My boring trip to the tip

DXP55 · 31 May 2015 at 17:13

Was saved when I got to island before Whitchurch here in Shropshire and had to stop for a convoy of Ferrari's - 5 looked to be same and last one was totally different - I have no idea what Ferrari models are but it was nice to see - Anyone else see them anywhere.

I have them on dash cam but my connection is way to slow for even a 10 sec clip.

This is such a non story. A bunch of Ferraris....yayyy. This could easily have gone in the daily encounters thread.

I saw a convoy of 25 AC Cobra's today doing the London - Brighton.

Should have made a thread about it. Damn

Did you search for wisdom before starting this thread?

How was the tip, did you manage to get the rubbish in the big bins?

I've seen a Veyron owners day group ride up in the mountain passes here. What they were doing with those massively heavy cars in the mountain passes I'll never know but they're bloomin' noisy!

If you don't want to read it, press the back button?

That's paradoxical as he would have to read it to realise he didn't want to read it?

Sorry BGT is on downstairs which I despise so I'm a bit bored

Not a trip to the tip but a trip to the shopping mall.
Although I don't like really like Ferraris, never have as they were always the enemy in F1 as I support McLaren. I did see an F430 today and the guy was blipping the throttle a bit which sounded good as he pulled into valet parking at the new mall (The Mall at University Town Center: Sarasota), he just parked it up next to a very nice Rolls-Royce Wraith out front as the valet guys swarmed around expecting to drive it to the valet parking area.
I walked past and went an ate a Sicilian omelette at the Brio Tuscan grille which was very nice.

I didn't take any pictures of the cars or the omelette.

Inside the mall there is a Tesla dealership, I had a good look in there also, nice to see the skateboard like chassis on display.

Flying up to Newark tomorrow to stay in Manhattan for a few days before flying back to London, maybe I will see some nice cars there? Doubt I will take any picture though but I will let everyone know if I spot something nice.

Thanks

I was so bored my wisdom stick was broke - At least I didn't post a picture of a Defender next to my car or a back end of a BMW.

Aha! Given the timing of your post and my reply in the other thread having just at the exact same time seen that, I lolled

It was too late.

I'm going to Whitchurch tip tomorrow. I'll remain vigilant.

mrk · 31 May 2015 at 22:12

Just the tip?

Phil W · 31 May 2015 at 23:45

I feel I must on the off chance of a potential spotting.

And I've got some rubbish

You have to admit that he has a point though, no matter how much you may dislike how he put it across.

When I drove up to get my alloys the other month, I saw some unreleased Jaguars and a load of miscellaneous supercars like Astons, Lambos, Ferarris etc.

I thought I was really polite on how I put it across?

I wouldn't say it was "really polite" but I think it was at least "sufficiently polite as to go unnoticed on these forums"

I should have gone :

Hey matey, just thought I'd let you know that we do have a daily encounters thread for this type of stuff. Sux that you can't get a video of it, that would have been really cool!!!!

Nothing beats seeing some Fezzas by surprise !!

That does actually sound like something some members would say sincerely, without a hint of sarcasm.
