Followed a nice black 13 plate Aston Vantage yesterday. Clearly someone doesnt feel the pinch....good for them. The noise lifted my spirits.

Whilst collecting project SB yesterday I saw a McLaren MP4/12C southbound on the M40 and northbound, a proper AC Cobra (69 vintage), a vey tidy early seventies Morgan +8 and a very sad looking pimento red 77 Spitfire on a trailer behind a Discovery. This last combo and I exchanged places and merry greetings several times between Wycombe and Warwick.

Here's my efforts from the past week!
Herald was in a fantastic original condition, whereas the 500 was restored to perfection!
Aventador just sounded awesome, it was being followed by a Ford F-150 on air ride too, but I missed that.

On this same day, I also saw an 80's 911 turbo, and a minty mint BGT in burgandy - lovely!

Out and about today enjoying the sunshine, I chose to park next to this Lotus:

And then a bit later, a photo opportunity not to be missed to have my car taken with this very early 2 door Toledo (which I have posted here before):

(still to meet the owner though).

I saw this 1973 Peugeot 504 convertable pulling into an office complex in Canary Wharf today, I did a Google to find out a bit more about it and found the ad selling the very same car.

Very nice....

Sort of French Stag....should have made it right hand drive originally. They probably didnt because of the Stag, bit like Fiat not bothering with a rhd
124 spider cos of the MGB.
