Not liking the tints or the wheels but still cooooooooooool.. Reg plate was a nice clean touch too.

Ok, seen some tasty metal this morning.

First up, it's the original Simon Templar mobile, the Volvo P1800:

...and then I glanced up a side street to see this menacing face;

I've never seen a BMW E12 M535i before, it's usually the later E28s that have survived.
This is awesome, and rolling on frankly comical 205/70/14 tyres that looked as old as the rest of the car.

Just seen something truly amazing, never even knew about these - really elegant!
Cool colour too.

Fiat Dino 2400

Neil - Saw this exact car on Friday driving through Poplar, one of the best looking cars i've seen, especially in Brown! thought it was an old Datsun at first and couldnt work out why it had Ferrari style wheels then I remembered the above pic.

10/10 for cool

This Porka was parked in my local Tesco this afternoon. The wife took the pic. All I can tell you is the car is white and the wheels are described as 'wicked'.
She wants a pair like this for her 190.

I was driving through central london on saturday and the London - Riviera rally was passing the other way, I quickly grabbed my camera and got these; they're not very good as I had to just point and shoot, but some nice cars:

There were quite a few other nice cars around later but my camera was in the boot.

Is that a gold-chrome Veyron? Sweet!

As for the blue BMW 5-series on Yank-style 100 spokes.... the owner should be slapped.... hard! Perhaps the guy in the background is scratching his head as to how someone could be so foolish at put those things on that car?

Stumbled across a Brabus K8 SL this morning.
It still had AMG brakes and 'V8 Kompressor' badges, so I guess it began life as an SL55 AMG.

I was really quite underwhelmed when it finally started up. Sounded like an old Range Rover, probably couldn't pull the skin off a rice pud.

Didn't manage to get a picture of it, but I saw an N400 Aston Martin V8 Vantage coupe, the other day on the M11.

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;
