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 :p

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 :D


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 :D

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
Thank you very much, Ca'p'n.:) I must confess a soft spot for large Jaguar sedans; the Mk 7 is very nice. :smug:I nearly bought a Mk 10 many years ago and always admire them.

As well as all things yellow, I have a very, very soft spot for DeLoreans. I think it very probably stems from Back to the Future, but what ever I have to stop and stare when ever I see one!
Firstly at the NEC Classic Car Show (I was there to work, but that never got in my way of dribbling over gorgeous cars)

you will notice this one has got a Flux Capacitor and everything!!!!! Anyway whilst on the MX5 stand with darling Eric at the Coventry Festival of Motoring this year, I met a friend, who's friend owned one, so was dragged off to inspect, and I couldn't be peeled away!!!
I love the gull wings :)

Now if only i could have bribed him to let me drive it too, the Jelly babies that exchanged hands were only sufficient to let me sit in!

Very cool car was a guy in harborne that had a few of them one even in full back to the future spec!
What's more concerning is you left Eric on a stand at the nec unattended :)
Eric hasn't been tot he Nec YET, I left him unattended at Coventry because, A) Mark and Captain Haddock and Captains wife were guarding him from pushchairs very well, and B) he was actually parked just behind the DeLoran, you can see a few of my MX5ing friends just behind the car in the first picture- and hint of Evies car. This one shows it better.

This does however mean that Eric got a tiny bit jealous and was forced to accidentally churn up some grass on the way out ;)

There are some impressively nice cars in this thread :D If only I had the money to buy the odd one of two!!

That is a very happy smile there Ali :D

Is Eric in line to be included on the OC stand at the NEC this year then?

Needless to say, Eric's keys were firmly on Ali's person at Coventry!!

I recall the grass churning incident although I think it may have been more down to the driver than to Eric ;)

I think, Safetymatch, that is what is called a faux pas. Or something beginning with 'f' anyway. Thank you for sharing it.
LOL!
Bad photo so not putting up but spotted a yellow Chim. in Chesham
Wish i could've heard her properly
however, and again no photo, but trundling south on the M40 i caught sight out of the corner of my eye of a lump of very very fast scaffolding heading north
My first ATOM. Wow!
in case someone has a brainstorm and can not recall what one looks like...... :inlove:

methinks the low bridges in this area will win the battle ;)
Now thats what you need, forget lowering, you wouldnt need to slow down for speed bumps in those!!!!

Red Porsche Carrera and TR4a(BRG) in Llan'dod TESCO cp :cool:
Amongst otehr fairly nice things the one that had me smiling and crying was the yellow vx220
fab exhaust and he'd sorted out his top as well
trouble is we were both on the Dobbies roundabout(Shrewsbury) when we saw the topped mk3.5..... oh the shame :(
Today sharing the same car park as Eric, numerous boring Audis, A Bentley Continental, an Aston Martin in a very disagreeable pale blue, a Ferrari 430 with an unimpressive exhaust and a gorgeous white Lambo may even have been a Murcielago :D Must visit there again soon! Although the food was gorgeous, may need other mortgage to buy drinks though!!!
I bet everyone commented how good Eric looked :giggle:
