Today I saw.....

I've been wondering for a while how it is that Merc have got the A Class into the top 3 sellers list. I know they're common but I just didn't see THAT many on the road.
However, a visit to a partially complete new housing estate has cleared up the mystery.
It seems that 50% of the houses in the development - a mix of 3 bed semis to small 4 beds detached that have a single garage - have a new A Class parked outside.

Bet they're disappointed that their premium car is so common, especially in white!

GT2 RS (Weissach package), I took a picture because of the plate

I remember they did the same for Harry Potter but with a job lot of Vectras. 

Haven’t seen Kevin and Perry for years, I think I’ve got it on VHS. Was an excellent film though, had me in stitches when I first watched it.

Saw a Lexus V8 coupe that I can't be arsed to look up the actual name of. Dunno if it had an optional exhaust on it but it made the F Type driven by some balding twat in his mid life crisis-mobile sound like a Fiesta in comparison.

(he kept leaving a gap and then flooring it, even though he was in midtown traffic)

I was stopped behind a Passat W8 today.
Then an hour later at the same lights, I was behind an E63 AMG.

There was obviously a BMW 4 series Gran Coupe owners club meeting somewhere near me yesterday because I saw 4 of them in Cupar in the space of about 45 seconds.

I also saw a Lambo Hurracan Spyder parked in Tesco at Cupar.
Not sure I want one but could say with certainty that if I did it certainly wouldn't be in white.

It took me about 10 seconds to work out what it was as it sat in traffic outside the office this morning - a previous generation E Class coupe in white with what looked like a previous generation C63 coupe bumper and grill, black sills, Black 20" E or C63 multispoke wheels, black rear diffuser and quad 63 exhausts and most interesting, one piece rear windows which presumably no longer go up and down. I know the split rear window in the E Class coupe is loathed by Racing but I am not sure he would have any more love for the way this thing looked.

Yesterday, a first gen Focus (54 plate). Looked in good nick too but the pale green colour looked quite dire.

If only Renault offered the Grand Scenic in Honey Yellow.... only the standard Scenic comes in that colour, and with the contrasting black roof IMHO it looks great. I don't know if Humph can explain why they don't offer all colours across the Grand Scenic, seems a silly decision IMHO

It gives people an alternative to the usual herd of German alternatives but the Maseratis really are quite rare.

Your comment about the styling applies to the Quattroporte as well (there's a white one in the office carpark and its not particularly distinctive), the only one in the current range that stands out is the Gran Turismo.

From a distance, the Porsche 992. In the dark, you are not going to miss it, with how the centre part of the engine cover is illuminated. It looked fantastic, I need to see more of it to gauge whether I prefer it to the 991. I loved the 991.

Had a brief chat with the driver of a black Aventador at local Shell just now. Striking looking thing, even if I prefer the Huracan. Not that I told him that, of course.

Someone I work with had a couple of cars to plug a two week gap between company car, one of which was a Q8.  He was telling me about it which included how quick but economical is was for a 5 litre engine....

Its a stupid engine naming system.

There is that!
