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.

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

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.

Yesterday, an Aston Martin DB5 on the A66 heading away from Penrith, and an E-Type Jag near Ullswater in the lakes. ......and you didn't pop in for a cup of tea? Stan - I searched long and hard for a town called Fatal a traction again, even asked in the local tourist information centre but got a funny look. I did however pass through locked in the doghouse, but it seems you are no longer there  Difficult man to trace...

He replied speed 12, i did take a picture of it but all you can see is spoiler

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!

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!
