Not the best pic but I spotted this old Aston Martin when I went to Kew Gardens at the weekend. Looked to be in mint condition

Few spots from Monaco....

No idea if this Aventador is actually owned by Wiley.

Whoever it was, they've got some great parking skills.

This Aston is always in the Casino Square carpark, never seems to move.

Likewise with this 560SEC which I'd love to rescue

Doesn't get much more "old money" than this....

But not this

Saw one this morning with a massive black grille, said quattro on the back but probably a diesel.

Perhaps it's part of the 9x black ultra black ultra black pack black pack?

Jonnycoupe said:
Saw a similar car on M42 and thought of this picture. Big grille black badges etc. No TDi though on the tailgate. Ask the missus to tap it in and it was indeed a 3.0 TDI S Line with 245bhp... I was suprised!

If you go on the audi site and have a play with the configurator thing you can't get that honeycomb grill on an A6 tdi. You can get a big black one, but its got vertical stripes on it, not the honeycomb pattern.

Anybody who does have one appears to either have a genuine RS6, or has bought the front bumper from a wrecked one and modified their car.

Also, why does it have a dash LED?

skaif said:
Could be an undercover police car?

God knows, but I doubt its an actual unmarked car since its had the Audi badge sprayed black by its owner. Doesn't come like that on the black edition so the owner has moddied it. Not the sort of thing you see on police cars !

Wouldn't be suprised if it was a blue dash LED however to try to trick people into thinking its a police car, especially if he's already trying to pretend to people its a 3.0 TDI.

Bit random but..

Never realised the rear brakes on the Fiesta ST looked so amusingly inadequate. I'm sure they actually provide ample stopping power given it's not exactly heavy and they're on the back anyway but they just look pathetic behind those alloys. (levels have been messed with to bring out the disc, hence it looks a bit odd).

Caliper looks crap too - don't paint things red kids (/Ford)

Snapped this on Wednesday night

M3 alert

Should have got a pic of the black rims.

BennyC · 23 May 2015 at 17:07

Spotted an i8 today but no snap.

Also saw this entourage of 2 Ferrari's, a white Rolls Royce and about 6/7 Range Rovers. Looked to be some Saudi's/Arab's in them. On the A41 headed up towards Bicester but I'd have thought Bicester village was a bit below them...

Strong plate on the Range but didn't clock the Rolls.

Black plastiwraped, blacked lights and black alloys on this X6///M50d (is that a real thing ?)

rare · 24 May 2015 at 13:01

So naff.

Traffic_Warden · 24 May 2015 at 13:01

Wow...Matte black x6...*sick*

Yes it is, however that is just a 3.0D

MagicBoy · 24 May 2015 at 13:43

Yeah, but with just the three turbos.

The point being made is that there is an X6 M50d but that isn't one - it's just a 2009 xDrive30d with fake M50d badges on it.

Which isn't entirely surprising given the only point in an X6 over an X5 is 'look at me'

MagicBoy · 24 May 2015 at 14:26

OK, I missed the nuance. The proper "M50d" is still a 3.0L diesel.

I wouldn't give an X6 a second look, just proves the buyer has no taste in cars.

Chavvy numberplate illegally spaced also :mad:

Do the police not do anything about that anymore? The amount of illegally spaced plates and one's completely altered with screws etc to make numbers look like letters is shocking! Would a speed camera even detect the reg if it's altered that much?
