Lotus Exige, I heard it first. Not many of them around here. Also saw my first new plate- a Skoda Yeti or whatever the new version is. Looked good although I don’t think I’d be waiting almost 2 weeks to see the new reg plates here.

A wine coloured Lotus Emira at Wetherby Services yesterday - looked nice - and a yellow one further north later on.
There were a few 1990s 911s out and about too.

In Podium Place Newbury yesterday (where I parked next to another Giulia...). I only guessed what it was from the badges, having not really seen a proper article on one:

Was out with my son today and we visited a waterfall south of Dublin. There were film crews and more while we were there and discovered that Netflix is filming the next series of “Wednesday” there. I didn’t watch the first series but have seen the movies, anyway, saw the car in the screenshot attached in the car park but it drove off before I knew what it was. New series filmed in Ireland in a location that’s created like a US national park- even the signs are authentic looking. Apart from that I saw a few AMG vehicles including a new G Class, an MG-B and a beautiful red Sprite.

There’s classic, old and vintage. Then there’s veteran. Summer drive out for the old giffers yesterday. A few were still on the lawn this morning and one was being moved back round to the Motor Shed as I walked across to the Clubhouse and it smelled fabulously of oil, alcohol and petroleum distillate.

I followed another Giulia QF all the way from Basingstoke to Newbury the other evening, which excited me at least It was the white one I often see around Newbury (exclusively in Race mode).

I parked in the office car park yesterday, 2 spaces up from a Triumph Spitfire (that sat all day with the roof down, brave given the number of seagulls around at present). More excitingly someone has a Corvette C3 (early 70s) and while I only saw it from the office window on the 5th floor I heard it arriving for a LOT longer. I forgot to go and check it out at lunchtime but heard it again when it left and then heard it pulling away from the various sets of lights near the office

Drove behind a 2003 Mondeo ST220 this afternoon. It looked like it had been kept in pretty good condition and didn’t have any aftermarket crap on it from what I could see.

Another Ferrari owned by the local collector, he has a 250 SWB too, which I've posted up previously, as well as a few bits of modern stuff:

I saw a Honda NSX in the local town yesterday, did they sell them in a colour other than red or white?

I saw a Honda NSX in the local town yesterday, did they sell them in a colour other than red or white? I've seen black and silver and I think there were more colour options than that (not sure about the UK). The one I had a very brief drive in when I had a Saturday job selling Hondas was silver.

Thanks Martin, after I typed I did remember having seen a yellow one once and I think a copper one did the rounds of the mags back in the day.

Yeah the yellow one was in Autocar years ago, I remember that too. Was in Norn Iron over the weekend and was surprised at how common Porsches are there- Taycans and Panameras especially. Saw 2 993 Turbos- I do like them in grey. Porsches are common enough in Dublin but it’s more Cayenne/Macans than Panameras. Nearly had a Kawasaki engine in the front of the car when 3 bikers came barreling around a bend towards me, had I not been more aware, the lead biker might have taken me out.

The other side of the coin; my mate and his wife were in the Republic last week, on his/their Honda Blackbird, sitting at traffic lights and got rammed from behind! Hit that hard she flew off the back, and has broken her humerus in three places!!! They're home now, but she is VERY sore!

Ouch! I hope they recover soon, and the driver goes to jail - that kind of thing is not an accident. On the yellow NSX I knew I'd seen one recently, it was in the local "Podium Place" cafe (that always has amazing stuff in it) in summer 22. It was "not for sale" - many of the cars there are:

A rare Georges Irat roadster from the 1930s. 1,100 cc engine and front wheel drive. Uses some parts from the Citroen Traction Avant, including the gearbox and dash-mounted gearstick.

Few older ones today, a very clean 1988 VW Passat estate, an older Corvette, probably a C4 from what I could see and an old Forum car, although not the same one, a black BMW Z1 on German export plates, LHD and very clean. Been a while since I’ve seen one in the metal.
