An Impreza 22B on Bowerhill industrial estate in Melksham In the rain on Saturday lunchtime. No number plates oddly.
No pic unfortunately.

What a noise

Quite.

Can't decide if I prefer that or the new T.50.

...either way I've now realised I NEED a V12 in my life. Not quite sure how the wife and kids are going to react* to that, but it has to happen.

* When I sell them.

[Longy00000]

Made that decision myself a year ago. Everyone needs a V12 in their life at least once.
Super smooth, super noise and super power what more can anyone ask.

In the case of the 296 you're right.

...but it doesn't stop it looking st.

See, I think the 296 looks incredible in the metal, and you can really see the 1960s influences and departure from recent, more angular, Ferrari styling.

To each his own, I guess!

I was more referring to the shoulder intake rather than the car as a whole. Parts of the 296 work very well (front-end, haunches from 3/4, buttresses as a nod to prior 8-cyl Ferraris).

There are ways of doing it well - Lamborghini usually make it work, albeit often in a rather brash way (Gallado excepted), 720S is to me a very clever and stylish alternative, but it does make the car wider. 488 is especially egregious (see also Huayra and LFA for fails). The old 308 style is pretty cool, if we're looking for Ferrari inspiration.

A gathering of the Clans at Chieveley Services right now.

Not singly but in battalions.



Off to the New Forest for a gathering, apparently. A marvellous sight on the A34 that will be.

Anyone able to give anymore information on this?

Appears to be a Ferrari 750 Monza, but I have no idea if it's genuine, and can't find anything on this car on google.

Seen in Sandbanks today.

A couple from Hong Kong last week.

I saw that at Combermere too.

I was amazed by just how wide it was. It was nice, but give me the DB5 any day!

I sometimes venture into London just to spend the day looking at nice cars :-) Was nice to see this in a sea of SUVs.

That’s a very well used car, it’s done a lot of road trips!

Lovely. You need to be careful posting that one mind, the numberplate enforcers will be along shortly.

Up that London yesterday in a dead handy underground car park behind the Coliseum.
