What I saw today....
Let's start a new thread!
Seen something unusual on the road? Post it on here. Better still post a pic if you have one. I'll start things off. Today I saw...... A Honda Odyssey - All I can say is "no wonder you don't see many." |

There's five in the car park outside my office right now. What's so strange about them?

How about one of these on my walk to Starbucks at lunchtime today.

I'm fortunate enough to work in an office that overlooks the Cromwell Road in Kensington & Chelsea (London). Some days it can look like supercar heaven (Ferraris, Maseratis, R8s) and I cycle home past the McLaren showroom. It's good to dream! |

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. |

Er, you were overtaken? Were you walking at the time?

I saw a Nissan (I pronounced it "Neice-awn" btw) Leaf today. Good luck to you fella, I won't be helping you when you're stranded on the side of the road. Better wear sneakers and leave the Birkenstocks at home.

im not sure if you guys had these in the UK, but i saw an original Pontiac Aztec parked in my backlane the other day.
obviously i was offended to see such an ugly car so close to my home but then i tried to sympathize with the owner who has been driving around in that rolling steaming pile for the past 10 years! |

On the plus side, you can pick up one with low miles for very cheap. |

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. |

There's hardly anything "exotic" floating around Dublin these days, well not that I've seen recently.

I went out of the office this lunchtime and saw a blue Mustanfg convertible with red viper stripes. Great car, crap styiling. Didn't take a pic because it probably belongs to one of the sheiks here.
Then I saw a red Dodge Challenger following a Camaro SS. |

I never let the mention of a Pontiac Aztec pass without repeating the age old story...
There was a big fancy motor trade event on a yacht moored up at a dockside somewhere in the US of A. Making the keynote speech was the Ford CEO, and part way through he was handed a note... "I've just been passed this from the harbourmaster. He says this is parked on the quayside. [He holds up a photo of the latest Pontiac Aztec.] It's not causing an obstruction or anything - he just wants to know what the **** it is." |

I had a SsangYong Rhodius for a day once. It was so remarkably hideous I actually took some photos of it.
