I've seen Priuses like that around here sometimes. Not the most attractive cars in the world.  However, what I saw today was a bit more aesthetically pleasing. It was a bright red classic Fiat 500, with an old J reg number plate. That puts it in the late 1960s to early 1970s time frame, I think. If ever there was a car that could, legitimately, be referred to as 'cute', it was this one! ;D |

Today whilst walking home from school, by myself, in the rain, I was minding my own business when this car drove into a puddle and lucky me was standing next to it at the time. I got soaked. I yelled, "AUCH FUR FU...." then stopped and let my mouth drop open as a shiny black Lamborghini Murcielago sped away down the road. I feel privileged to be splashed by the tires of such beauty  |

Well, if you're going to be drenched by a passing car, you may as well do it in style!  ;D Unfortunately, when I found myself similarly soaked the other day, the offending car was a bog-standard hatchback. Oh well... |

True, but all in all, I reckon it's better than not seeing it at all! ;D

If you were minding your own business and he hadn't splashed you, you might not have noticed it!

I always get splashed by builder's trucks. Or Ford Orions.
Boring stuff.

I remember when Orions first came out the name badge was done in a very 80s style of lettering where the top part of the letters was cut off. It looked like it said "Onion", so that car has been and always shall be the Ford Onion to me ;D

I saw a Turbo, Carrera and Targa Porsche and countless Boxsters. A Bentley Continental, Aston Martin DB5 and DB9, Jag E-type, XK and XF, an old Volvo, Jag mark II (I think) and there was another but can't remember. ;D I like car spotting  |

I seen a silver Lamborghini Muira which had beached itself in the middle of the huge deep puddle at the corner of the street.  Took me a while to realise what it was, I was like, "A Lama..Lamaba....Lamborghini!.." |

On leaving work tonight, I saw a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It was identical to the one that Richard drove in the lightweight supercars film on TG. ;D
It was the same bright green colour, and it had the same large rear spoiler and the words 'GT3 RS' on the side. The only difference was the registration number.

The only difference was the registration number. Great looking car. And clearly owned by someone with enough money to afford a slightly less comfortable ride. Mind you, I suspect I'd do the same, in his shoes. I do think aesthetically the Gallardo Superleggera (as driven by Jeremy in the same film) is the best looking of the whole of a very good looking series, even if it is hardest on your bottom. |

Blimey, that's one hell of a car! I saw a grey Ferrari 612 Scaglietti just after I left work tonight. I haven't seen one of those for some time. It sounded rather good as well! ;D |

Saw a gorgeous dark metallic grey Jaguar XKR Coupe on the way to uni. I really, really like them. A 4.2 supercharged V8 is a terrible thing to trap at traffic lights in the middle of a city centre - that big cat needs to be prowling over the moors scaring the sheep |

I remember The photos were lovely, though I recall having a weird and vivid dream about James driving one and not being able to go to the Douglas Bader Tea Rooms as taking a Messerschmitt there was inappropriate ;D |

I always get splashed by builder's trucks. Or Ford Orions. Boring stuff. *laughs manically* That reminded me. The other day, I saw an old* white Ford Orion down the lanes where I live. It was parked up, so, naturally, I got out and had a nosy whilst the owner wasn't there.** It had blue LED lights in the grill, it looked like a DIY job had been done on the covertable roof, it had a body kit, loads of those irritating little dangly things you hang from the rear view mirror (mainly shoe airfreshners and fluffy dice, so I'm guessing a girl owned it) and a rear spolier! *When I say old, I mean rusty and almost falling apart. Like one of the earliest Orions built. Stupidly, I never looked at the number plate. **If you own an interesting or weird vehicle and return to it to find a strange person looking around it. It's probably me ;D |
