A Ford Puma spotted this morning. If it were spotted, surely it would be a Ford Leopard or Cheetah ? (I'll get my coat........) |

Maybe Tim was talking about the rust!

Funny people.
It appeared to be a fairly rust free one but I only followed it for a few hundred yards.

Nissan GTR, being driven quickly of course.
The CFO has just bought a Tesla X.
She and her husband had been on the Model 3 waiting list and decided to change based on the X having free supercharging for life.
I’ve been in one before and they’re nice, but I can’t see myself splashing out $76,000 on a second hand one when you can get some very nice German machinery for the same price here.
Speaking of German machinery, I also saw a C63 AMG on the back of a trailer.
The front bumper was inside the car, and not in showroom condition...

Spotted this morning a bright yellow Ferrari 348 Spider, happily being given the beans by the sunglasses wearing (on a dull morning at 8:30) driver.
In fairness the colour was that bright that sunglasses would probably need to be worn at night!

On the M3 this morning on my way to work, I was overtaken by a McLaren with the plate P O07 MCL (spaced like that). Not sure if it was one of McLaren's own or just one of their wealthy customers

A couple of times recently I've seen a very rough looking Nissan Silvia S12 - the mid-80s one - around St Andrews, so it must still be being used.
There's a house a few miles away that appears to have a collection of scabby Japanese '70s and '80s automotive obscurity parked in its grounds so I suspect its from there.

I walked past a house today that had 4 Mazdas on the drive. They had a 6 saloon, a 6 estate, a 3 hatchback and an MX5. Variety is the spice of life apparently but no one told this lot.

I saw aMcLaren of some nature this morning.
Brave guy, I had to scrape the car and there was some black ice around plus the council had forgotten to send the gritters out until rush hour....

I saw a Lamborghini Urus at the weekend. It just didn't look that special, misses the mark.

Spotted a (the?) SCAA-liveried Octavia this morning, same age (ish) as mine. Checked it out, and it's a SE 4X4, same as mine!
Not much to say really, other than that; I just find it quite coincidental that a charity I've supported for a good while now uses the same car as me - excellent taste, obviously! |

I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't seen an Insignia VXR for ages and that they must be pretty cheap these days. Then, today, I take the dog for a walk amd there's one parked a few doors down from me.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they're in the top VED bracket, though, which is off-putting.

There was a new Insignia hatch parked outside my workplace on Monday and I must say, it does look good. Shame that the estate isn't quite what I'd like

One caught up with me a few weeks ago and I was 100% sure it was the big Volvo saloon/estate until it overtook.

Looked them up and they're only just starting to dip under £10K. Not quite the bangernomic bargain I had hoped for. I was right about the tax, too.

Yes - but since the facelift is entirely ‘out’ why the camo?

Post by michael on Dec 1, 2018 18:58:18 GMT
Probably couldn't be bothered to take it off? The Ford badge wasn't covered but it was taped over on the steering wheel - a bit odd.

When we were down near Gloucester we passed what looked like a Kuga in full camo. Didn't look very different to me.

Maybe an electric Mach 1 mule.

I wonder if the suggestions are true that CO2 targets will cajole manufacturers into steering the pubelick away from the SUV (sic) towards lower, sleeker fare.

Unlikely as far as I can see, niche models are now those low and sleek types while suv allows for the ageing population.

A couple of Lamborghini Performante, coupe and convertible, both with broken gearboxes as they seemed to be stuck in first. Faulty Sat Nav as well, because they kept getting redirected up Brompton Road.
All sort of other interesting cars (M760 sounded nice burbling past) , as is always the case when visiting London, but unfortunately, as usual most are being driven fairly badly.

Spotted outside the hotel this morning. ‘Extreme Chauffeur Services’, purple flip wrapped CLS63. Ideal for short passengers who want to get somewhere quickly.  |

Not today, but I saw this at Exeter services on the 15th November:
 
It was an EV prototype.
