Big deal so an old car which has probably been hanging around and shunted about numerous times needed a battery pack to start - cars as young as 2 years which have been standing around often need battery packs.

A non event.

If it didn’t start due to a dead battery, it’d be classed as a non starter, not a non event.

No picture as I was driving and on other side of dual carriageway.

A27 earlier today (about 2ish) approaching Lyons Farm traffic lights in Worthing.

Red Maserati BiTurbo Spider (roof up).

Good bloody shout sir. So nice to see a 90s Wedge

Very possibly someone collecting this; https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1987-maserati-... considering the location.

Remember back in the day my Dad being loaned the Meridien demonstrator one of those from Lyndhurst for a weekend IIRC. Their demo reg was TOY 123 (or 123 TOY) and they were trying to tempt my Dad out of his pre-order for a Mercedes E320 convertible as at that stage Mercedes had taken the order based on only a rumour that Mercedes would build a 300CE (as the model was pre-E series) convertible. I wanted him to buy the Maserati but alas he didn't, kept the order for the Merc which was subsequently built and he still has in the garage to this day.

Ah, memories. As you were.

Awesome sleuthing! Could well be!

Still remember seeing a silver one of those years ago in the local Tesco's car park. There it was, all anonymous, minding its business, and then I come along all open-mouthed...

Could be due a parrot but what's so special about the Audi 80 other than there's probably not that many about these days, it doesn't appear to be an RS2

It’s the S2.

[Tony Starks]

Kind of cheating because my town has a whole American themed weekend for car lovers and on Friday evening the shut off a circuit through the high Street and they have a massive cruise around. And then on Saturday they shut off the high Street and all park up.







I have to admit, I never liked the Corvette in pictures. But in the flesh they are awesome looking cars.

And a couple of others:

According to the licence plate it has 755bhp

GTO - now that's rare!

Pretty much a supercar (or at the very least, Mitsubishi's answer to one) in it's day too, imo.

Had it been a manual 3000GT Twin Turbo I might have agreed with you, but an NA Auto GTO; no.

Someone here has 3 on their driveway, I always mean to get photos.

Finally went passed the house

Ironically, in the UK, there’s probably less RHD S2 Estate left than RHD RS2 Estate. Most were harvested for their engines/drivetrain in the early 2010’s.

Please correct your grammar. That actually made my teeth itch.

Please correct your hyperbole. It didn't.

Sorry "dotty" while that may be a super car, it never was and never will be a Supercar!

It's a Golf GTi in a posh frock.

It’s rare though, so meets the thread criteria

It’s not even that, is it? Scirocco GT was only carb-fed I think.

F8 Spider on the southbound M6 about 1430 today. I overtook him! I'll try and get a still from my camera.
