Ferrari 458 parked up outside the City Chambers this afternoon. Looked so much better than in pics and looks huge parked up kerbside. Managed to get a quick chat with the owner, he just got it last Tuesday and did the race the runway event at Edinburgh airport on Friday. He got the fastest time of the day at 178. !! Respect 8)

Saw one in white in Doha a month back, must admit that it did not suit the white but reckon the black/red would look very nice.

Good money in owning chippies :wink:

So far amongst the red and black, also spotted a dark metallic brown one (looked odd) and an Arab plated one on Sunday that was a sort of aubergine purple that looked amazing.

There's a black D-plate M3 used as a daily driver in Kirkcaldy.

Still not sure if it's uber-cool or a sin to use it every day in all weathers :?

Spotted this morning in Dundee - one of those new electric Mini E things - only noticed it cos it was that titanium colour with lime green mirrors & bits.

Left hand drive too.

IIRC the've only made 500 of them, so rare enough :blackeye

Was a bit disappointed with my haul of unusual spots from the South of France last week...

St. Tropez was very quiet, only a Maserati Grantourismo (UK plate).

Spotted a couple of Weismann's though - 1 roadster and one GT - sounded lovely.

And his and hers - White Mercedes G Wagon with a large sounding engine (AMG?) in convoy with a white Ferrari 599, each with matching UK plates (AF <nn>).
