Somewhat off the beaten track, I spotted a Rover P6B in Dornoch.
(Difficult to tell if it was on the road or not). Dull yellow colour.

Also saw a late MGB headed south on the A9 near Dunbeath.

Ha...my wife's uncle used to be the headmaster of the school there....

A few good spots yesterday on the way to Oxford on the M25 and M40....

First was V12 HRO. I'm not one for plates generally butthis was on a black Ferrari....a 599 I think. Looked a bit odd from the back, seemed estate-ish like a reliant scimtar.

Then we saw a yellow and blue striped car with the number MU55TNG....on yes you guessed it, a new model Ford Mustang. Sounded wicked as it went past us on the M40.

Then in Oxford a saw an 11 plate DB9 with some special bonnet vent treatment and a matte gunmetal finish that looked distinctly stealthy. Anti radar trap paint maybe?It looked like it was doing 100 mph just parked up!!!

Today it had to be an immaculate Jowett Javelin in maroon. What a lovely car and the best one of those Ive ever seen.

Are you sure that was a DB9 and not a V12 Vantage Jonners?
9's don't really get bonnet vents, unless the owner decides to disagree with AM. Whereas the Vantage gets loads, it's only meant to have the V8 in it after all.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Spotted a MK2 Cavalier this morning on the way to work. When was the last time you saw one of those?

It could well have been...thinking about it, it was quite short, so would have been the 2 seater as the 9 is 4 and a bigger GT thing isn't it?

This mornings spot was an aerial atom complete with helmeted driver. And the usual collection of tailgating and weaving cretins on the M4. Its a wonder things like the M5 nightmare dont happen more often.
