Cycling along the Ratcliffe Highway yesterday through St. Mary Hoo, we went past a lovely big house and spied a gorgeous Ferrari 458 sitting on the drive....red with a black roof.
On the way home through Hoo St. Werburgh, the same car went past us - heard something rumbling up behind, assumed it was going to be a hatchback with an obnoxious exhaust, then it went past us. Couldn't take a photo, but gave him a thumbs up and he floored it back towards Chattenden. Lovely

That's a good way to save money, just clear coat over the primer and forget colour. 
What was it like to drive?

One of the guys i work with really wanted one but he settled on a S3 instead (brand new and in a blue which is a nice change for an audi but he remortgaged his house to pay for it
).To be honest, I went in thinking I might place an order, but afterwards and thinking about it whilst driving home in my own car I'm not so sure.
First thing, when you start it up the noise is glorious (measured it at 91dB on my phone, my TTS is 83dB), the acceleration is something else. The engine note when giving it beans is also glorious. The ride is firm, but the same as the standard A3 (had a 2l TDI as a courtesy car a couple of weeks back). Interior is decent compared to the standard A3, but I didn't like the cloth or whatever it was that covered part of the steering wheel.
Main advantage over my TT is that it is relatively prectical, you can put roof bars on to take bikes which is something I'm keen to get, the back seats fold down and give decent amount of space.
At the end of the day it is just an A3 though so it doesn't really have any street presence and the spec I was looking at was ~£49K. Ordering now for delivery in March/April next year.

Best spot on this page surely
Haha... don't know about that... I'd have the MG, Cayman, Mustang, Fez or M4 before any Maser
Thought it was funny... that was supposed to be parked... I assume the owner was sitting in that cafe worryingly watching over it... as it was Paris, so just about every car has a dent and they actually bump/move cars forwards and backwards to make bigger parking spaces for themselves... lol
Tending to think the S3 route is the more attractive option to be honest.One of the guys i work with really wanted one but he settled on a S3 instead (brand new and in a blue which is a nice change for an audi but he remortgaged his house to pay for it

Today whilst out for a walk in the New Forest:
Also, there were hundreds of original mini's going through the New Forest- any idea where they'd be going?

Good spot none the less, would love to have a go in one just because...

Saw a blue Range Rover Sport SVR this morning.
Always nice seeing these about, best colour too.
Sort of expected for Paris I suppose
