A friend at work has just got herself a new (1 year old) Jeep because she's now got a bigger horse, so needs a bigger horse box & bigger car to pull it. Do you have to tow a Doggie Box, or will they fit in the back, Inky?

They fit in the back - all five of them ;D and they can't get in my bit at the front so I will be able to offer people lifts like a normal person as the seats will be free from dog hair, mud, sand, slobber etc  |

I did some serious car spotting at the weekend! I went to a motor festival and saw this gorgeous Lambo...  this ferrari...  and this beautiful Aston Martin DB5 (which I think has been in a Bond film...)  Along with the car spotting, I did some people spotting... Here's Quentin Willson, with Herbie. He used to be a presenter on Top Gear, back in the day.  And then we watched Russ Swift perform some amazing stunts, it was such a good show! Russ has been on Top Gear a couple of times, and in my favourite Clarkson DVD - No Limits!  |

Was in Isle of Wight and saw several Fiat 500's, saw loads of Aston Martins, Sport type cars galore. This looks like Trafford Centre TeeGee? It's actually the Cheshire Oaks shopping centre, in Ellesmere Port, near Chester. There's quite a lot of nice shops there, and the most delicious noodle bar! Adco, yes, isn't the Aston gorgeous?! I want one! |

I saw something shocking outside work the other night...  No, your eyes do not deceive you - yes, it *is* a TVR Tuscan that doesn't have the trick, oily puddle, paint job! It looks quite subtle in silver (for a TVR!). |

It looks quite subtle in silver (for a TVR!). It probably broke down as it was being parked. That's why it's adandoned across the white lines ;D (Very nice though. I've always had a soft spot for TVRs. My brother in law had one back in the mid 80s) |

More car-spotting success for me this week.  On Friday evening, I was on my way to work, and as I walked down St James's Street, I looked to my right, across the road, and parked on the other side was a rather good-looking performance car with white paintwork. A few seconds later it dawned on me just what the car was...it was a Bugatti Veyron!!!  ;D  The following day, on reading my copy of the latest TG magazine, I discovered that there is only one all-white Veyron in the entire world...!! ;D |

That has to be an excellent bit of spotting, XJ!

Today there was a group of teenage boys (mine included) looking a a car parked about 2 houses from our church. They were arguing about what it was. I said "Porsche Boxster". They said no so I told them to walk down and look at it. I was right! One of my son's friends said he couldn't believe that a mom would know that, lol. It was silver with red interior, very nice but sitting under a huge tree with top down so I can imagine it got full of leaves and bird droppings. I think it's owner was attending the church across the street from ours which is odd because it is a very orthodox "old school" church of the same denomination of ours, mostly older people and I can't fathom one of them owning a Porsche!

It wasn't bad, was it?!! ;D What threw me a bit was the fact that it was white. That's why it took me a few seconds to realise what it was!  It was a somewhat unexpected colour for a Veyron. |

Another one from the "nice cars what I have seen" section on my phone... I took this on my way to London in May, before the Alfa challenge happened, funnily enough  It is such a pretty, pretty car. I want one. Tonight's TG has not put me off! |

There's a very nice silver Jag XK in our car park at the moment. I wonder who it belongs to and if they're single...

As a complete numpty on petrol head matters, starting to look at these things, have this to offer. Today saw a Eunos Roadster in carpark at work, a Maserati, in Kingston town centre, a Pontiac of some sort in Teddington. No idea how sad or impressive this is to some of you! Had never heard of the Eunos before though, wikipedia tells me it's only a Mazda |

Post by adco on Jul 8, 2008 21:51:14 GMT
The Eunos is the same as the Mazda MX5 or Miata. And no I didn't know that I looked it up on wikipedia too! Miata's are sweet cars. One of my friends has one and their loads of fun to drive.

Someone down the road from me has a Eunos. It looks ready to fall apart |

Yet another Audi R8 - this time a silver one going north on the M6 at junction 12. I thought they were only bringing 200 into the UK? Either it was more than that or the people that own them get around a lot. I keep seeing the bloomin' things everywhere. I even overtook this one today - it was pulling out (not off ;D) of the motorway services so not going too fast. He overtook me pretty quick |

I saw an Austin Healey 3000 mkIII today on the way to work. It was gorgeous, but I couldn't get a photo because the weather was rubbish. But if I spot it again, I will It was much like the one in this advert, though...  |

Saw a brand new Lotus Elise on way back from mums next to me in the outside lane, when I looked again it must have turned off and there was a Carrera instead.
