Saw a new VW ID3 on my drive into work yesterday morning, Hadn't realised these were actually on sale yet. It was in the green colour as per the ones in the magazine articles and I thought it looked very good.

I think they're doing tours of the dealerships as the one next to our office had one in the other week but I don't know that they've started customer deliveries yet.

My first Urus in the real world and not at a motor show. Driven by a bloke who clearly wanted to show it off. As he parked it next to the arena where horses were warming up for the dressage we were at today, rather than in the car park fifty yards away. And when he started it up, he spooked a few horses whose riders gave him the most "you stupid wanker" looks. Still, no git plate, so there is hope. And a rather lovely shade of blue, but not sure about the black wheels.

Seen a few in the last week or so, one on a private plate, TBH I think they look OK, far better than the reviews would have you believe.

A Prius doing about 60 on the interstate with a roof rack full of luggage. About 4 cars in front of it, was a Tesla Model 3 towing a trailer.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen either in those states before.

This morning as I trundled along a 40mph dual carriageway something biggish appeared behind me going very quickly. My immediate thought was an ambulance. Very shortly thereafter, I was passed by a flatbed Transit doing 60+ with 4 portaloo's on the back. I had to have a chuckle to myself at the thought of a load of guys on a building site all cross legged waiting for this guy to arrive!

There are a number of those Chevys around, mainly all of them are owned by younger guys who mod them. Big V8 Hemi in them means you can get some serious speed out of them.
Aston Martin DB11. Quite probably on its way to the Aston Martin Specialist that is down the street from me, although they normally have DB5/6’s

Yes, I have just watched a Youtube video on Powernation where they swapped the 4x4 for AWD and a big block.

Not great if I'm honest. It was yellow and I just keep asking myself why then bursting into tears.

5 lane interstate. I’m in lane 4, going about 80, faster than the other 3 lanes. I see a car approaching in lane 5, a good 10mph faster than me. It’s dark outside and I recognised it by its headlights, despite never seeing one before on the road.
What was it?
The Bentley SUV (seriously ugly vehicle).

And yet, there are people out there willing to part with money for them, I saw 2 in the same day once! Also goes to show, right badge and it will sell, imagine a convertible Captur or 2008 they would rightly not sell!

Fortunately it was when I was waiting in the car, it was raining hard and the wipers weren't on. This one was white.

R8 convertible- is that a roadster or a spider or just a convertible?

Yesterday while visiting the Crowop. A Ferrari, 458 possibly, with a removable roof panel. No nice noise though, too slow. Also a Ford Escort MK II with a very fruity exhaust.

While out running today, the roaring in my ears was drowned out by something purposeful approaching from behind - and a Guards Red 996 GT3 flashed past. Nice to see one out at this time of year, sporting a level of grime which suggested it was regularly enjoyed.

On the way home from Dundee yesterday we followed a Yaris GR across the Tay Bridge. I suspect it had just been collected from the dealership as it was immaculate.
It was a black one.

A new Audi S3 today, it was so quiet, yikes. Sounded more like a diesel. WTLP really has screwed the sound of performance machines. The new A3 looks similar to the old one, just a bit shitter.
I think the Akrapovic exhaust on the new Golf R could be considered essential...

I saw that Bramley have a black GR Yaris out front. Looks suitably mean and according to their website they have a red one too but both are listed as under offer. A snip at just shy of £40k.
