A Day in London...

shmee150 · 08-24-2009, 06:46 PM

Hey everyone. I've been on holiday for the last 3 months; and how I missed my car. Anyway I live in London and drove around for a bit today for the first time in a while, and I'm going to show you some cars I spotted today, I won't go into much detail; you know what you're looking at.

But most importantly felt I would start with this one; a very rare machine! (mine behind)

Then I noticed this in my mirror so pulled over to let him pass for a photo; and how good that engine sounds!

Then low and behold one of these; only 8 in the whole of the UK! (20 Enzos for comparison)

Well then I got to the Dorchester car park and wow what a line-up. The hotel is owned by the Brunei Royal Family so I think these are some of his fleet:

Didn't think I'd bother posting pics of the other Murcielagos, Californias, Continental GT Speeds or anything boring like 430s and Gallardos all spotted today; but wow the most supercars I've counted on the roads in one day than ever before!

Oh one more shot from yesterday as well:

Tim

P.S. I love London

Yuhuh

I have an album of cars I've spotted; well the ones I've photographed since I started about 9 months ago. This only includes cars on the road, not at shows etc... which includes 3 Enzos, 3 Veyrons, 5 SLRs, and so many more!

escobar929 · 08-25-2009, 07:33 AM

mogwai · 08-25-2009, 11:50 AM

Hehe, nice supercars especially the green vert. Just kidding...

In fact I also own a green 135i vert. It looks really nice when clean.
If I find some time and leisure I'll take some pictures and post them on this board.

anthony @ eas · 08-25-2009, 12:22 PM

Wow. That's a lot to see in one day. I don't think my heart could take that.

datbimmerdoe · 08-25-2009, 12:23 PM

Sick cars! Reminds me of south beach on weekends.

I loved the Top Gear review/story on this car! Sweet!!!

Easternedge · 08-26-2009, 11:04 AM

I'll be in LONDON for the first time in less than 2 weeks!!!!

elciddragon · 08-26-2009, 05:05 PM

I spent the last year there and that seems even a little more than usual. I think people were reluctant to take their cars out until summer though so I did not spot any Enzos and Veyrons on the same day; only on separate days.

montreal red · 08-27-2009, 12:50 AM

damn that carpark is like a freaking auto show.... insane!

former · 08-27-2009, 08:31 AM

London remains, to this day, the only place I have seen a McLaren F1 in person.

But, I've had other good days there too.

cagekicker · 08-27-2009, 05:16 PM

miami style!

NTTY · 08-28-2009, 01:49 AM

Hi,

Thanks for the pictures!
I love London, was there for my summer holiday.
On a car park perspective, it looks like Switzerland ;-) But as former said, London is the only place where I saw a Jaguar XJ220 parked in the street!

Cheers
