Having already an mx5 spotted thread i thought it'd be fun to just keep an eye out for other cars of interest.
Like the Zonda you see regularly parked outside the chippy every friday night

Like, last summer a bundle of us were in south Wales. I was separated from the gang for a time but came across this piece of zoomy droppage

wi teeny weeny back window
well, am sure hood will be down most of the time so it won't matter

this piece of very drop-top which hangs around with a similar but in wow green

motorway services last June off the M42... or 40....

a bit more local to home

[the old and the new]

a bit of a cheat since this is my step-pa's but he's given it on long term loan to his son..... cos he loves his Eunos

and that which finally prompted me to create this thread..... making it a TVR hat-trick

TESCO car park, Newtown - yesterday
Confession ~ i love the two classic TVRs but the Cerbera does very little for me.
If the driver had fired her up.... i may've changed my mind

Ok a few friends cars....

 

[Jot]

i saw a cayman s in llan'dod TESCO a couple of months ago but didn't take a photo
The only modern Porsche that i like... esp. in white

 

[MJL]

I'm sorry but I am a sucker for an E-Type... any E-Type. This car was on a run in Melbourne with the MGCC last month.

This one was on an MGCC run in Queensland. They are fabulous cars but an MX-5 is so much cheaper to run...

They look super cool Martin but have to agree give me a 5 any day :thumbsup:

The red E-type has just had a new bonnet and 'tidy up' which cost tens of thousands of dollars more than my car cost!

i like e types but have never had the desire to own one
Saw an XKR (cheers Capt) drop-top parked up in Ludlow.
Later on in day saw an E-type about 100 metres from it
Earlier, saw an Aston... No. plate OO05AML... in a dirty bronze colour.

You're so lucky Jot, Ludlow is so evocative with its Castle ruins and sixteenth century architecture that it is the ideal place for another piece of English history... the E-Type.

And a load of mx5's tomorrow

 

[MJL]

Perfect! Hope the weather is great.

 

[Jot]

had brill time and, just for you, some e-typery, MJL

all had a large made-up daffodil so it's one of the daffodil classic car runs but can't find anything on the web, atm

 

[MJL]

MGs, Austin Healeys, Daimlers, Triumphs, Jaguars, a proper Vauxhall and a Sunbeam Alpine in Lake Blue (?) - a very respectable rally indeed! Thank you!

 

[Jot]

thought you may like 'em, MJL

 

[MJL]

That was very considerate. Thank you again.

 

[Jot]

No worries :thumbsup:
a small cheat follows
the corvette in which i rode shotgun for a quick spin last year in Pennsylvania

and
including the chauffeur.... Bob

the noise is quite phenomenal

 

[safaristu]

Now giving me or Ali the keys to the above would be a good idea :rofl:

 

[MJL]

What is it about the Corvette Stingray which really is visually exciting? Perhaps it is because looks fast and powerful, and it is.

You know with tyres like that you can really burn some rubber :roflmao:

If you want some lovely E-Type pictures MJL, have a look here, I took these pictures as they drove through the office in February this year

Picture next to the statue of Sir William Lyon and the Jaguar Leaper over the office door
