458 Italia on island over the A46 going in to Warwick 0735 this morning. Lovely and nice to see it being used as a Daily runner!

Funny you mention that Maserati, Nello, as I was actually at that Lebanese restaurant in Wednesday night and spotted the Maser parked out front. Looked nice!

19:40 last night coming off the A46 island going into Warwick - spotted my first McLaren P1 thumb Yellow - looked awesome especially the rear end with the light arrangement. McLaren Birmingham are not a million miles away and I saw several MP4-12c's in the same place before they were launched being road-tested...... Looked very special

The A46/M40 from Coventry down to Gaydon is a great area for spotting new vehicles being tested, particularly JLR and Aston... but I've also seen a couple of Maccas being driven rather enthusiastically along there!

Yes mate - I was on my way to work on nights only last week when x2 F Type Coupes all stickered up in those black/white markings cruised past me then pulled in in front and we all convoyed along the A46 until I turned off at Warwick. They seemed quite interested in the Coupe thumb

Nice! I spotted the new long wheelbase range rover with camouflage all over it being driven through Warwick the other day as well.

We passed an immaculate Mk1 Range Rover on the M3 last weekend. Attracting serious money these days.

Popped in to see my friend and have the Scirocco de tuned for its VW service, he has a car storage facility built on to the workshop which always has some pretty exotic cars in there.
This time was a little more exciting than usual though, next to his office was a car under a cover, the cover had a McLaren badge on it......a McLaren P1 badge laugh
Over in the other corner was a white Zenvo with a guy doing some filming, the guy was a certain Shmee150 of YouTube fame.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6miOSw9_3xk

The video shows the P1 in the background if you look carefully.

I had a chat with Mr Shmee who had done a hot lap at the Yas circuit the night before, he said it is just simply mind blowing how quick the car is.

Red Ferrari F50 on A24 today, slightly more impressive than the silver 458 on the M25

And a complete tosser in a C63 who thought he was being clever baulking me on the A24 slowing right down as he caught traffic, then accelerating flat out to the next cars, at which point he slowed right down again. And then brake tested me when he finally turned off - wouldn't mind, but in a Diesel Evoque driving along minding my own business, I was hardly threatening

Stumbled over the Stratford-on-Avon Motoring Festival today - didn't realise it was on despite being local........ Town centre roads closed off and tons of Bank-Holidaymakers enjoying the usual horde of British classics - E-Types/MG/Triumphs etc. but also lurking amongst the Bards township was an Aventador Roadster (first one I've seen), a white Countach Anniversary, 308 GTS and a Black 599 and a terrific DS convertible thumb

Same here!!

Some cracking cars. The owner of the Aventador fired it up and gave it some beans. Nearly made my ears bleed!!

The Red and white VW camper was a minter smile

I think my favourite was the orange Spitfire. It was the same colour as my first ever car, a 1971 Herald 1360 smile

Nice one bezzer - shame we could have had a mini-meet!
I only just caught the Aventador as he was leaving - first car I saw and he nearly ran me over walking up Bridge Street.
Good to see a X1/9 there too
