Top one’s a Bristol isn’t it?

 

[Scrooge]

I think so

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Few recent ones for me:

Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta:

Porsche 968 convertible:

Old school Land Cruiser:

 

[R3k1355]

Have to admit it took till the third numberplate for me to realise they're dual-language.

I genuinely thought the Ferrari plate had 3 palm trees or something on the top line for decoration.

 

[WillR26]

Spots from a couple months ago back in amsterdam. Poor quality on the last one was in amsterdam so you can guess why my camera skills were so shite.

 

[TC.]

Proper rare spot for over here, been in England 5 times from August and seen a 1*2 or multiple each time, this is first I’ve seen one here in years.

 

[DaveDreads]

I thought 53 plates were 182's?

 

[Matt Cup]

Nope, 172’s went up to 04 plate and there may be a few late registration 54 plates too. Early 182’s are 04’s.

 

[Matt Cup]

Oh there were some early 53 plate press release 182’s too.

 

[DaveDreads]

I think there's at least a year's crossover where you could buy either, probably longer if first registration is a year or two since it was built.

This sounded absolutely mental

How much for an ounce?

 

[Short Norman]

How much for an ounce?

Probably more than it was in 2004

Or maybe it’s less now, I’ve not kept track of the recent market fluctuations 😂

If it’s anything like the cocaine market then it’s cheaper now that it was in the 90’s/00’s

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah coke got cheaper and weed got dearer, f*cking backwards world.

 

[CrippsCorner]

f**king lad 👌

"His reaction to a parking ticket is wild"

His reaction: "Merry Christmas" and drives off.

Pic pinched from a local fb group.

I’ve only ever seen one of these in the flesh before, it was also lying upside down in a field on the way to a track day at Knockhill

They have seriously fucked that up, they (and the Elise) are supposed to be really hard to flip like that 😂

The windscreen pillars are made of some kind of epoxy reinforced dog s**t too so it will have folded flat right into the chaps forehead.

 

[Clio_fool]

It looks like it's been fly tipped there 😂

You've honestly only ever seen 1 of those before?😲

Yes mate, been to loads of track days/evenings which were usually littered with Lotus Elises instead.
Even saw plenty Exiges, Nobles and Radicals on track but I don’t recall ever seeing another VX220/Opel Speedster.

The one I saw was bright orange and had lost it on a bend on the way to Knockhill.
Flipped over several times by the look of it, through a hedge and a meaty farmers fence.
Left a debris field like the Titanic 🤣

That's mad. I don't go to track days but must have seen well over 100 on the roads over the years. There's even one that parks near my work quite often 😂 .

Think most of them broke down before they made it to Scotland, guy here had one was a w**k of a thing to work on and tiny inside

 

[Willo40]

Apart from Robs (which he pretended was broke so he didn't have to take me out on track), i have only ever seen 2 or 3 on the roads i think, seen far more Elise's.

He also let me down, I borrowed Filters expensive full face race helmet so he could take me out in his fibreglass portaloo, never f*cking happened because he's a prick teasing whore.
