SPOTTED THREAD

Bumper day today. Black DBS on the M4 Eastbound and dark silver DB9 on the M40 southbound.
As well as seeing two Aston Martins I also saw my first Cygnet - also on the M4. It looks like someone covered an iQ in glue and got a blind man to drive it round Aston Martin's parts department. They also, in a valiant effort to make it look even more odd, painted it in a weird yellow/green colour. I suspect it's Reading's demonstrator. I can't imagine anyone had actually bought it.

Right!!
Just got back from the Continent: 1,942 miles at 22.7mpg at an average speed of 48mph. Fuel: more expensive in France and Germany than Blighty ...but WAY cheaper in Luxembourg!
Route: Buckingham Palace - Canterbury - Bruges - Koblenz - Wurzburg - Fussen - Badenbaden - Luxembourg - Gosnay - Home
Spotteds:
- Sat July 30th - light/mid blue V8V in Austria. Near the German/Austria border - we were heading fr the Zugspitze, late morning
- Mon Aug 1st - 2 - a V8V followed by a Rapide, both in Luxembourg (city). Both silver/grey...I got a better look at the Rapide and it looked meteorite to me
- Today - Reading Services at 1.00pm. Light blue DB9 parked in front of us. Reg __54 KEV (I think it looked like 'Yes 4 Kev' from memory). Chap exchanged polite waves at us
And that was it!! In the best part of 2 weeks
Saw at least 5-6 Ferrari's in London alone (common ... ) and quite a few muscle cars on the Continent (Mustangs, Pontiacs, etc) as well as plenty of Masers and Ferrari's.
Car is minging and will be getting a bath tomorrow
Now for some decent bitter
cheers
