I think this is the ID4...... unfortunately the showroom did not open until 11:00am despite staff being inside so I could not wait over an hour to go in to view it closer (Berlin last week)

Anyway I saw a variety of hot stuff on the A93 road from Blairgowrie up to the Glenshee Ski Centre. The highlight was a small convoy consisting of 2 McLarens, a 911 of some sort and a Nissan GT-R. Everybody spotted was clearly obeying speed limits though, I suspect that stretch is a favourite for unmarked cars.

I saw an F Pace SVR yesterday evening. It was resplendent in that smurf blue. Sadly I wasn't around when it fired up.

A fantastic moggie (D suffix) in fantastic nick being driven by an older bloke in a hat. It had very wide rear tyres and great burbly V8 sound track. Worth going to the Crow-Op for.

A triumph Stag, minus the V8 transplant burble. I wonder how many exist in original state.

Near Warwick an Aston vantage convertible (the new one) and very lovely it looked as well,but more interesting if I’m right was another aston ,I was going the other way and he was going quite fast so it was too rapid a look to be certain but it looked like a new vantage with a louvred bonnet which means the v12,but it may have been a dbs superleggera.
Also noticed quite a few nice cars recently being driven without front number plates ,is that legal ?

I think there is a fashion among the wrong sort to put the front number plate on top of the dashboard.

I had the dubious pleasure of being in Buckhaven yesterday evening and saw a Vauxhall Corsa 2 door saloon in convertible form! It's a friend uncle's car. It's in, er, unrestored condition and definitely wouldn't keep you dry if it was raining.

I am imagining something not unlike the Ford Ka convertible which Piers posted on here many years ago.

An E90 3 series BMW with some of those shark gill vents in the quarterlight of the back door. Maybe someone's plonked an engine back there.....

Wonder how it gets registered if there's no type approval certificate etc; I thought that prototype vehicles were usually flagged as such on the DVLA website

I was rather hoping the future was methane, THAT I can do...... Rather well in fact.

Two full size Chevrolet Pick ups. One parked but the other had a very deep burble as it went past.

Yesterday on the way to collect Bess, one Honday electric golf buggy and a Tesla three. That three looked bigger/taller than it probably is. The Honda is a meh, thing. I cannot get over the price of those things.

Someone who lives near me has bought a new X7 M50i and when I got to the school I ended up parking beside it. It was a really dark blue and I actually liked the look of it. I still can’t believe something that size of a car can hit 60 in around 4 seconds.
I also can’t believe I like the look of it. Maybe it was that the lights were on and I couldn’t see the grille...

I was just nipping across the road to M&S to grab a sandwich for lunch and was on the large central reservation when 100yds up the road, the speed camera flashed. A guy in a bright orange helmet, on an electric stand up scooter then flew past me - that is going to make interesting viewing when they download those photos! I didn't think they could go that fast and I sure as hell wouldn't feel very safe on those tiny wheels: they are bad enough when they are human powered!

A white BMW M1 in Harrogate earlier this week.
I’m not sure if I had ever seen one before, but only 480 made apparently so pretty rare.
