Default Exotica of the day...

Today I drove across the country and saw a few nice rare cars, as you do, and thought I'd share. (None of my friends here in Bristol are petrolheads so I need an outlet ).

So, I saw...

Ferrari 430
Old Rolls Royce (looked like a Silver Shadow)
Ferrari 458 Italia
Ferrari 348
Corvette (Z06?)
Aston Martin DBR (not counting the common DB9s)
And a Merc SLS convertible!

What did you see today?


P.S. Porsches don't count, unless it's something special like a Carrera GT or GT3 RS

Saw a new Ferrari GTO the other day at J17 of the M25 - couple of young blokes doing some filming with GoPros. I was going round and round bedding in my new Dixcels...

This thread is useless without pics, so here are some





Ferrari FF (2012)

Ferrari FF interior

Ferrari GTO (2011)


A ferrari I detailed a year or so ago, won concourse at Meguiars show last year as well.


Ferrari Enzo


and Steve McQueens original Ferrari Lusso, probably the rarest and most valuable of them all



I sat in each of them, and polished most of them.

Paul you are such a Fezza tart
Dropped my AM in for a bit of warranty work Thursday and had a good clamber of a 458, California and 430 Scuderia.
Loved the Scuderia
I can see me looking at a 16M or 458 spider in a couple of years.

Saw a yellow 430 spider today with the top down. Two young lads in it (no older than 25!). It looked awesome in the flesh in (like yellow S2ks)

Gotta say that FF looks like a Phallus on wheels

I guess my non-special Clubsport doesn't count On a serious note, people get really excited about the RS when it's just got plastic windows and a few bits missing

Saw my mates 458 yesterday - that counts!

You know what I mean. Boxters and everyday 911s. The things you see everyday...

Here's another, although they're fairly popular, saw 4 on this particular day.
