Guy ion the cossy was at least 75+ and the passenger who I would expect be his wife was looked like she was out the home for the day she looked that old.
Oh and he had no idea what lane to be in, he was all over the place.

Green with tan leather, looked stunning in the flesh!

It's Verde York you heathen 🙄. There was one at the show I went to last weekend but I was more attracted to the red one because I had a red one. Spotted a 16v in full livery at a show today. I got a bit sticky 😍.

Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture, but saw a Ford GT today. Never seen one in person before, looked a lot smaller than I’d expected. It was just like this:

Used to see a red one around Harborne pretty often. Think the guy lived in Sutton Coldfield, had a carrera gt iirc.

This one was out towards Wombourne at the end of the rabbit run. Not a million miles away so could have been the same one.

Went out for a quick drive across the tops and came across this.

Slightly scruffy 964 RS spotted in Norwich today. How much are these worth now?

I remember doing a trackday at Spa with a mate in his, still some of the best nose to tail laps, he sold it not long after when values wern't quite as mad

I was talking to a lad at a show the other week about the clio and he had been looking at punto supersports and a week later there one at another gathering. The stickers were a bit ott but the colour was really nice and I do like the look of them.

Genuinely didn’t know these existed. Looks quite cool tbf.

My first car was a Punto; albeit an S reg mk1 1.4. It was blue, plastic bumpers and absolutely shite. I loved it until I crashed it and it literally disintegrated.

No it’s a guy from over here, drives about in a shitty Micra 99% of the time, a mint ST focus the other 1% and this 0% apart from today 😂

I had a grande punto abarth with the 1.4 tjet engine like the 500 abarth. Standard 155bhp and esseesse models had 180bhp.
It was a good little car, quite cool and both the grande and the punto evo abarth are rare to find. Although mine was standard, it scraped on speed bumps sometimes. The biggest problems on them were the gearbox! They use the m32 gearbox like the vxr’s and they are made of cheese. Mine had to have the bearings replaced when I bought it.
The punto evo models like the one shown above had the 1.4 multiair engine and had a bit more power.
That one seems to have been resprayed or wrapped as that’s not an official colour.
