The Tagora is damn rare but was super comfy inside thumb
I worked at Ryton on the track in the 80's taking amongst other jobs the final Alpines and Solaras round the onsite test loop..........

Don't see one for months, then they all arrive at once. Couple of them were up for some sport, but I had a nervous passenger with me, so I held back


few months ago on the M62 somewhere between Manchester and Hull one of these went screaming by me (I was doing a "little" over the limit) chased by some sort of superbike.
Both made me look like I was standing still, they must have been doing 140 MINIMUM! but god what a noise, esp the bike laugh

Passed a (filthy) white BMW M1 two weeks ago driving in the snow, with grit and road salt being splattered all over the underside and flanks.

I wouldn't even take my Coupé out in that kinda weather, never mind a rare and expensive supercar like that!

Can't be many left at all. My old man had one from 83-87 and they were rare then. He had a Pug 604 before, which was equally unusual.

Saw a Y-reg Chevette on the A63 near Monk Fryston earlier today.

I saw a very strange little car yesterday, the Renault Wind...hopefully this is and will stay a rare car.

In Chelmsford on Sunday I saw what I thought was a Red 959.

However, as we got nearer it looked more like a replica as it just seemed too narrow and sat too high - infact it sat like a cross between the old FIAT 850 Coupe and a Skoda Rapide - with a 959esque body on top laugh

Had a google to look at 959 replicas but can find nothing as 'narrow' confused

Ohy my, would love to see a pic of that evo.

Hmm 959 in red is a wrong, any Porsche in red is wrong actually.

I was about to say "and you LET that happen in a 20vt?" I believe there is a 'How to' fit an passenger ejector seat in the FAQ section... laugh

Spotted a De Lorean parked up just off city Road in Sheffield today. Looked like it needed some TLC, there was no sign of a flux capacitor either.

Just driven past that Silver MP4 12c again! Going along the Wedgenock Lane in Warwick about 15 mins ago. Nice car and great to see fully road-registered but was sooo quite and did not look special enough from all angles for me as a Supercar......

saw a Bristol on the M1 today. Never seen one before, reading up a very rare and interesting car. Glad I didnt challenge it to a race, would have been humiliating.
