Coming back from Dundee last night I saw a perfect set of black lines scribing one circumnavigation of Forgan roundabout (about 1 mile south of the Tay Bridge). However, its clear from how the marks finish the driftmeister overcooked it eventually and ended up facing the wrong way. Great job though, it's got some odd cambers on that roundabout.

It has indeed! If he only lost it at the last knockings, he did extremely (if illegally!) well.

I visited my mother this afternoon and nearly had a head on collision with a Ferrari 550 (can’t remember when I last saw one) followed moments later by an Aston Martin which, according to the plate, was not only a DBS but the driver was 007.

I saw a new Vauxhall Mokka at the weekend. I'm sure this is intentional but the front view reminds me very much of the Viva HB Scroll down until you see the GT version in white with a black bonnet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Viva

Ferrari 308 this morning, also saw a new M6 yesterday and spoke with the very happy owner, and then a new BMW 840i convertible today too. Don’t think I’ve seen many of them.

On my way back from my mums last night I spotted a burgundy Mk4 Cortina 2.0 GL complete with rear window louvres.

A Genesis G80 parked in a lay-by just outside Brackley. Didn’t get more than a quick look, but the huge shiny grille and droopy rear don’t look better than they do in pictures.

Spotted yesterday a Rolls Royce Wraith. In white. Clearly owned by someone called Ryan.
Tacky.

An e-Golf parked outside Tesco after it had closed, plugged into one of the free chargers. It was late but still 29c and he was sat there looking rather warm with all the windows down. I don't know whether he's tight and/or desperate for electricity, but what an unpleasant experience. Thankfully the Momentum 99 pump was pretty quick, so I was soon back in the cool and on my way.

I've seen a distinctive current shape Range Rover Spurt in the local town a couple of times recently
It has a matt grey wrap (I assume it's a wrap) below the windowline but a gloss black roof and pillars. Together with a set of spacers on the wheels it looks particularly vile.

There is a Land Rover guy in Canada imported a few of these. Britanica Restorations on YouTube.
He sold them to the USA as he couldn't get them registered in Canada.
He would do it to fill a container when he went to the UK for parts. Interesting guy, originally from Guisborough.

The view from the restaurant this evening. Shockingly bad in real life, but I didn’t let it put me off my food It was interesting watching the coming and going of vehicles in the High Street. Three Range Rover Sports, one RR Autobiography, a Bentley Bentayga, a BMW X7, an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and two Jaguar F-Paces. Clearly upmarket SUVs are popular around here.

Saw a heavily modified Panamera today. It had different coloured panels on it- copper wheel arches and black doors. I seem to remember the roof was some other hideous thing. The engine sounded like a NASCAR and nothing like any Porsche should, this side of LeMans.

I've tried to forget this but at the weekend I saw a modified 2005 Toyota Celica. It had big wheelarch extensions - with the indents for rivets that Porsche did on one of the superheated 911s years ago - a massive rear wing, sideskirts and deep front splitter. It'd been painted in a bright orange, possibly Ford's old ST orange from the Mk2 Focus, except the rear spoiler and door mirrors were black. The wheels were also black and, in perhaps the most standout feature of this vision of awfulness. completely standard including offset so that there was at least 12 inches of overhang with the extended arches.

The bodyshop I used to use in manchester had a panamera in years ago owned by a player at Bolton (when bolton were a premier league team) ,he had just put the techart bodykit and interior on it ..£60,000 worth of techart ,it looked so bad there are no words.

Yesterday, whilst stationary at a set of temporary lights I spied a couple of Ferraris a few cars ahead, I thought one was a 355, couldn't work out what the other was, upon the lights going green and the line of traffic moving, it wasn't a 355, it was infact an F50 and the other was an Enzo.
