What's the most fantastic car you've ever seen just drivin' around??

I saw a wonderful sight walking into University today. A silver dart in the shape of an AMG SL55, German plates and an Arab inside. Quite simpley, a stunning car. To the uninitiated eye it resembled the new up-coming McLaren SLR. Indeed, at first glance (from behind) that is just what I thought it was: an undisguised prototype or summat.

Of particular interest were the brakes, the biggest I've seen on any road car. Massive disks the size of most cars wheels. Even with the Z-roof up it looked great.

So what's the best car you've seen lately on public roads just driving around OR, better still, doing something reaaly cool!!

For example, I was in Brussels a few years ago when a scarlet-red F50 came bombing (and I mean TRAVELLING!!) towards us down one of the leafy boulevards there. The noise and the sheer velocity of this thing convinced me on the spot with regards the "F50: is it any good?" debate. Phenomenal.

Another incident I can recall is a ferrari F40 going down St Steven's Street in Norwich, a major shopping street, over speed humps and past hundreds of gawping shoppers. The thing that made it even more incredible was that because it was SOOOOOO slow over the speed tables, it left a large, clear gap in front of itself to the next hump.

The guy in the car being clearly a man of ENOURMOUS penis (??!!) gassed it each time between the humps creating a PHENOMENAL noise, two black rubber lines and, best of all, a HUGE lick of flame out of the back!!! I never new the F40 did that, but it does!! FIRE!! I turned green. Visably.

So, what's your story??
