What cars do you have a second glance at?
Not a lot excites me just lately.Do like the look of the Jag XK but Porsches are 10 a penny and just not 'wow' when you see them.Same with most stuff nowadays,exotic or not.Anything you always look in your rear view mirror at when its gone by?
(Funnily enough,our third car,an old Mini Cooper gets loads of attention,parked up or on the road

The old faithfulls, the S1 E Type coupe/convertible & the S3 convertible with white walls plus wire wheels ( perfect with hard top ).Jag XJC ( 6 & 12 cyl ) with & without the vinyl roof, plus pepperpot wheels & white walls ( with right amount of chrome ).

nicely modded jap but do really like the boggey green ford rs at the moment , if I went away from the scoob scene it would prob be that especially with the tunning packages around for it now which still keeps your waranty valid , obviosly ferraris, nice porshes etc but will never afford one of them

Saw a Triumph Acclaim on the motorway a few weeks back! Haven't seen one for 20 years and then spotted it again 8 hours later on the way back: still going strong. 
On a more serious note Clio V6 Mark 2's still float my boat, particularly those bright blue ones. Top low mileage ones never lose value. Just wish they were a bit quicker: maybe turbcharged or supercharged would be good.

Very sad but when I see E9* BMWs pass I look at their grilles - chrome means 6 pot. I then look at their tailpipes to see if they are "proper" 335is or 335ds rather than lesser models.
Oh very dear...
I overtook an Acclaim yesterday - it was going very well!
Lambo tractors always get a 2nd glance ;-)
