It was the videoing whilst drinking cappucino and eating lunch that was the challenge!

This is the F40 that EVO magazine always use.....think the article with these two cars in it was the issue before last?

Now some people on here would have gone on to claim how they proceeded to not only keep up, but pass these cars with ease during the little dabble which ensued!

A rare sight on the road the F40. They sound gorgeous. I on ly ever saw one when I lived in London, (uxbridge). Saw another rare bird the Dino aswell.

A mad thing happened some time after that. I was driving my brother over to Bethnal Green talking about cars and mentioned to him that I had saw this Dino in Uxbridge and it was a rare sight.

A Dino only went and drove by on the Whitechapel road about 2 minutes after the conversation ended.

How mad is that. So much for rarity.

London is mad for cars though, up there with the best places for sightings!

We went in the summer and hoped to see a Veyron. Ended seeing 2 of the things!!!

Try the back road between Hartwell and Hanslope (Long Street) and then when you hit Hanslope turn right at the roundabout in the middle of the village and head towards Castlethorpe

He must have been parked up when the photo and video footage was taken, or his passenger leaned over to make it look like it was taken from the drivers side...
I mean, no-one would be so mentally deficient as to photo/film when driving would they??
