The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

I spotted one of these pace car reps the other day.

About 15 years ago there was an old guy who attended all the local meets in one. I've always loved the C3 stingray shape😍.

Pulled out of a work site on a dodgy blind bend and almost got t boned by an Aston DBR1, old boy driving it looked at me like I'd just pulled out his Mrs.

A reg check shows it as a ASM R1, some kind of rep I guess.

Damon Hill looks thrilled 🤣

He looked a bit happier when I grabbed him for a cheeky selfie 😂👍

Highlight of the day was 3 laps in the 911 with a driver who knew what he was doing. Chasing down a certain Mr Bruce in his Pagani and the son of the F1’s owner whilst both giving it some beans was pretty special.

The GT3RS is a weapon. So dialled in it will stay with me for a very long time.

Saw this nice little collection today...

Then this one round the corner!

This 60 odd year old turned up today with his wife today in this Skoda L & K 4x4.

I think he maybe colour blind but what does everyone else think 🤔

NickReilly063 · Sep 10, 2021

The appreciation definitely want to this Citroen C4 Loeb which was 2 spaces down and in stunning condition

Saw a Renault estefette van yesterday. Looked awesome and like a mini vw camper van.

Only a rubbish pic because I couldn’t get my phone out quick enough!

GT4 parked near me just to make my car look bad, not too sure not the colour.

That looks wrapped

This was absolutely mint, and looked completely standard. Awesome.

Saw an Alfa 147 GTA on the way home from work. Such a good looking car. Haven’t seen one on the road for well over a decade.

Weirdly i was looking at them on Pistonheads, theres ones up for 20k, i hadn’t realised you could get them in auto as well.

Went to Fitted UK on Sunday and finally saw Phil Morrisons GT1 Lambo. Absolutely Ridiculous.

FatRS · Sep 14, 2021

Saw one of these drive past me on the school run this morning.
71 plate (first 71 I’ve seen) in this blue.
I wonder if it belongs to Peter Saywell who lives round the corner?

I saw one in a bump on the A1 on Saturday. Looked like it had been hit both front and back.

Posted it in the TIDL thread

Jay Kay in his 275 GTS last weekend at JZM C&C - not sure it gets much cooler

Not sure why and maybe I'm doing the bloke a disservice - but JK always strikes me as being a monumental c**k. The fact that he has any passion for cars is perhaps his only redeeming quality.

Hopefully I'm completely wrong on that.

Didn't he get twatted by a photographer a few years ago for being a c**k?

Not sure what hes like personally, but seemed to walk round look at cars and have a fag on most the morning whilst talking to anyone who approached him. Seemed pretty down to earth and friendly, not talking from experience but seems most photographers are nosey b******s waiting to sell a story.

from memory I think the photographer scratched his car with his camera (they were on some trendy street in London that was busy with celeb's), then it all kicked off.

My wheels are knackered, I'd love a mint sent to make it better!

Lots of E-type derivatives, setting sun, and a spitfire dog-fight going on overhead 😁
