One of only 240 made! It looked great. Love the V8 Vantage, even the standard car makes the most awesome noise! Here's another great Brit; Noble M12 GTO 3R Fell in love with these things after giving 2 a good bit of stick on track. Shame they suffer from some fairly fundamental issues. One of the cars was often out of action, and they couldn't figure out why. In the end they found out that after washing it, water would get in the fuse box and it'd refuse to start. Would still have one in a heartbeat though.

Definitely not as nice as a 599 GTB, and a true poseur car. I'm not keen, but I'll have one if you're giving them away. 2009 Ferrari California

Was wandering through Regent's Park this afternoon, when I spied two Traffic Wardens getting friendly with a rather muscular Mercedes. Got a bit closer, and it's only a bloody CLK 63 ///AMG Black Series! Seems the German owner has gone to town on it though - non-standard CLK DTM rear wing, and one hell of a Carbon splitter. I had to lie down after seeing this, just too cool for school.

What is, or would be your dream find on the roads of London??

Newbie Posts: 18,242 Group: Members Member #63 Joined: November 18, 2005 Colour / Year / Engine Signal Red 1993 1.8 Auto	Hard to say, I'd probably change my mind every week As Mercs go, I've still never clapped eyes on a genuine 190E Evo-II, I can imagine it drawing quite a crowd in the city. I must say, the Red & Silver Veyron was a real treat and I do enjoy seeing hypercars like Murcielagos and such, particularly if the engines are running. Then again, I got very very excited when I realised there's a white Lotus Elite (Type 14, 1958-63) hiding a few streets away. Will snap it soon, awesome little car. I guess I might pass out if I ever saw an Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, or a genuine Ferrari 250 GTO / 250 SWB / 250 MM / 330 LMB. Strangely, I've seen a 250 GT California in the metal and it confirmed what I thought of it since watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off; not the greatest Ferrari, by some margin.

Jeez, that holiday seems like a distant memory! Porsche 911 Targa 3.0 Fiat 500 Abarth EsseEsse BMW F800 - not normally a bike fan, but this was bad-ass. and last but by no means least, it's the incredible Limited-Edition Lancia Ypsilon F1 Aerodynamico Spectaculare

Not one of those tarted up, over restored examples. Just a good original car,well used and enjoyed. I always hope to bump into him when I go out so that I could have a chat with him, but its never happened yet. Edited by MadMike, Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:54 am.

Its an AMG, and its on USA number plates, Washington to be exact. A beautiful machine, I would love something like that. I wonder why its here, such a long way from home. But whoever owns it they cant be short of money I guess. Edited by MadMike, Tue Nov 24, 2009 11:03 am.
