A guy brought a Saleen Mustang into work today for a recall to be done. I've never seen one in the USA never mind over here!

Bet that sounded well!

Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio this morning, seen a few of them now!

Saw one in North Wales in the middle of nowhere. In fact, saw a surprising number of expensive cars on the Llyn Peninsula.

Stunning. Deep pockets to run these days!

Running them is cheap-ish. Buying isn't now. I should have bought when I sold my first TVR, they were only £45k for a good one then. Even with spending £4k a year on it, I'd be £40k up....

Only 45k, bargain

I think F335's have always been be b****cks, one of my favourite ever Ferrari's!! I've never even been in one, but I've always liked them!

I just saw a dude by works met red 599 GTO, he'd been to some race or something as it had something written on the door. The plate on it must have cost a bit too, as it's one letter & one number.

I always liked the F355, right up until I sat in one. The interior is pretty shocking in my view.

Short Norman · Jul 26, 2017

Every time I see a 355 I think of Xenia Onatopp from bond.

Oh yeah they are pretty bad inside. Still would own one in a heartbeat though. I drove my mates for about 3 miles. Best 3 miles of my life lol

Best Ferrari. The Ferrari. Full stop.

Yep they did :smile: The writing was new though, I've seen his car many times before, but never with the writing on the door.

Spotted this in work carpark a couple of times last week, still not found out who owns it yet.

Buy I know bought a T350 9 years ago for £20k. He took it apart and rebuilt it properly at home and It's done 2000 miles since he bought it. As he was driving it into cars in the park the other month another tvr guy knocked on his window and offered him £35k for it! They are a rare sight nowadays, always a treat to see and hear one though.

Spotted a yellow metro 6R4 on a trailer on the M1 this afternoon. Such a mad little car.

cat171 · Jul 28, 2017

Yeah they're awesome!!! They sound mad too!!

Lots of Ferrari meets for 70th anniversary so probably something to do with that

Saw a red NSX on my way to work yesterday. Not very familiar with them but was the older shape I think. Quite a rare sight.

SCJM21 · Aug 2, 2017

Your usual stuff at Squires JDM last night, this Civic though!

Instantly recognisable, too! Moment you hear it you know a 6R4's on its way.

Stay Puft · Aug 2, 2017

This weird thing in my local high street... and the Porsche lives on my road, lovely car.

I saw this yesterday, it won't appeal to most of you, but I'd not see it before. Golf GTE Hybrid Eco Police Interceptor.

cat171 · Aug 3, 2017

Saw a grey 07 reg F430 convertible earlier, parked up with the roof down, dark red seats etc, perfect combo!

DannyR · Aug 3, 2017

I can't post pictures but went a customers on Monday, brand new DB11 and McLaren 650s. Unfortunately they were in the way and only the house keeper was there to let us in who didn't want to drive them.

Customer asked me over the phone if I wouldn't mind moving them myself... No, No, No that won't be a problem at all!

I will try and grab a photo when I can but someone near me has just bought a Jaguar Mk2. Looks a bit ropey at the moment so I assume he is going to be restoring it, looking forward to seeing the changes as I drive past!

I came across this today. So much want, just without the extra spots.
