Interesting one this afternoon, Lovely Lambo Countach.

Reg was 666 LAM

A little bit wide for the narrow Jersey lane he was trying to squeeze down. He very kindly let me through in my Jeep Grand Cherokee, probably scared I'd drive over the top of him

How about the Noble M10? I think they only made a dozen before they started on the M12 instead.

I've seen two

I haven't seen an Opel Manta GTE in years, so must be pretty rare these days.

I saw a Delorean - the Irish (I think) built things....but it was in a museum in Belfast. A really nice car inside, but wasn't too sure about the styling. A bit like that Aston Martin Lagonda, I thought.

Anybody see a BMW Z1?

The Lancia rally slag thing. You know, the one that was turbo charged and supercharged. Seen a static rally version but never a road car. One was being sold in either Autotrader or Top Marques recently. AWESOME.

You don't know what an 'Active' is do you?

Saw a Lancia Thema 8.32 a few weeks ago in Manchester. My Scimitar GTE Se6B is pretty rare...only 437 built. So rare in fact that I haven't even see my own in 3 years!
