Hiss @ the Smart Roadster!
No offence - I'd probably quite like it myself, except t'other half's very clingy ex girlfriend has one. That makes it a bad car, IMO.

I saw my best friend's Jag parked outside her house while we dropped her husband off after lunch, since he needed to get MOT on his car. If I have to replace the Old Lady (my Vauxhall), that's what I want or the 2007 Audi TT.

Is the 2007 TT the facelifted one that looks a bit like a baby R8? I'm not a fan of the TT, but I love that version  |

It does make me think of my son when he was a newborn. I know that's a strange description, but I think that's one of the reasons I like it as far as looks go. I'm not sure how it drives, but Jeremy seemed to like it.

I saw a rather lovely old Bristol while I was out tonight. Dark red, with chrome bumpers and trim. Very nice.  |

There's something weird going on in my neighbourhood.
There are now three Eunos Roadsters buzzing around, one white, one silver and one bright blue.
What's weird about this? If you live t'other side of the pond, you'll know the Eunos Roadster as the Mazda Miata. This side of the pond, you'll be familiar with it as the MX-5. Oddly, the Eunos Roadster is the branding that it is sold under in Japan (Eunos being a sub-marque of Mazda geared towards the luxury market, much as Toyota's Lexus and Nissan's Infiniti marques). And oddly, all three of them are first generation NA models - you can tell because only the NA has retractable headlights!
All the lovely luxury cars have stopped stalking me now though. I'm most disappointed.

Normal service has been resumed.
Dark blue Morgan on the way to work, but it might have been the one I saw a couple of weeks ago. However, the dark blue Mustang I saw on the way home is a new sighting for me ;D

I saw something Richard would love yesterday - one of the 'cross eyed' Morgans he loves so much.
It's the first time I ever saw one not on the TV, and I'm afraid I didn't like it very much.....sorry.

I didn't actually see this car, but didn't know where else to post this. I was at a Volvo dealership Friday as, after a 5 year fling, I've a longing to return to my beloved Swedish boxes. Any how I told the salesman that I've dealt with for 15 years that I wanted something small. He said "Small? You should see what I had traded in the other day. Do you remember Opel Cadets?" Turns out someone had traded one in on a new Saab! I didn't ask how much they valued it at, but he said it was sold the next day! My husband didn't know what he was talking about so I said "Oliver," and he said "Oh!" Then sadly nobody else knew what the two of us were talking about. |

Aww... you could have had an Oliver of your own if you'd been there a few days earlier!

I saw an ugly, old, red three-wheeled Robin in Brandon on my way home today. I'll repeat this in the ugly section too.

One of these - a Vauxhall VX220 - was parked outside the cinema when I left work tonight. A bright red one, just like this  BTW, if you think it looks rather Lotus Elise - like, it was designed and built for Vauxhall/Opel by Lotus, so that isn't all that surprising It's probably more surprising that it's a Vauxhall! It's a lot more interesting than the Chevette, anyway... |

Nice! Looks like the flashy cars are stalking you again!  ;D Ye gods, don't remind me of Chevettes! My dad had a saloon version from work when I was a kid. I have never, ever been so sick in a car as I was in that one!   |

I saw a Porsche 928 on the M25 yesterday, and a couple of Lotuses during my journey today. I also saw a Bentley Continental GT at some point today. Not too bad! |

I saw a Bentley Brooklands and guess what, it was a taxi. Now he can pick me up any day.

Saw a Maybach 57S outside of Baltimore today. There's one stretch of road there I drive a lot and I always see nice cars - the Maybach, tons of Lotuses and where I saw the Noble a few weeks back.

I have just been sitting in a Chrysler 300. What a beautiful car is that. I was walking around in town with my mom and stepfather when we saw the car. Me and my stepfather just had a look around the car when the owner came back. After we talked for a few minutes he ask me if I wanted to sit in it and I did ;D for people that don't know what a Chrysler 300 is here is a picture from google  |
