Ha ha.

Anyway back to this planet. Sort of.

Que? You might say. The above was in response to some sillyness about organ size a page or two back - guess I should've read the rest of the thread before posting!

Living in Wilmslow I get to see quite a few "everbody stops/gawps/drives into back of each other" sights on the roads.

Saw a yellow (yellow for god's sake!) F50 in my local pub carpark a while back.

And an F40 rumbling through Alderley Edge yesterday.

Also spotted occasionally are a Diablo roadster, a couple of AM Vanquishes and a couple of Bentley Continentals amongst the hundreds of 360s, 550s and 911s...

The best time/place for seeing truly awesome stuff on the road is Goodwood or the old Coys festival at Silverstone. In one w/e at Silverstone (which we spent in a very nice Merc S-Class loaned by a friend), we followed a Ferrari Daytona, a Diablo, a D-Type, but best of all had a real blast down to the Green Man chasing a 250GTO.

And also at Coys (a year later I think), we found Nick Mason and his mates in the campsite. Two fullsize Winnebago RVs parked to form an 'L' shape. Lined up in the 'L' were 3 cars in gunmetal grey... a 993 Turbo, an Aston Martin Vantage and a McLaren F1. Which was nice.
