I sometimes drive down St John's Wood High Street on my way home and you can see that lot and more in the space of 400yards.

Did see a very lovely Z8 on the way home tonight.
A beautiful beemer - that's rare enough.

Plymouth Prowler, driver looking lost in the car park outside work this morning. Doubt there are too many of those in the UK.

I've seen two prowlers in the last two weeks.
Some people can just brazen anything out.

Nice little bonus on the way into work this morning. Shelby Mustang GT500 outside my gym then literally round the corner outside Landmark Hotel/Marylebone station was a matt black Lamborghini Murcielago. Don't know if LP640 version but looked very mean in that colour.

Yesterday I spotted loads of nice cars. Orange Lamborghini Diablo on A43 near silverstone. F40 near Northampton, 2 E-type jags near Wellingborough and then a 355...

The F40 was gunning it too! - sadly he was on the other side of the road.

I did however pass through locked in the doghouse, but it seems you are no longer there smile

Bright orange Zonda - top off - this morning driving through Burpham away from Guildford. Made me laugh for 2 reasons, 1 - It was pouring with rain and 2 - It had a headlight out! laugh

Now that would be very impressive if it is a Speed 12, I believe they made 2 only and one of which was respired and re-registered a few times to look as if it was a different car so that TVR could run one in GT championship (So they could meet the regs requiring X amount of cars built).

Last time a read that there is only one left as the other was wrote off on the track. I love my Tuscan but a Speed 12 would be quite a different beast! The engine is based on two speed six engines bolted together (oops I’m dribbling…)

Saw an original (60s/70s?) Lotus Europa driving near Wandsworth on Saturday. Looked to be in fair nick from a distance. I remember having a Corgi model of one of those as a kid!
