Today I saw a Dark blue Ferrari 612. Stunning! - What's yours?

Best i saw today was Dougall's reflection on the bum of a Bentley. No idea the model only that it was quite new but not so shiny as Dougall.

1625

[euan]

That's a nice motor that Lambo.

I spotted another GTR today, looked very tasty. 4 door Bentley Continental as well, in black, looked quite nice but I'm not really a fan of them.

[Burple]

A nice pearly yellow Gallardo in Glasgow last week! :cool::cool::thumbs up:

[bry_mini]

911 turbo and a nice blue m3.....both in the same driveway, jammy so and so

[Gismo]

Black M3 crossing me at a major junction, very nice

Red Audi R8 shot past me on M74, stunning!

[The Dogfather]

I caught the reflection of a nice TT with BBS LM style wheels in as I drove past the call centre with the big mirrored windows :D

[zimbo]

Heres what I saw yesterday...

1690169116921693

The white Maserati is JUST SO AMAZING in the flesh, and I admit I never really been a fan of Maseratis but this one changed that!!! :yes nod: These will be part of my Garage collection, when I WIN the lottery (:laugh:Who am I kidding....)

[Stewart]

The guy up the Mearns that has the Mini GP, The RS A4 and what looks like the New Rolls has swapped his black Lambo for a new 10 plate white Lambo and it looks fantastic.

[Fartin Martin]

I know that guy S1 AHJ??

I was sat behind a Massi identical to that today coming home from uni...sounded phenominal! Im much the same as you, Maserati's just don't do it for me, but that car is hot!


A'l throw my best car I seen into the debate today =
http://www.pocketrocket.ca/gallery/galleries/polo/mk2_polo2.jpg

I think it is amazing that its still running and has gone into the retro cool category. Obviously this is just my opinion on the retro cool category!

[Stewart]

Mate had a Polo Fox and you could not believe the thrashing the wee car took and even went through a roundabout. Not seen one in years. I'm getting to the stage I like seeing older cars.

Martin I just look up that drive and say " a feck he's got a new Lambo" The GP looks smart as well.

[Fartin Martin]

Yeah it's deffo his..only the GP is his the rest are his Dads..he's abit of a prat tbh..likes to look down on people with minis that are not GP's..I'd rather work my ass off and work for my car and get a higher spec each time than have daddy buy me it and really have no appreciation for it.

[camjay]

GTR in Larkhall today. Brand new in Silver. :drool::drool::drool::drool: and red Audi R8 I keep seeing on Maryhill Road (getting a bit fed up seeing that one to be honest - LOL)!!

[N16SHP]

Theres a kid that comes into my work every monday night, his parents are very wealthy. So far i've seen him appear in a Ferrari F430, Lambo Murcellargo, Aston V8 Vantage....oh and his run-around, a top of the range X5! As much as I love his cars, i'd never swap what I have for him cos he's the most miserable person i've ever met!

[Ayrshire09]

Seen a awesome m3 absolutely tearing it up by the loudon hill inn today, such a nice sounding engine!

[Craig]

I see a Rolls Royce Phantom drop-head every day on my way to work... :thud: :thumbs up:

[euan]

On the earlier theme of masers, I saw a stunning Gran Sport today, dark grey, looked awesome. Sitting next to me on the M42 - all that power means nothing in rush hour traffic ;-) Still, I'd rather be sat in that!

I'd love to see a drop head Phantom up close, they are all just phenomenal cars if you consider the engineering that goes into them.

[N16SHP]

A guy at my hockey club has one, and I sometimes delay leaving to get in behind him, and hear him tearing it up the road out into the country as is sounds amazing!!

[zimbo]

I saw this on Friday while in London in the Largest Audi dealership in Europe by all accounts and it is a MASSIVE show room....

This car is AMAZING in the flesh... :drool:

[GCA3N]

Not many cars I'd say goodbye to the mini for but that is defo one of them. Very very nice :drool:

[Hamish]

Saw a Bugatti Veyron in Epping on Sunday when I was heading into the hospital my Aunt was in... I never thought I'd see one of those in the flesh driving along... unbelievable. I was sitting at a junction waiting to turn right as it drove in front of me... My dad, sister and I all stopped talking and were just in awe of it, then I realised I was holding up the traffic and better get back trying to turn right! Even the number plate would of cost a fortune... 2 numbers and a single letter... OUCH.

Pagani Zonda next anyone?!

[Ally S]

911 turbo and a nice blue m3.....both in the same driveway, jammy so and so

A guy at my work has a 911 and a blue M3. What colour was the 911, his is grey with a tan interior. Both are lovely cars.

Salesmen get paid too much!

