e-golf in a spot normally full of leafs and hyundais.

with a leaf in the other bay, the golf driver had to do some manoeuvring to get his car into position to plug in.

why didn't vw put the plug access up front like other EVs ?

Conversion of an ICE I suppose although I think the ID3 is the same.................maybe they are trying to set a new standard?

Spotted a mint, UK plated RHD Lancia Flaminia GT coupe in white heading south on the motorway.

Not sure of the model, a search suggests anywhere from '59 through to '66.


This isn't necessarily the car:

Aston Martin DB11 2018, White with blue.

Trucking along the NW from Pt Chev in the S8, saw it in the middle lane as I peeled across to the fast lane, I thought gotcha and let rip up the rise and under Patiki bridge, but as we went around the next corner I moved to the left (to go off at Tat) and this flash went past and got fifty clear of me and peeled across 3 lanes to beat me up the Tat off ramp in the most smoothest manner possible, like a F1 car without the noise   .....   :P
Beating up parking wardens ain't a crime.

very nice Triumph (probably) TR4 (on wires so less likely TR5) in a good strong yellow, parked in Milford with the top down in light drizzle, mint!

Always liked that generation of TR.

Another beautiful pearl black mk4 R32 this morning around 10:30 opposite Botany centre leaving the VTNZ / Repco parking area. Had a lovely exhaust note, definitely not stock exhaust. Owner a VASK member?

I saw one at the weekend and I was not too impressed........too poncey  to be a workhorse but far too ordinary to be an urban statement.
I think the short wheelbase version will look better but may be the Ford Bronco might be the better choice.
I can't see it lasting 70 years as did it's predessor.

triple threat - poncey, pricey and will break down

Spotted a Shelby GT500 Mustang in Oakura - Carjam search shows it to be a proper one, driven about 400 miles a year since being imported in 2006.

TIMMAY's old Audi S1, in bumblebee attire, black on yellow. I don't think it's close to the standard 170kW.

Sounded very angry, with a cackle like my old GTE had when lifting off the throttle.

Porsche Taycan driving past the kids? school this afternoon. Sounded like the millennium falcon. Looked like something from the future. I don?t think photos do this thing justice. Epic.
