Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

AMG one for me - just with a Jersey number plate not a horrible Guernsey one 😆
I’ve just got back from seeing family on Guernsey. I’m not entirely sure how you would actually drive something like that on Guernsey! (Apart from very carefully!)

I know - what scares me the most is you are allowed to drive on the pavement! I was walking everywhere when I went and buses would just mount the pavements next to you.

Yes it’s hard on tyres and wheels - and there are very few cars without some kind of impact scar!

There’s also no mot so there are some absolute sheds driving around which amazingly are allowed on to UK roads!
 
I'd like a go in one.......but im the sort of bloke who got excited about having a go in a mint Mk1 chocolate coloured 950 cc Fiesta at SADCASE recently!....so get a buzz out of driving most stuff....but when I win the £208 mill on the Euros tonight.....ahem..... the AMG One won't be on my shopping list.....to be fair hardly any modern super cars appeal...I want my cars more analogue and about the only one I'd pay money for would be the F40!

I was more bamboozled at you saying ‘leaves me cold’. How can someone as into cars as you (and us all) not be blown away with the very best offerings?

I’m sure you’d love it if you had the chance to drive one. 🤗

Your winning the £208 million, as well, are
you.😉 🙂👍
 
Quite happy to share it with you..I could just about scrape by with a mere £104 m!

To me, high tech, screens, electric motors and about 4 million ecu's don't belong in a real sports/super car.....
The Mac F1 ...one of greatest supercars of all time and I'm sure most would agree but the car was designed to be lightweight and driver-focused, so no power steering, no ABS, or traction control diluting the feel of steering, handling or braking.....a proper analogue supercar.

......but different strokes etc.

You’d LOVE driving the AMG One and you know it. 🥳
 
Hi,
Despite currently running two full EVs - I am a confirmed petrolhead and have owned three kit cars.
Nothing like a quick open top, manual gearbox and great visibility of front wheel positions and the feeling of the rear wheels through your rear end!
The last one that I had was the Tiger Super Six in the photo below - it had a blueprinted RS 2.1 engine and it made 160hp at the wheels. It weighed less than 500kg - so was very rapid!
I also used to own a 1971 TVR2500M (with a Triumph 2.5 litre, six cylinder engine - 4 speed with overdrive gearbox)

No sequential gearchange? Even my three wheeler has that.

But not quite the same power from its 50bhp though…🤫
 
Not on the road as such, but in the Sorrento showroom of a firm that rents classic cars:
