This is where we can put our sightings of interesting cars. I wasn't sure where else to put it,, but as HH have a similar thread I thought it would be cool to have one here. Been a busy old day car spotting and what a day for traffic jams. Bentley Continental GT, Bentley Arnage, Ferrari F360 or F430 (barrier got in the way), an old Porsche, Triumph TR4 (I think), Triumph Stag and Nissan Figaro in pale blue. In car show rooms we looked at VW Phaeton, out of curiosity, a cabriolet Focus, which was just weird, VW Golf was like driving a inside a dustbin (for the passenger), and an orange Ford Focus ST, the orange is magic!! On the way back, A TRIUMPH HERALD in brown, very excited about that. Then a few Boxsters and a Cayman cabriolet, and a Caterham. Other than that, a quiet day  EDIT and a Mitsubishi Colt  |

I saw an Orange Lambo parked in a very scrotty town the other day... I was shocked to say the least!

Audi R8 in black ;D It was hidden away in a marquee at Thundersprint most of the day, and I found it when I was wandering around after the Spitfire flypast. However, we went to the paddock at the end of the event and it was out of the marquee waiting to go back to wherever it came from. So XJ and I ran all around it getting excited and MF took photos. Then came the best it - the bloke came to drive it away. Oh, the sound of that engine... it might be a bit Teutonic and a bit soulless, but it sounded beautiful - and in motion it looked evil!  |

When I first saw stills of GINA I thought it was one of the most spectacularly awful looking cars I'd seen in ages, even though the concept was brilliant. However, now I've seen this, I think I want one |

I will never be able to post on here, but I can still enjoy as I love cars. although I can see only ONE car on here!!
If we are going to have a car sightings thread can we not only talk but also have pics as some of us are STARVED of nice cars, ( bar the Mazda convertible in the hospital carpark that I still don't know who the owner is - must be a doctor or manager - not a nurse I know for sure).

I would have taken a photo of the Conti GT I saw last night, but I was busy trying not to get run over by it |

Just met Gina!! She would have to be made of Harris Tweed to survive up here. Oh yes, steeped in urine. It's the only way!

There are quite a few Mazda RX8's around here. Those are nice. We go to large cities to see cool cars!

Must be Steve Wright. The TV folk are all over in Wood Lane. |

He's over at the new TV Centre being built. Checking out the plans for the new offices. They move there shortly. Or.... could be an interview at Radio 2. Or...... I can't say though. Too much info already. I have to say I would have to be in a bad way if I resorted to Steve Wright. |

I kind of like it too, though I don't think the doors look right. It looks like the result of an unholy union between a RR and some kind of Porsche. Fun though, but another example of Far Eastern modding, I see |

I could have sworn I posted a comment saying that if it was painted pink it could be Lady Penelope's sports car, but I must have got distracted & not clicked on the post button!

A G-Wiz? MF took the most brilliant photo of one outside the Rolls Royce showroom. It was being 'glared' at through the window by a Phantom (I think) in similar shades of green to the horrid little plastic deathtrap-that-isn't-even-a-car-really |

Feel free to post it, Wy. It's on the PC at home, so I can't do it from here.

It's taken a while but here it is, and I'll allow Mr May to handle the introduction... the most stupid, useless and dangerous car ever to stalk the earth. It is the totally terrible - and disgusting - G-Wiz And yes, it does look that bad on the other side too... here's something approaching the Spirit of Ecstasy's viewpoint (one can only assume she was none-too-ecstatic to have to look at that...)  |