Saw a Noble M12 today driving out of the village as I was on the bike - sounded great!

[zimbo]

I saw a Metallic Purple Lamborghini Diablo VT heading through Fife (southbound) as I was heading (northbound) home from Scottish Motor Show at Knockhill today... (which was awesome...)

[ianking]

Yesterday William and I were talking to Colin Noble (Nobles Subaru, Penicuik). He was driving a minted 22B edition at a car show we were at in Penicuik. Eagle eyed harper noted the plaque number on the dash. It was 000400. All the car that were sold started 001400 up to 400400.
Asked Colin about the car. It was a car used as a press launch etc then it was giften to Colin McRae. It has 10,000km on it. When McRae was alive the Nobles really wanted to buy it but McRae wasnt for selling. Nobles had a minted Escort rally car the McRae wanted so eventually they done a deal to swap, only on the condition that McRae got to buy the Subaru back if they ever sold it. Now the McRae family get the option to buy it back for their personal collection should the Nobles ever sell it.
The car is still registered to Colin McRae as they never changed the V5. It comes out on the trade plates and does about 200kms every year.

Great story, it's fantastic that people do this for special motors.

[euan]

My highlight of the weekned was the Escort Cosworth parked in the car park at my local Mothercare! That would scare the kids...

I'd not seen one in a very long time, you forget just how compact they were, and how aggressive looking they were too! In the fantasy garage, I'd have one tucked up in the corner next to a Integrale.

[camjay]

About 10 TVR's driving down Balmore Road in Glasgow this morning. Must have been out on a run!

[cooperchris]

Was heading home from work just bout 4pm an saw a white 10 plate skyline GTR going round the round about in front of me.

Didnt see it for long, it wasn't hanging around :yes nod:

There's one of these on Arran, Black, absolutely stunning looking, not sure of what he thought of the roads or indeed if he managed to actually get it above 40.

[cooperchris]

How lucky was i this morning, Went to work an when we got to the house to start working the owner had the garage door open with a guy valleting a 10 plate black audi R8 Spyder mmmm. So i went over for a wee look(as you would) and sittin to one side was a blue audi RS6 avant and to the other side was a red 10 plate ferrari california. Then looked into the corner and there was an old school silver bmw Z3M (my kind of garage)

The only thing missing was a mini :frown:

I just had to ask him to start that V10 R8 :yes nod:

That noise is just so:drool:

[Doug_m]

Today for me was my mates Aston Martin V8 vantage.

I'll get a few photos up in about a weeks time. Detailing it for him. Getting nervous about it :(

Oh and a R8 at westhill at midday!

[Ally S]

Passed a Bugatti Veyron in Milngavie.

Couldn't believe my eyes - wish I'd got a better view of it. Has to the be the most exclusive car I've ever seen.

[Burple]

about 8-10 Mk2 Escorts in various guises from from base model up to RS2000 in convoy through Dundee yesterday morning! Obviously heading to Glamis.. Great sight on the road!! :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

[baptie]

They surely were heading for Glamis, Escorts were out in force.

Stunning wee fiat 500 classic, MINT Condition, looked like new

[Scottie]

Not only did I see but I sat in the drivers side. A Merc AMG 6.3 thingy the same that was on Top Gear last night..... One of the girls at my work had it in today.. happens that her husband is high up in Western Edinburgh. Would I swap it for my Clubman D.... nope.

[Mon the fish]

The new Alford lottery winner has bought himself a V10 R8, was sitting outside the PO yesterday. For a small village, it's now home to a Gallardo Spyder, the R8, GT3 RS, an M5, M3, 2 Focus RS's, and of course my JCW :-)

[N16SHP]

That's nuts, thats some car collection. I pretty much just got lost for 5 mins thinking about litterally owning those cars and having the dilema of which one to take out!

[Kren__]

Last night on the way home from work I was stuck in traffic along the beach in Aberdeen alongside a '10' plate Lamborghini Gallardo Spider. Looked immense in white. Unfortunately traffic was crawling so didn't get to hear it under any meaningful acceleration...

The problem comes from not having enough time on the PC so when I get on and theres loads of stuff to go through I have to speed read and well the results can be:blush:

At home I sneak on when the missus is not looking on my iphone so not only can i not see the screen properly I again can be rushed.

These are my excuses anyway maybe getting the wrong side of 35 has something to do with it. Goodness knows what will happen in the next few years.:rolleyes:

You've had enough ribbing I think so I'm not saying anything... :Whistle:

But I have seen the orange one in the past as well.

Today I'm parked next to a 911, think it's a Carrera. It's silver in case anyone's wondering. That's silver...

---> SILVER <---
