For those who live near Marlow I thought this might be of some interest. The past 6 months I've lived and worked in Marlow and am staggered by the amount of awesome cars I see on a regular basis, especially as it's such a small town. I've just started to try and capture them on my camera phone and thought I'd share my findings. It's getting updated regularly smile

I've always thought this too, stand still in the High Street on a Saturday morning and there certainly seems like a surprisingly high level of expensive metal being driven around.

Its a really desirable part of the world though, the Chilterns around Marlow/Henley is where I'd find somehwere to live when the Euromillions comes in. There's a good bit of money already there, as you can tell by the cars!

I love Marlow for car spotting, some great supercars and quite often a rare 'modern' classic too, remember seeing a mint original VW Scirroco a few months back.

How much eek considering you can pick up a 8 year old Bentley Arnage for about 25K how on earth does this chap expect to get 225K for a 21 year old car that wasn't that much difference in the new cost.

Whom ever pays anymore than £3.38 for this shockingly ugly truck needs certifying. £225k for a vehicle that has not one correct line...barking mad...this has nothing to do with beauty in the eye of the beholder;it's a st looking mobile gin palace. There are three questions that need answering 1. who penned this fk ugly thing, 2. who in their right mind paid for it, and 3. WHY?

Maybe the ebay seller has put the decimal point in the wrong place...and should read £2.25. I'd pay £2.25 for the thing and then strip it for spares keeping chassis, engine, and running gear to make a 'proper' special. The remainder can be sold for scrap value. Completely mindless clucking-bugly thing vomit

So... It's hard to tell but reading between the lines, I get the impression that you don't like it. hehe
