I saw one in Amsterdam at the weekend. It was parked next to the canal on charge.

It's a nice shape overall but there are a few cheap looking bits of chrome I wouldn't have expected on a car at this price.

Interior is very cool though.

Yes there were cheap bits like the front grille. I suspect that is the American influence.

Great to see proper alternatives to combustion engines on the roads though.

20 years ago I so wanted an Audi 200 Quattro Turbo Avant, based on the original aero Audi 100. They were rare enough back then, so tempted the flag down the one following me yesterday through High Wycombe

Back in the day 170bhp in an estate car was astonishing, mid 80s RS6 equivalent

yep, and cars were lighter back then, so the probably felt pretty nippy.

Saw an Aventador crossing the roundabout at Jack Straw's Castle in Hampstead yesterday afteroon. Black with yellow brake calipers.

They've got a bit of presence haven't they.

Met a BMW i8 yesterday.

Didn't get to see it properly, but it looked great. Not like the fugly BMW i3...

Spotted and Alfa RZ out and about today.

Saw an Aston Martin Rapide S yesterday.

It was a bit bigger than I expected an Aston to be, and then I noticed it had four doors.

Lovely little thing.

I had another spin out in my Bro-in-Laws works Rapide S from Gaydon the other week.....
Nice Ferrari California going through Warwick Market Square yesterday afternoon and my new neighbour pulled up to say hello last night after he spotted my 'collection' as a fellow Petrolhead in his newly acquired Audi R8 GT - drive and photos to follow

Was in Portofino, Italy, a couple of weeks back (returned to Oz last Wednesday) and saw 20 Ferraris (the oldest being a 455) and 3 Maseratis drive into the piazza.

They were all French and on a factory tour.

Of course, saw many other "exotics", especially those being road tested around Maranello.

Whilst I was in Sorrento, members of the Napoli Classic Car Club were also there with a great variety of cars on display.

Fiat 600 multipla in a garage among about 10 old school 500s in a garage in Swindon of all places.
I am not sure why, but I want one....of each.

Spotted my first BMW i8 yesterday in Coventry......

Nice Quattro Coupe going through Solihull by Lode Lane and spotted my first Jag XE yesterday in Warwick - looked pretty bland TBH

288GTO lurking up and down my road today, not the usual suspect driving it, and not seen it before

Lamborghini galardo I think! In Kettering coming out of tescos or perhaps Aldi! on Sunday!

So jealous! I'd be out licking the wheels.

I saw an old Jaguar XJS (late 80's I suspect) gathering a lot of dust/sand along the highway from Muscat to Sohar in Oman, oh, and a black Fiat 500, hardly rare in the UK, but an oasis of Italiana amongst the bland and non-descript Asian cars that are everywhere over here, even German cars are pretty rare!

Other day driving to work I spotted a blue C reg Metro 1.3L, a red Lancia Beta MonteCarlo, and a massively unpleasant Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder *bleurgh*

In a week when MrsC has been asked by the GT40 Owners' Club if they can use her painting of one of "their" cars in their magazine, what should we see coming slowly up the road in the next village this morning? One of Henry's finest creations, which then disappeared into a nearby drive. A bit of research required there, I think!

A few photos from my ring trip...









plus dozens of GT3 Cups, the odd Ferrari in 458 flavour and others.

Seeing the advertising poster in that last photo reminded me that we stayed in Adenau for a week a few years back.

Didn't take a car, instead did the tourist thing by trains and boats on the Rhine.

Couple of weeks hols and spotted a nice couple of 458 Italias' including a lovely white one on the A45 near Brum Airport...... but also saw my first Huracan just down from me going up the Kenilworth Road from Coventry - also in white and stunning...

White BMW i8 parked across the road from the Komedia in Bath last night. Speculation by John Bramwell of I Am Kloot that it belonged to Welsh thesp and "bad boy" Rhys Ifans was denied. " off!" were his actual words.

KTM Xbow in Lechlade tonight. Looked cool....but v cold!

Spotted the current Camaro this morning on the Solihull to Warwick road - Looked huge .........

Followed one of these home yesterday in Sindelfingen. Loud and strikingly different.

I saw one on Monday just outside Leamington. Looked MAHOOSIVE!!!!!

Just to lower the tone even further: I saw an old Humber Septic Sceptre the other day.

Was it Grey bezzer? Could've been the same one.... MAhoosive indeed!

Yes Nello, it was a grey one. Fugly as hell.
