Ka parking in an area that could fit 2 cars.

Went to Morecambe Bay today and saw some nice cars in the Midland Hotel car park:
Look what I parked next to. One of those cars has a list price of about half the current value of my house. The other one is my Porsche Cayman. Ahem.
Another Porsche. I had to take the pic from miles away and zoom in, so it's not clear this is a Carrera 4 S.
Another unclear pic (phone - rubbish), this time of a BMW 740i.
Some old Daimler.
On the journey there I also saw:
A convertible Maserati of some kind - I didn't get a good look at it as it went by quite fast!
A Lotus Elise
A couple of the new green Focus RS and a nice brash orange ST
A Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI
A Robin Reliant.

First post in here, sorry if it doesn't conform to your usual standards 
Not too clued up on cars, but I keep seeing this one car parked on my way home from work. No idea if you class it as a good car or not, but the plate on it sure stands out.

See interestingly what is at first a car which is completely not suitable for this thread - I mean.. so what? It's just a 10 year old 7 Series - is actually quite bizarre. The square numberplate indicats its an import probably from the USA. Bizarre.
Isn't that a Jag?

Heh, I actually didn't know if it was at all interesting, but I know the 7 series was in a Bond film and that BMWs are popular round here, so I thought it was worth a punt!
I actually wondered about the plate, but didn't know whether it meant anything in particular.

Not if the back was to be believed! It's the UK Daimler btw, not the German one.
Looking at good old Wikipedia, it appears to be a V8-250, and - you win the prizes - was "essentially, apart from a fluted grille, badges and drivetrain, a more luxurious Jaguar Mark II" though it did still have a Daimler engine.

The 740? Didn't look, sorry.
Yeah I noticed that after posting, I cant multi task. Was trying to identify the Alfa I saw on google images and after typing Alfa lots it just came out
The wonderful Google Image has just shown me that it was an Alfa Romeo Montreal sitting with the Countach.
This is what they ended up as in their day, Group 5 racers!

Somebodies been to Ford Fair then!
Was tempted to go myself, interested in the Mountune Stage 3 upgrade for the Fiesta ST which was announced there (for me its either Mountune or throttle bodies, don't want a supercharger to chew my gearbox every 5 minutes!), apart from seeing some the mental cosworths and so on...!

I saw a Pontiac GTO Sport Coupe a few weeks back. Very pretty.
No. I was driving at the time. After giving my Dad instructions for 5 minutes ion how to unlock my phone, it would have been a bit much to tell him how to get a good photo... The GTO must have saw the picture being taken as he gave a good rev after. Sounded good.
Forgot to put in my last post, but does anyone know much about the McLaren MP4-12c prototypes? Saw one stuck in the usual Saturday afternoon traffic in Norwich a couple of weeks back. Looked good in white, XP8 on the side with B&Q style pipework out of the engine cover.
