Big deals probably the wrong phrase, but it is a good spot, not seen one on the road myself.
However, one I think is even rarer is a Zonda. Has anyone seen one of those on the road? My bro lives close to Monaco and is always going there for evenings, and happily calls me so I can hear the Enzo, Murcialago, Gallardo, etc etc, thats cruising round. But, even he has yet to see a Zonda. Anyone??

Saw a Zonda in Hemel Hempstead a few months back, it pulled up to a roundabout as I was leaving it, almost broke my neck with the double take! Amazing car to see on the road, looked huge!!

Saw a Zonda years ago in France when I was driving to Belgium. I also saw an Enzo the other day, but I live not too far from Graypauls Ferrari, so they're as common as muck

I pulled up next to a zonda at the lights. Unfortunately I couldn't get directly next to it or else I'd have tried to bait him into toasting me just so I could hear it/see it go. Sounded amazing at low revs tottering along!

Saw a Zonda a couple of months ago in Woking, coming out of the McLaren complex, looked like an angry bluebottle with those antenna wing mirrors - looked awesome.
See lots of nice cars in that area, SLR's & McLaren F1's - not surprising really as both are / were built in Woking.
I used to work opposit the old McLaren HQ in Sheerwater in Woking & would see F1's pretty much every day in various guises.......cr4p job but what a perk !!!

Saw an AMV8 Aston for the first time on the road too yesterday (rather than at motor shows) Looked & sounded fantastic, though for the same price you can now get a used Vanquish or DB9.

Spotted an Enzo in Monte Carlo (surprise surprise) and a Zonda in Slough of all places, a few months ago. Nearly crashed the car in the process or rubber necking Enzo is not a pretty car, but it has got serious presence on the road. Like no other car I've come across.

AMV8 is my favourite car of the moment - not seen one yet on the road. There are some very nice desktop images and pics on the AM website.

I see DB8's and 9's fairly often and shed load of porkers (round here Boxters are more common than scoobs ). Might have something to do with the fact I live less than 2 miles from a porker and an AM dealership :rooleyes:


I have seen a DB8 Vantage in Brighton though, might ahve something to do with that the PITP was on and it was beign driven by McFlys manager. Crap music if you ask me, but seems to be paying him well enough

Ferrari just has a way of making cars that have road presence.

GTO, F40, Enzo.

Last year I saw a Zonda in Maidenhead. Prob the same one seen in Slough by Chris. This was a silver one.

The other week I saw a Porsche GT coming off the M4 to Maidenhead. Fit lass sitting in passenger seat

In the past I've seen F40s (all red), Gallardos (black and silver), F50 (red), Murcielagos(sp) (orange, gold, silver and black), XJ220 (green), countachs(various colours), muira, 959, Pantera.

Can't remember anymore, but the one thing I do know is that none were owned by me

I think we are all on about the same guy, if so he lives in Bracknell. I worked in a wine store in Maidenhead, he used to come in for his port. That was a silver Zonda. I know he lives in Bracknell as to buy from the store you had to be on the mailing list and sign in when you entered, so if you are around there chances are you will see it.

San Tropez last August - Zonda 'cruize' - 5 of the fekers. Then went to monaco and saw 4 million Ferraris and one of those konneniningeningigegingegizigers. Hardest loking car on the road ever has to be an F40 - it is just plain baaaaaddddd!!!

St Tropez last august too ... weekend evenings at the Byblos and in the car park there were always at least 2-3 enzos and zondas, 10+ lamborghini, 10+ "generic" ferrari (430s, 360s, etc), the odd bentleigh and rolls, assorted Maserati and AMGs and Ms, and one regular SLR. Better than a car show.
My Elise has never been so invisible as in StTropez
