While at Le Mans and on the shuttle getting a lift back to the campsite at Porsche curves a friend noticed all the 911s. “Common aren’t they?” She remarked. Someone else on the bus took did not see the joke and took umbrage.

The dbag thing annoys me. It is simultaneously a car for people who appreciate cars and for those with no imagination.

It looks perfect in that goldish bodypaint

So a BMW for those with more money? Cobblestone makes for interesting tyre squeal

Luckily that guy isn't at our site when the beetles come out to race

He was in the disabled bay, seems quite spry so..... But he didn't leave it in gear and walked away until we all pointed out, uh dude your car

I actually like that colour quite a bit. (I have to spell it like that given your location right?)

Well we won twice so.......

Out and about today, cut through on Bond St and yes, yes that's a parking warden giving him a ticket. I haven't kept up enough to know what model it is any more

Playing with house money, father in laws flat in the fancy part of town. Gotten the side eye from a few other guests when I come rolling in with my backpack and jeans but the staff is great.

One more round about town this afternoon, so far no trying fancy Porsche and I skipped a couple newer Astons. And all of the Lambo and RR abominations are ignored

Last day update of the cars of Mayfair. Around the corner from each other Honda e and Aventador LP700-4

A car I never thought I would see in person, and note the plate

You came over at the right sort of time of year. During the UK's summer time we usually get an influx of wealthy types from the Middle East who come over to escape the searing temperatures in their home countries, and they are often the only ones who can afford to buy these more exotic cars.

Last one after I got home this afternoon. Nothing special but figured I could end with a Hilux

**joeb** · 17 Sep 2022, 12:33 (Ref:4126324)

To my fellow Georgians or current residents, take a look at rental car lots. They got nothing. This was my rental today because they had nothing else. Comped the fuel for me, so I was doing my best Sabine Schmitz impersonation across nowhere South Cackalack today. Beautiful but so run down

And WTF with the keys Enterprise??

**Adam43** · 22 Sep 2022, 00:51 (Ref:4126778)

Tell me that due to various freak events it ended up full of people.

No rentals. No new cars cars anywhere. Rental companies got spooked about stock when all the airports closed. Then when they reopened the manufactures forgot to make cars

The ones you do find have the mileage on them!

**Adam43** · 22 Sep 2022, 00:53 (Ref:4126779)

The van I saw yesterday. And when I post it for some reason is to upside down ffs.

The truck. I think I’ve seen at a cars and coffee a few months back. Here it is out in the wild.

I've had that a couple times, makes no sense why all the keys are together. Guess for efficiency you can lose them all and get billed a couple grand to replace. Similar news, they lost my keys to my city car at the shop while I was out and couldn't get a new set from Ford cause they don't have any so that's nice.

One of my neighbors has a similar vintage truck that he keeps in the garage and I never see him drive, but if the day ever happens that I see it on the road I'm going to take a picture. His is candy apple red.

Some nice small Japanese trucks today. One of them is an antique registered one.

Sorry for the quality. Blame the passenger.

I love old Japanese trucks. Especially old Toyota and Nissan models with an 8ft bed.

There are a couple around me that I want to share, but I can never grab a pic of them. They are more 'vintage' than those, but those are nice indeed.

I drove past the Enterprise lot in Buckhead, they had an older Chrysler minivan and 2 of the Infiniti tiny penis "Pathfinders" and nothing else. They used to have 911s, F-Type, Vettes and more, now lots of macadam

Also, does this count as car spotting?

They've been swapping out the street lights all week and ready to film this weekend. Cause you know, downtown Atlanta looks exactly like LA right

**Adam43** · 23 Sep 2022, 20:39 (Ref:4127043)

It probably does to me

But then Superman II was filmed in Milton Keynes and I didn’t know!
