On the 4x4 thing, it's just Hummers, X5s, Cayennes, M classes, Range Rovers etc that have never left the mean streets of SW3 that I object to...I have no issue with people actually using 4x4 vehicles to do the things that 4x4 vehicles are designed to do - tow, go off road, farming etc...not just carting Tristan and Sophia to and from school <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My god that looks like a MK1 Micra that has been beaten with the ugly stick before having it's head chopped!

And how can you tell what they are being used for? I've taken my kid to scholl in the G Wagen because I was on the way somewhere afterwards

What does it matter whether they are being used for their "core" design use. Why not slag off all the Ferraris driving round London stuck at 30 mph (and that's if they are lucky)

I'm sorry, this is just petty jealousy. This government tells us what to do (and what not to do) in any everything we do, we are a worse nanny state that in Orwell's 1984 and the most surveilled country in the whole of Europe. Don't let the b*****ds dictate what you (or I) can drive or we'll all be those mega-polluting hybrid cars that causes so much more "environmental damage" to make than a Range Rover will ever cause in its lifetime

Renault Alpina GTA in red the other day and a Montego Turbo!

And as a law abiding, car & home owning female I have no issue with this...in fact, generally I feel safer <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And back on topic...

I saw a bright yellow Monaro this morning...not seen one on the road before <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Saw a Holden in Wales the other day.

I saw a toyota savo (?), earlier today. the cack hatchback with the glass roof and wraparound scissor doors. Bit scruffy.

toyota Sera ;-)

How many holes did it have? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I remember one of my dads mates having a Maestro turbo brand new in the late 80's. As a pre-pubescent boy I remember it being the fastest and most scariest thing I had ever been in. I also remember the voice box in the dash was on the blink and it was only a few months old. It kept telling you to put your seat belt on despite it being firmly in place.

That said I'd love to have a go in one, although they say you should never meet your heroes.....

LOL is that the official colour name? 'greenish yellow' <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I love it when the Japanese try naming stuff in English

On the way back from Powerfiat yesterday I saw...

Caterham 21, (broken down on the hard shoulder).

Jensen Interceptor, (I've always loved the shape of these). <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" />

Citroen 2CV - The later one with the slightly squared off arches and built in lights

thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> knew it didn't seem right

Brewster, surprisingly it was in pretty good nick <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just spotted a ford thunderbird on Putney high street

Saw an Ultima Gtr today and also some kit car that I have no idea what it is...

Rolls Royce Phantom parked up at the top of the road sunday night, second time it's been there in as many weeks.

This thing is big, an awesome sight. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" />

Brewster will be happy at this one...

Mr clarkson in his blue GT40

You seem to missing something there mate, surely you meant to say "Mr Clarkson in his blue GT 40......broken down, awaiting the AA". <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Was going slow.....in traffic

Is a Nissan Skyline rare? Think it's a GT-R V-Spec R33.

My mate just bought one to outdo my Coop and my mates TT. I have to say, I wasn't that impressed till I sat in the passenger seat and experienced 0-60 in the kind of time it would take me to have finished putting my seat belt on ! That was quite something. Since I made him log onto this site a few times, thought I'd mention it on here <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ian.

On a grey sunday morning in march this year, I can remember the drizel on the window, I saw an Enzo Ferrari, I had to give way to it on the rounabout I could'nt beleive my eyes. I then followed in my coupe for nearly half a mile until it pulled into a side road to turn around. I think the guy changed his mind about going into town. The amount of people who turned to look at it probably made him a bit nervous.

He meant to say Ford GT, not GT40 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Not that rare but was followed yesterday up the M23 by a lovely orange Murcielago <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" />

Yes I tried to goad him but no way was he going for it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Saw an Ariel Atom <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" /> at the Dartford Tunnel on Saturday. He must of been loving life in the rain.
Also saw a new Ford Mustang <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> round the corner from where I live on Saturday evening. Quite big cars aren't they?

Dave

Fezza Testarossa last week on the Hatfield road from Hertford
Sounded <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Honda NSX parked up in north Leeds this morning, obviously a bit of a Honda man as he also had a Prelude

need a bit of help naming this one!!!
walking around Putney at the weekend... just as i was admiring the black 355 parked next to me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ... (here we go) the car that Jeremy Clarkson bought on TopGear in the episode when Jeremy, Richard, and James are given £10,000 each and told to go out and buy a mid-engined Italian supercar and then are given a series of challenges to compete in with them and drive them from Bristol to Spearmint Rhino in Slough??? Gorgeous looking car...
anyone got the answer? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Clarkson bought a Maserati Merak, Hamster had a 308 and May bought a Lambo, I think it was an Urraco or Espada but could be wrong.

Clarkson's Merak was supposed to be a SS, but it turned out to only have SS badges. Very similar looking car to the Bora, which May drove in a later programme. Yes I do watch too much Top Gear

That's the one!!! I watch Top Gear on sky far too much too! remember the situation with the badges. When the cars were on the dyno, he found an invoice for some work on the car including 2 SS badges at £38!! heheh! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

My bro turned up in a dodge charger at his wedding all dun up in the same colours as the general lee how cool is that <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />( not as fast as my coupe though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> )

Does a Renault Safrane count?

I pointed it out to Mrs Damo who craned her neck round to see what I was pointing at, she was very underwhelmed when all she saw was a large ugly saloon. I was left muttering that you don't see them very often, that's all

Bernie, I hope you're brother had the matching multi tone horn to go with it. Class!
