There was a metallic orange Aventador in thge car park at NEC last Friday for Autosport International

SO many 458s and McLarens on various stands inside I'm amazed there are any left to actually drive

458 Italia - 08:15 this morning going up the Warwick Road in Coventry towards the city centre. That more orangey racing-red with a black roof and alloys. Looked and sounded amazing. First one I have seen moving on the road outside of a show....

That's why I mentioned that particular car, there's countless lambo's and ferrari's but I've only seen one MC12 over here. Not sure I like it, it looks a bit too long and you couldn't do an ikea run in it, the boot space is....well I'm not sure it has one!?

Passed a Diablo on the NorthCirc the other day - it was going soooo slowly.

And a Bongo Friendee was parked at the top of my road. The nerve of the guy...

I saw a Ferrari FF yesterday. Frontend looks great, backend not so great, sort of reminicent of a big Peugeot estate. But the length of thing, it seemed to go on for ever - its a big car. And the flat Vinci Grey-ish paint wasn't helping.

Slightly cheating, but Pagani Zonda and MP4-12C in the paddock at the F3 at Oulton last Saturday.

The Zonda was a carbon fibre finish, and it was filthy dirty. Great to see cars like that being used. It looked mean.

The McLaren did absolutely nothing for me. In fact, I almost walked straight past it. Ferrari 458 for me, thanks.

At the Fiat Car Club of Queensland monthly meeting last night, one of our members arrived in a borrowed car, a 1996 Yellow Cinquecento Sporting,an ex UK car.

This is the only known example of this model in Australia, and, Boosted7, it sports WA plates.

By UK standards, it is not rare, but "Downunder" it certainly is!

RS200 C20 --- Skipton bypass heading towards Bingley. Was in convoy with a 1.3 ghia mk2 Escort and another Mexico Replica I think.

Kids were in awe, looked lovely - well jealous.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

saw one of these when driving through one of the little villages somewhere between Haverhill and Newmarket yesterday.

Whilst I know this is technically a superb car, I couldnt shake the feeling that it looked like a giant male member with wheels.

Great car but not my bag. If I had that much spare cash it would not be going on one of those.

keeps it interesting that we are all different i guess

Not very exciting, but pretty rare (round here anyway) in Burford this evening, an MG6. And guess what?
It's even more boring in the flesh than in the press shots.
