After a sit down, and a cup of tea I think I've got it.

Spectre. Think the company was called GTD?

Yes! Spectre R42. Made by Spectre Supersport LTD

I knew it was in NFS III: Hot Pursuit (best NFS ever, for the record), but I couldn't remember the name!

Uh, always?

Sure, it started production 1990 but it's a 1980s product. They didn't start R&D on Jan 1st 1990, did they?




What is this? I want to say Lister Storm but I'm not 100%.

Aye but by that logic the development of said M3 didn't start in 2002 either, did it?so you're comparing a late 80s developed car to a mid to late 90s.
Not the 20 year gulf first proposed.

S54 engine entered production in 2001.

Doesn't have to be 20 years. So 00s v 80s as I said

Saw a scene of complete devastation yesterday on the M6. Lorry didn't stop and went straight into a caravan being towed by a 4x4. It was carnage - debris everywhere.

Occupants ok and their 2x dogs were fine too. Stopped to lend a hand getting the dogs sorted.

It's not about production. It's about design and development.

I suppose we can all agree that both engines are ancient yet were made to the height of their abilities. The S54 won engine of there year for each year it was still being (6).

And that compared to today's engines are still fantastic and capable machines!

Snip

Wow! How did that exactly happen? The 4x4 slowing and the lorry not? Perhaps preferable in that situation to have the caravan as a buffer, but what a mess...

 

[Phil W]

Yeah basically the 4x4 started to slow and the lorry... didn't!

The whole incident was spread across what must have been 1/4 mile. Caravan body, chassis and car were all separated.

 

[Helios1234]

Saw a BMW Z8 today whilst in Germany.

 

[mrk]

Spotted my first Canadian M3 m8. These areega expensive here to buy and maintain, so fairly rare. I've seen only a Z4M of the same era once here.

The guy up the road with the black plasti-wrapped X6///M50d

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

appears to have swapped it for

 

[dacads]

Quite an upgrade!

I'm guessing that will be in for some sick mods as well?

Wow! That is like a scene from Top Gear. Would have expected more but I suppose there isn't that much to a caravan.

 

[rodenal]

Appreciate this is a terrible quality pic but this upset me greatly


320d xdrive in white with garish red skirts and bumper insert. Bleugh

 

[dacads]

Was a woman driving it? Looks a bit pink to me but I guess that's the pic quality

 

[rodenal]

Nah, the guy looked suspiciously salesman...ey

It was a wee but bit pink but its more that pic really

 

[wez130]

couldn't grab a pic as i was driving, but saw a McLaren P1 driving into Keswick this afternoon

[DirtyJester]

Heard him way before I saw him, he must shudder at the very thought of a speed bump...
