Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 7)

[JP78]

On Sunday these two cars pulled up as I walked along, the drivers were being asked a few questions by the police.

Your biggest colour based issue in those two pictures is the brake calipers of the Pagani???

The calipers match the interior, which matches the lower stripes. But does NOT match the Italian stripes and blue light surrounds.

Money does not buy taste...

Found a video that shows a large selection of the days top cars.....the couple of hundred mere ‘supercars’ don’t even get a mention
https://youtu.be/oyqWJxMcZRo

Firstly, thank you for the link.

But.

GGAAAAAAAHHHHH. It is exactly this kind of banal, thoughtless presenting that makes me so wary of content these days.

The repeated use of very poorly chosen and plain ignorant phrases made me watch the rest of it with the volume off. "What is going on here" - it's a car show you drove to. "This is getting out of hand" - no it isn't. It is happening exactly the way it is supposed to. Yes, as a car enthusiast, I would have been as excited as the presenter. However, I would have chosen my language differently. For example - iconic, exceptional, rare, individual, poster, legendary, special, unusual..... It's not that hard to paint a picture with words.

I was disappointed that not all cars in shot were commented on (was the SUV a Bowler?) - they had to have passed a criteria to be there, so why not mention it instead of ignore it?

Can't say I was a fan, except I can be seen standing about in the video a few times
The official SCD video is less offensive, and yes it was a Bowler, can be spotted barreling down the grass on the edge of the track

It was a great day, I had a riot blasting my LFA round the track, especially chasing down the XJ220 GTR/LM or whatever it was.

did you actually get to drive the cars properly ? all the footage shows them either posing staticly or driving at like 10mph

just watching the video made me frustrated as if I was there i'd be itching to drive my car properly

[Don1]

Yes, saw the Bowler having fun - I did chuckle. Some amazing machines there.

If you wanted to, yes. There were numerous 'normal' trackday sessions run throughout the day, although there weren't too many of the 'hypercars' on them, there was also passenger laps available to purchase in a whole range of exotica and racecars, and not forgetting the whole event was for a worthy local charity.

134mph on the long right hander up the hill, so yeah it was full on. I think my mate Jordan is posting the footage soon, we had some wicked battles with the XJ220, a 720S and the Carrara’s GT Zagato.

Bought with the proceeds of running a private Covid testing service.

A couple of years ago I posted a series of pics from a house around the corner where the owner was either a member of a supercar club, journo or had a serious habit. Well he's back with what I think is the press car? Looks frigging hideous in the flesh

Like the silver Porsche.
That’s it.

That's a factory car with the MCL on it.
New 765LT
Loved my two McLarens but not feel that at all

[Triple Six]

You can keep the 765, I'll take a 675LT please

Sorely tempting, but I think I'd take the Speciale instead.

There is a difference?
