Yesterday: Renault 4, on an ‘85 B plate so I assume it was a Yugoslav or Portuguese one. Today: Maserati MC20. Driving down our road and therefore looking completely out of place. Forgot I saw this parked in a Hobgoblin themed park-farm that we were visiting to celebrate our 6yo niece’s birthday:

Saw this today in Menorca: I love Europe away from the UK for their cars, seen a few 2CV's, Renault 4's, those weird cool Citroen Moke type things, also just general not so old stuff that you rarely see in the UK anymore as we are so obsessed with having the latest boring new white Audi or Mercedes.

A 'minor woody' today. Have to make sure I don't say THAT in public.

Ferrari 360 Modena, 348 and 355. Morgan Plus4 and a three wheeler. 2 of the latest M4’s Every kind of Porsche imaginable and a vintage BMW motorcycle. Mustang GT, a number of Corvette C6’s, a new Dodge Challenger and a Dukes of Hazard model in orange but without the decals. A bright yellow G Wagon and all kinds of AMG versions including a black version CLS. Brand new 8 Series looked good too. Drove from France through Swiss and into Germany.
*Edit* There was a red BMW Z1 at the French/Swiss border this morning too.

Yeah, I assumed they'd be heading that way. I'm sure they all had some sort of sticker on the side.

A 992 GTS in Night blue, passing me slowly as I walked out of The Oval yesterday. It looked exactly the same as the one I posted a short while ago and looked absolutely fantastic, even better than in pictures. It sounded better than expected at low speeds as well. Still couldn’t / wouldn’t pay a £15k+ premium on a 6 month old car, but it did draw me into a man maths session again!

There is a 992 in that colour which passes the office most days and I think it looks stunning. It would be my choice of colour.

It’s a PTS colour now on the 911

Gives you 2 years to make the man maths work I’m confident in my man maths, it rarely lets me down! Less confident in how much use one would get (for various reasons) and I’m not spending that much on a car unless I get plenty of opportunity to enjoy it (8-10k miles a year). I am going to find some time to visit my local dealer, as I really need to try one, although that’s quite dangerous.

Not really, I think I’d rather have a Boxster if I was buying a 3rd car around that price.

Coming back to the office along the M8 and I was catching a motorbike. There appeared to be a small pillion rider (looked like a child) with its arms around the rider's neck and its legs wrapped around his waist. The blond hair of the pillion was blowing in the wind with no helmet. I thought WTF and closed up on the bike for a better look - it was a back pack which had been designed to look like a person. I just wonder how many other people will have that heart in mouth moment as they think a child is clinging to the rider!

Not today, but a couple of weeks ago, this is the ‘little tank’ that was used in “Allo, Allo”.

360 challenge stradale appearing in my rear view mirror- it passed me on the a444 and then I was following it through stop n start traffic in Nuneaton. The noise of the thing even idling was immense , must have been a tubi exhaust or similar

Bright red 306 Rallye on the M6 this morning, it looked in perfect condition and unmodified other than a slightly larger exhaust.
