Yea, that's a good point - and any cover will trap enough moisture to ruin it, most likely. Time to invest in some proper storage!

Audis in the Park yesterday. Great day out and a nice spot on the way home. 
Then stopped off at Audi on the way home.
Found this beast cruising on the motorway - Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. I think this one has the old Lamborghini 5.0 V10 as opposed to the newer 5.2l V10 engine.

A friend won a competition to drive a new Mustang 5.0 for the day, only catch being that it needed to be collected from Shropshire (we live in SE London). As we'd already done most of the journey, it seemed rude not to take it the rest of the way to the evo triangle. The attention it got was unreal, had a small crowd of people around it as we came out from having lunch in a pub in Betwys-y-Coed and people stopping to take photos at petrol stations like it was something much more exotic!
Did a few laps of the triangle myself in it and thought it was ok, brakes wanted to launch you through the windscreen from even looking at the pedal, pedals were too far apart, steering could have been better, but it made a nice noise (had a Magnaflow exhaust) and the engine was very easy to get a lot out of. Was quite happy to give the keys back and go back to the M3 however.
The rental place also had some other nice toys available for hire including this 570S. Once I was in it was hard to make me get out lol.
Then another car filled day yesterday as a friend and I went down to Surrey and swapped cars leaving me an S1 Lotus Elise to chase my M3 around the countryside in. Complete opposite car to my M3 with no assists whatsoever but such a hoot to drive, have left the M3 with him for a few more days just so I can carry on enjoying something a bit different.

Rare beastie this!

That's because most people have the common sense not to spend that much money on a VW

I love them, but if I was to have something that expensive to run and that uneconomical I'd want it to be very fast, and due to the weight it isn't actually that quick. S600/760li/S8 are a better bet I reckon.

Nice plate, and nice guy for leaving such a vast consideration gap

Love a Maybach, but hate that gold monstrosity. That 240Z wins the page for me. Correct colour too. Epic.

240z is absolute dream car. MUST have.

Encountered a Rav4 rather more intimately than I'd have liked last week, thankfully Ferrari paint seems to respond incredibly well to a bit of a polish. Pensioner driving pulled out without looking and then tried to blame me 
This E-type was either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid to park there - pretty much guaranteed a door ding.
Finally, encountered this. I know they've become very cliché wth the whole supercar spotter thing, but I still think they look incredible

Thank you, Blackhawk, for the dozens of boring Audi pictures that we see at least a dozen of each on our daily commutes.

Missed the 240Z.
If I ever come across a 240Z for sale one day, and I havesome lots of spare wad... It's gonna be so hard to not get it. Such a nice looking car, lots of history too. Higher top speed than the 911T back in the day, and IIRC it was this car that caused Porsche to become crybabies.

Gosh, you are one sensitive *********. My most sincere apologies that you were unwillingly exposed to an opinion that you did not want to hear or see on the internet - which hitherto I can only assume you believed was a magical place filled with sunshine and rainbows and obscene praise and positivity towards everything enclosed within it.

I saw a combination of plate and car that made me smile - a Bentley with the number plate 45P.
I'd have given them at least 70p for it

I saw a Bentley in Hertford a few weeks ago with a number plate that read REPAY. I'm guessing he worked for a debt collection or finance company.

saw aston martin ar1 ! didnt know what it was until I google it haha, thought it was just a convertable db7 and plate "tag 11t" didn't say much.
