Guys, I really need to know what this is! It's weird that it doesn't have a plate. So it must drive... slower than 20 miles?  Anyway, what it says on the sides is that you get that ride when your ride is at the garage.  |

Anyway, what it says on the sides is that you get that ride when your ride is at the garage. It's a Renault Twizy According to Wikipedia - "The Renault Twizy is a battery-powered two-seated electric vehicle, legally classified in Europe as a heavy quadricycle (light quadricycle for the lower-powered Urban 45 model) produced by Renault and manufactured entirely in Valladolid, Spain. The Twizy has a maximum range of 100 km (62 mi)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Twizywww.renault.co.uk/cars/electric-vehicles/twizy/twizy/ |

I've had an amazing run of car spotting here in Cardiff over the last few weeks, but the latest one was probably the best yet...  Here's a Lamborghini Gallardo outside my office.  And here's a Ford Mustang - I saw it around Cardiff quite a bit last summer, and I've seen it a couple of times in the last week or two, but it's on Qatari plates...  Crack out the false moustaches and bikini-clad ladies... it's a Jensen Interceptor that appeared in my office car park for no reason at all  And here's what I saw when I got off the bus this morning...  Yes, it is a Lamborghini Aventador LP700, and it was driving through the middle of Cardiff in the rush hour. Talk about being in the right place at the right time! The colour is stunning and the photo doesn't do it justice - it's called Blue Cepheus, and it's a subtle metallic but it's a rich colour, like a clear sky on a summer day. I was a bit stressed this morning, but it cheered me right up. Sounded lush too! |

You've a good run Wy! The Aventador.....beautiful colour. Would have thought it too "soft" but no. Wonderful. And I adore the Jensen. Now where did I put that bikini!!  |

You have had a run of luck.Seems your office is in a prime place. I've seen quite a few Fiat 500's here in Albuquerque and a few Boxsters. The unusual thing is 2 of them didn't even have the name on them, just the Porsche badge. I usually see a metallic orange Gallardo but haven't this year. To paraphrase James "It's good news" hopefully. We are in the running to build a battery plant for Tesla. Plenty of room in the desert. Maybe Top Gear can come here and check it out if we get the plant. It could bond them after the nasty incident.

It's quite bizarre actually - there were four or five Mustangs running around Cardiff last summer, so maybe they'll all start coming out again soon. I see so many Porsches that I hardly notice them any more, apart from the beautiful classic Carrera I sometimes see in town and covet deeply, and I saw three Bentleys (two Continentals and a Flying Spur) yesterday too, but until that Gallardo rumbled past, I hadn't seen a single Lamborghini - the only supercar I'd spotted was a bright yellow Ferrari 458 last year. And then the Aventador was like an early birthday present, a week ahead of time |

Wow...I love that blue Aventador! I was out shopping this afternoon, and I spotted this parked on the street...  |

That is a lovely Jeep - used to dream of having one of those when I was a teenager. There used to be a showroom that specialised in unusual and classic cars and they had one that I used to ogle.

Yep. Although my coworker said the markings weren't accurate, it's still really cool. It would be a blast to drive around town in an old Jeep! I work at a military museum and we have a stash of working vehicles (mainly WWII and Vietnam, they're currently working on restoring a WWI truck). I'm trying to sell my workplace on making a Top Gear-style video about our vehicles, haha. |

I actually saw a Range Rover Evoque today. I remember doing his test at Death Valley and picking up "Cher".I recognized it by the rear end. Just as I am leaving Abq soon it figures I start seeing more imports than before.I think that video would be a good idea.

Well I tell you I did not believe my eyes today when there was an AMG sl63 in front of me. A convertible no less with New Mexico plates. We just don't see them here. Can someone tell me a way to tell if it was a black? The car was silver.Very wide.
