There is a Lamborghini Murcielago that I regularly see parked in the underground carpark at our office in Auckland. I think there is someone in the building that is a car importer or something like that, as I regularly see the Murcielago there, or parked outside on the street and often other exotic cars like Porsche 996 GT3.

What a hideous, awful, horrible car! To think that this is from the same people that built the Daytona and the F40...

I tend to agree with Mike on the newer (that's the last 20 years...) Ferraris, I thought I was the only person who thinks the F40 is plain ugly and the F50 even worse! The Enzo somehow manages to look better in the flesh than in pictures but they should have stopped with the 250 GTO, that's one perfect looking road car!

The only car I've seen driving around that can be considered rare is a previous-gen red Viper with a targa roof that was coming out of Burger King. Very sexy.

There's a white Scion xB with wood side-panelling and completely silver wheels that I've seen on a few occasions. It's very interesting to say the least.

On route back from Thruxton yesterday I spotted heading Southbound on the M1 a Yellow Porsche Carrara GT, it wasn't hanging about either.

imull has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
many moons ago when i was about 16 i was walking down to the shops fro mmy school past a Glenvarigill garage. One of the salesmen asked me to do them a favour and took me to the Gyle shopping centre in a Countach to buy some coffee etc as they werent allowed to leave the car unattended when on a test drive.

Other than that, seen several ferrari's and other supercars but all look a bit dull to me except for hte XJ220 that overtook us on teh way to Thruxton last year for the Renault festival

All those expensive cars are great but I still like to see Mk1 RS 2000s & Mexicos but the best I think is a 3.0 manual capri with Jan speed exhausts(just for the sound)2.8s are rubbish.

I have not seen a Harrier for a long time.

Eurgh, Nobles! Kit cars...

Saw a Zonda in London the other week, then an F40 a bit later! Think there is a dealer on the south circular that sells very expensive cars..

Zimbabwe is not renowned for exotic cars but I took part in an illegal night race that, amongst the subarus and fords had a Skyline R34 GTR and a dodge Viper. The Viper was impressive away from the lights - lots of tyre smoke, but could not touch the skyline!

Also watched a crazy government official drive a Hummer off a mountain side - he forgot the beast was about twice the size of Toyota Landcruisers that the road was built for - doh! He walked away, but the Hummer is definitly only fit for midgets now - the roof is about level with the dash!

I think the likes of Ultima, Westfield, Quantum, Caterham etc might have something to say about that- many kits now are a higher build quality than many production cars, kitcars have moved on since Duttons were thrown together on a shoestring...
Somewhat ironic that Robfenn makes his comment about the Noble and then mentions an F40- not a car known for it's build quality

Saw a very nice blue M12 in Wycombe this morning

I have been at again spotting fantastic cars, this morning on route to Silverstone I was passed by a Pagani Zonda just as drove under the bridge at Leicester Forest Services. Also spotted at Silverstone its self a Ferrari F50 and a several Aston Martin DB9's.

Cycling around Regents Park I often see some nice cars. The other day I was in a traffic queue with a lovely dark blue DB6, a few weeks back a red DB5. I often see newer Astons and Ferraris but more unusual was the yellow Lamborghini Gallardo on Monday.
