Had a good lot last night - all within 10 mins of town driving near me

- Two new Merc CLS AMGs (look very nice, best looking three-pointed star in a while IMO. Sound ace too, lovely burble from the V8)

- New Maserati Quattroporte (tasty woman driving too, always a bonus)

- Dark grey Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (thought it was pig ugly when it came out, but it's growing on me)

Just thought I'd share that with you

Wonder where we all go wrong

2 4 TEA Cracking personal plate that!

With the Run to the Sun traffic passing by me, I saw the funniest sight yesterday - A Cut and Shut VW camper van - Looked like it had a smaller wheelbase than a bedford Rascal. But looked cool with it. Like a "Smart" VW Camper.

At the risk of banging on like an old f*rt, I've got two cars that turn heads, not counting my Skoda, and neither of them cost a fortune. Get something classic, and you'll know people are looking at your car and thinking "Mmmm I've always loved those", even if it didn't cost 60 grand. Gives a nice warm feeling, as well as being fun to drive

My car turns heads, but it really annoys me because i bought it because I like it, it drives well and its my mode of transport. Others just see it as an object of desire or talking point. I hate that attention :(.

All that said i did see 4 CLS AMG's last week in stoke area, and then 2 SL55AMG today, one decided he wanted to go fast.... and what a sound it made

SL AMG's actually make the ground shake....

Walking past a bar on the quayside in Newcastle on Thursday evening, four cars in a row which I thought made a tasty combination:

DB9

M3 Conv

F430 Spider

DB9

Stood and stared for a good 30 secs or so! Was especially impressed to see two DB9s in one place, and the Ferrari looked very tasty.

Near the Pitcher and Piano by any chance?

Saw a lamourghini Countash last night and probably more interesting a 450 bhp Subaru Impreza, might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the acceleration (in car ) was immense, 0-100 around 11 secs, and then the noise...

And just to top it all off, the boss of our company has just laid his hands on a new BMW 745i supercharged Hamann, 05 plate with 200 miles on the clock, mainly RR work.

I love a nice standard Mini personally. I'm like Nick I guess, old fart. But he's right, Ferrari's are great but sometimes a car worth just a few k is something special too.

Probably the quickest ugliest car so far... :P

My neighbour works for Porsche GB. His business card reads "Carrera GT and 959 specialist". Before I knew him the only 959 I'd seen was in a showroom around 1990...

On Saturday there were three 959s he had to take out *sigh*. Not a job I think I could ever tire of - I know he hasn't!!

I saw a Ferrari Enzo on saturday around the back lanes of Ongar. Very nice.
