I saw two different Mercedes SLS gullwings today; silver one on way to the dry cleaners and a blue one on way back from the tip.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw one.

Anyone else seen something quite rare and then seen another soon after ( car shows / museums don’t count!).

Timely thread; drove to work (in the Netherlands) last Friday and I saw 2x Saab 900 T-16s in mint condition 60km apart from one another; such cool looking things.

I saw two Z8s some distance apart, but both on my 15 mile drive to work one morning.

My wife and I left Winchester one day, and opted to take the more scenic A272/A32 route home. Approaching the bends at the Matterly Bowl, and a wonderful Porsche 356 comes the other way. One of our favourite cars. Anyway, not far behind, and before we got to the junction at the west Meon Hut, we must have passed over 50 more in convoy, all displaying a rally plaque on the front end.

10's (I stopped counting when I hit 60) of 718 Spyders last year in convoy driving past work.1 popped into the Shell garage opposite work for some air, I popped over to ask what was going on, it was the European Spyder club on their way to Goodwood (I think it was, my memory is a bit hazy) for a track day, they had all been staying at the hotel down the road.

I'll go with the theme above wink. I'm guessing that 'some distance' means between 'not touching and 15 miles'? getmecoat
