its getting to that time of year

[chilistrucker]

beings i drive trucks for a living, i obviously spend most of my time on the road, both here and in europe.
i bloody hate winter, and each year there comes a day, when i spot stuff on the roads to make me think, great, its car season
today was that day
i was on my way back from cardiff to essex, and spotted some lovely motors on the roads, as a self confessed car nut, i do like april to september the most
special mention to the ferrari spider on the m4, with reg no:-f430 fer, and a yellow boxster with "lou" on the plate. stunning interior
we do get a good view from up in a wagon.

i dunno, i'm not sure i approve of garage queens. i prefer a dirty tvr covered in december road salt to a shiny fezza that spends half its life in a dark room

agreed, i appreciate seeing decent machinery all year round, but a def upturn when it gets to this time of year.

There was loads of nice stuff around last month when it was unseasonably warm. A hell of a lot more motorbikes too, but they disappeared once it started raining again

Opportunities for a mounted camera, and the associated thread?

a) there's a SLIGHT value difference between let's say a 5k Chimaera and a F430 Spider so I guess it makes sense that the attitude to the winter wear is also different
b) even if there wouldn't be, how do you know people don't just choose the appropriate car for conditions? I drive the X5 most of the winter because it's just better for the job, when my fun cars get more use in summer
