wheelsportaddict should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Walking back from the shop, a beautiful 1955 Armstrong Siddley 346 4 Door Executive Saloon.

And for those that don't what one looks like...

I saw a DeLorean a few months back, must've been the same one.

Saw my first M-B SLS roadster last night , parked up outside Specsavers.

God it's huge, really wide like a Testarossa. Dread to think what the rubber costs to replace. It was a plain maroon colour - surely they must do another colour more interesting than that. Still, each to his/her own.

I love the SLS, but it would be the hard top for me. How can you not have the gullwing doors?!

I saw one last week, which is unusual because they haven't officially gone on sale here yet, I think that is a month or two off yet.

Went to Tescos and passed a smart Jag Mk2 on chrome wires - a sort of sky blue colour, quite unusual.

Apparently there's a McLaren MP4-12C in the province. i'll have to look out for that one.

Last Thursday saw a Lancia Beta and a Rover P5 near the A1 in Bedfordshire.
Friday saw a Beauford (Panhard Limo inspired 'kit' car) and Saturday an R8 Roadster and a Gallardo Spyder.

I've always assumed that ther's a field or disused airfield somewhere in darkest middle-England packed to the gunnels with unsold "lemons" like this.

I started a thread on a different website about why people buy the weirdest cars that they don't really need, but got such a mouthful in response that I dare'nt go back.

But seriously, if it's usually the second most expensive thing you'll ever buy, why not look into it in depth. Some salesmen must be laughing all the way to the bank.

My mother had one of the 1300cc models bought new in (I think) the very late 70's.

There must be a meet somewhere round here today. Did an early business run and saw MGB, Midget and Minor 1000 all together outside a house, two Jeeps in convoy, and then a simply lovely Minor pick-up (there can't be many of those left).

Stick something on the back to hold the clubs and sell it as the latest in golf carts. It's about the only thing that comes to mind that it would be useful for.

I saw this year's 911 Turbo S (briefly!) on the M5 yesterday. As long as you're restrained enough not to ruin it with a personalised plate, it's a rather handsome brute.

997 Turbo is one of those almost real world wish list cars. Unmatched pace in a handsome and relatively understated package (I said relatively! ), which is genuinely robust enough to use daily without needing a lottery win for the bills.

One day, maybe, if I'm very, very lucky.

Yes actually being driven by a guy who looked like he was in IT.

Definitely a lost bet.
