the plate, it appears to be owned by a police officer!

One of 2 Chirons in Cannes at the moment with one of the many Rolls SUBs for size comparison.

This Lamborghini went down the street where I was staying. It was so loud that all the shutters opened as people were leaning out of the windows to see what it was. That’s after all the other exotics were ignored.

Hi there,

A few from me during my trip to London yesterday

First up heard it before I saw it but was on the wrong side of the road so excuse the rubbish image. Koenigsegg Agera R



Then one of only 24 Aston Martin DBS '59 Edition'.



A rather nicely specced Aventador SVJ leaving The Dorchester



Then this was a surprise and Aston Martin DB6 just parked up lovely gorgeous in the sun





Lastly a car I have been hoping to see up close for many months. A very rare Lagonda Taraf







Regards

Tim

Lagonda have produced some beautiful cars but that!

[Fun Bus]

£900K and rarer than a rare thing!

Doesn't look a penny of £90k, looks like a slightly angular Rapide.

I think they were $900k - more like £680k. Only 120 built in the end and most (if not all) were destined for the UAE so ultra rare spot.

Whilst it's drop dead gorgeous on the outside, for a million dollars you'd expect a bit more effort inside. Seems like they spent all the budget on the bodywork and then cut 'n pasted the interior, before phoning up a lapdancing club in Sheffield for some tips on decor.

that second shot just looks like DB9 with extended leather pack and gash wood selection.

Interior is a bit "Chinese/Arabic new money idea of luxury"

The rear is, ummm, a bit 'busy', isn't it?

At the risk of repeating myself again. Those Aston steering wheels

I was staying in Beverly Hills and there are Dawns, Cullinans, Bentagya and Urus everywhere. But less classics than I thought there might be.

Are classic (vintage) cars easy to own in California? I have no idea other than their eco laws are pretty strong....

Not sure, so you may have identified the reason...

But I somehow expected there to be more classics about.

Jay Leno seems to manage OK

Never liked them, they date back to 2004 or 2005 so you'd think they'd have done something different for a $900k limited model.

Instead they went to the parts bin and added some tan leather dye.

At auctions for classic cars they will let you know if it can be driven in California.

At this level I am sure that the client is specifying exactly what he/she wants in the car, I am sure Aston would happily install another of their steering wheels if this one doesn't suit your taste or maybe trim it in a different style than the one pictured!

From the terrace of our hotel in Cascais last week, always liked these.
