In Clevedon today, line astern outside a church - Pagani Zonda, Ferrari F40, Rolls Phantom.

Talk about taking your cars in for a service...

Can any one beat this as a "spotted"? - petrolhead gatherings such as Grands Prix, rallies, Virginia Water do not count, neither do "obvious" places for mega-cars to gather eg Monaco, St Tropez, Modena, etc.

Think you'll find they are all owned by the same person.

Doesn't really matter. Just take my word for it. It's no one famous, merely a complete and utter petrolhead.

I think you are right - he is a friend of friends - but Mum's the word as to his identity!

Also clocked another Zonda on the eastbound Wilts section of the M4 yesterday morning. They're getting terribly common!

The owner of the above mentioned exotica, owns B&L. I've used their services before & I'm currently using them for the HSV accident. Good co. to deal with.

Are you thinking of www.tangentperformance.co.uk - If so, then no, these cars aren't his.

Was quite proud of this one, www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=136235. The 612 was brand new at the time and was the first I'd seen.

Not quite so glamorous, but an interesting & unusual spotted.
Saw a silver Delorean on the A37 (Temple Cloud) 2 Sundays ago.
