Could have waited and asked him/her followed by why are you parked like a c**t

Followed a Lotus Carlton on my way to work for a bit this morning. Still such a great looking car.

Took the missus car to for the Mot and saw one of these looked like a beast

I saw a silver T Reg Toyota Starlet Glanza the other day, front bumper cut open with a big intercooler sitting there etc. I still like the look of them, I reckon they'd be a hoot to drive!

Oh and because there isn't a Boats Spotted thread I'll stick this beauty in here. Turned up in Barcelona, belongs to some British billionaire apparently.

Saw this in the wild last year before it wound up here...

The owner was a really nice American guy; didn't even ask him but he gladly gave us a taste of that flat plane crank V8 - sounded epic!

 

[Stay Puft]

This was at the gym earlier.. love the colour and sounded amazing. I think he's upgraded from a big engined merc (cant remember what it was)

I thought the Seat version of the Panda was called the Marbella?

Funnily enough, I saw a silver one of these also in Tesco car park. Really like them!

Haha I had thought the same, but I felt conspicuous enough standing in middle of the lane taking pictures & didn't want to hang around!

I didn't even know they existed till I saw this one. Big fan of the exhaust and half and half front grill.

Sadly no pictures as it was on an MOD site, but this;

http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/07/mini-quattro/
(since the Speedhunters article, it's been amped up a little more. Straight 5, 800+hp. I was covering a mile long course in 75 seconds in the MX5, he was covering it in 62!

His dad has a Metro 6R4 in Rothmans livery too.

 

[cat171]

Saw a bright yellow Mazda RX7 on Friday with some sort body kit on it. And yesterday I saw a blue P reg, Nissan Skyline R34 wagon. It looked at a bit ropey, but rare all the same.

 

[Mr R.]

This GT3 parked up outside the manor house the wife and I had lunch at yesterday.

 

[Stevef175]

Spotted this beautiful motor a few days ago in town. Absolutely stunning..

I love Porsches, but when you see a GT3 or something like that you know they're driving something extra special

 

[Advikaz]

Didn't manage to get a picture but I saw a detomaso pantera on the road last week, awesome cars

 

[Stay Puft]

Just saw this outside a local mechanics..

 

[Owen]

Just off Great Portland Street in London (apologies for crap pics, was stood in the road).

What is it ? It's not an actual Dino ? They weren't made in 1988.

 

[cat171]

I saw a DB11 last night, 17 reg, dunno if he had the 'kitchen work surface' interior though as it was driving.

 

[OHEG80]

The Vantage is alright too I guess [emoji3]

That's not a 1988 plate.
Think it's a ground up kit car to look like one.

 

[Owen]

@cat171 Didn't even clock the number plate tbh. Weirdly this is what DVLA says:

 

[Short Norman]

kit car then?

[Herr Flick]

It's just a proper decent kit car.

 

[Owen]

Good find on the advert - replica didn't even cross my mind given where it was parked.

I bet he's got a fake Rolex too :tonguewink: (sorry replica).

It is, 1988 would have been F reg, and be too new for a Dino.

 

[cat171]

It's a s**t hot replica, but this line from the ad made me laugh "THIS WOULD FOOL THE EVEN THE MOST TRAINED EYE INTO BELIEVING IT IS THE REAL THING "
Yeah apart from the reg! It's like when you see G reg Ferrari F355's :wink:

 

[Herr Flick]

It's not a 'F' reg you mong.

 

[cat171]

No, I know that. But a real one couldn't have a reg on it as new as that.

 

[mace¬]

Thats an old reg, a new F reg would have F999 XXX format wouldn't it?

 

[Short Norman]

Thats an old reg, a new F reg would have F999 XXX format wouldn't it?

no they came with one, two or three numbers.

strictly speaking it shouldn't be on black/sliver plates either as it's a 2012 car with a 1988 private plate.
The F reg plate is a private plate (1988 prefix plate) but makes it obvious it's a replica as a 1960-1970 car couldn't legally have that plate on.

my wife has a 1991 J reg private plate with only one number similar to that on the
Dino.
