There's quite a few Renault Sports over there.

My mate got overtaken up Mount Teide by a 172 😂

Yes they like them over here

 

[CrippsCorner]

Got to say that looks absolutely mint in white. Did we not get them in white, or am I misremembering?

Yeah we got them in white. A couple of lads on here have had White Megs.

Here’s one.

Spotted in Norwich today. Sounded alright I guess but he was just pootling about.

Also followed a 2008 RS6 most of the way home tonight, no photo though. I love how under-the-radar they are compared to current gen RS6's.

 

[NickReilly063]

I’d bet this would do well on Collecting Cars 🤔 - another spot today outside or hotel.

A little sad climbing under someone’s pride and joy I know - but we don’t get them at home like this do we.

Cup interior - and a flaky manual A/C panel - also one piece exhaust I think but just starting to go.

I think I’m sounding like an RAC inspector - sorry 🤣🤣

 

[Matt Cup]

How the f**k have those headlights stayed un-sun damaged?

I got over taken in Derbyshire once in the Vee by a clapped out Mk4 Astra! It was raining and greasy as f**k! I was concentrating on not binning it into a stone wall and matey in the Astra was never seen again!

 

[Aaron..]

Did a trip to Spain and France.
Hardly seen anything of note really.

Loads of these (and similar sized ones) in France. Also Fiat 500's were on every other road.

Was too eager so it's a s**t shot.

Didn't take a photo, because why would you? But one of these outside my work today, in this colour... first time I've seen one. Why would anyone choose one over the R5? Unless it was £5k cheaper or something.

The same will be said for the upcoming 2028 Fiesta.
With the additional question to Ford "Why are you using an old platform for your new car?"

(The R5 will be mid-life by the time they finally get the Fiesta on sale)

I spotted one today in blue. Cool looking R5 ruined for god knows who that would choose one.

 

[Willo40]

Never seen one of these.

 

[Rojer]

Not sure why there is a V12 badge on it unless someone has done a conversion.

 

[Steve1986]

I always liked the Mazda 6 MPS, despite the reliability issues and horrific fuel economy. This one seems to be in dire need of rear shocks, or the driver has filled the boot with dumbbells 🤣

Also saw a really nice ND2? with Koenig wheels and presumably a wrap? Can't remember seeing this as a factory colour before but I may be wrong

Not heard it running to be honest.

That be why

What does that prove? The only V12 Toyota made was the 5.0 in the Century unless it's from something else. I think the biggest petrol engine they fitted was a 5.7

It was a limo engine too, never a powerhouse

I was never a fan of them. I think they're great now though!

Saw one of these boot it from a roundabout yesterday. Looked and sounded superb.

 

[thecrim22]

No pics because was driving home but spotted a white dc5 teg and an r8 f**k me the roof line is low on them

 

[Starlet_gt]

Spotted a fair few cars yesterday and today.

Yesterday -
Alfa Romeo quadriwhateveritis and I had a dabble up the black mountains, I was on my GSXR.

Then saw an Escort RS Cosworth and Cayman GT4.

Today, spotted a green 205 GTi then a light green classic mini that was bombing it down the road.

Spotted this absolute beauty, was incredible.

Crazily not even the best car I saw today…

Karun Chandok and Ollie Bearman smashing around Senna’s JPS Lotus during dinner break on my bike track day.

£30m+ according the the guy running the production.

Absolutely unreal being able to see this up close….and grab the steering wheel quickly when no one was watching, feel pretty privileged!

 

[Coby.]

Out for a run earlier and had a lovely clean looking E39 M5 come past.

I saw a lovely Silverstone blue E60 M5 earlier, it gave a really nice blip on the down shift 😍😍

I find it mental looking at those older cars now with how far forward the driver used to sit. I’d love to see F1 go away from hybrid bullshit and back to proper shouty engines.

Spotted a Lancia Stratos (rep probably) on the M1 yesterday. Unfortunately my chauffeur couldn't get close enough to get a pic.

Seen this at a show last year, unbelievable looking thing in the flesh especially the back end 😍

Lotus Emeria outside the hotel. Very nice other than the plate
