Rolls Royce Phantom in Sainsbury’s petrol station Swindon.

Looked fantastic and absolutely enormous - I reckoned I could have got the Liz in the boot!

Anyone else got any outrageous spots?

unfortunately, everyone "in the city" either goes for 996 c2s or S500s

Only an SL55 AMG last night. Saying that not much of a race as for most of the time we were crawling in traffic and when we eventually did get out of the city and into somewhat less congested countryside, he/she seemed more interesting in brake testing me.

Lardy arse...........

Mercedes Maybach in Biscester (sp?) lasy year.

I could have dirven through the radiator grille, through the engine and out of the exhause without touching the sides.

Also saw the factory Aston Martin Vantage (reg AML1) quite a few years ago when coming back home from Uni. It was being driven by a tiny Japanese bloke. We drove along side it for a few miles before he noticed us and put his foot down a bit.

Surprisingly my friends 1.1 Fiesta didnt do a very good job of keeping up

Black Lamborghini Gallardo, Koenigsegg SCC and new Bentley - all on my road in the last few weeks in Barnes, London. I think the guy who owns Modena Cars lives here as he has a different car every week.

The Koenigsegg was just....awesome! RHD too!

If it was black with a German plate, then I saw him drive up and down Clapham High Street about four times last week, possibly thursday.

And Yes it was pretty good.

And Loud.

I've seen a Zonda and XJ220 in the last 6 months. Both cars made my day(s)!

Yet to see a Mac F1 though...

I saw an F1 in the Porsche garage just outside Cambridge a few years ago. It was dark red and absolutley stunning. Went in there with the old man and gott chatting to the sales man. We all just stood there and drooled - Absolutley stunning

Unfortunatley there was no chance of a test drive, despite the cheeky request

I drive by Aston and Jag dealers every day. But the only interesting thing I've seen on the road was the new Roller on an M40 slip road. It was totally out of scale with everything else.
