Went to Southend Air Festival on Sunday and yesterday, saw these and a nice 50s or 60s motorbike with one of those streamlined fairings, looked really nice

I passed an Audi R8 on the highway. I was in my Ford Fiesta. The driver seemed terrified and did 105km/h on the right lane as I zoomed past at 118!

I've not seen it today,but cool car it is.Love it

Where was it and what color R8?

I've had the same a while ago. Grumpy looking bloke in his 50's, doing 90 tailgating a lorry for at least a few miles.

I know dutch highways aren't the best suited for those kind of cars, but for ****s sake, use the cockmobile the way it was intended to be used

Lol surprisingly it didn't rain! It was nice and sunny (well the first day) and a bit overcast the next brilliant show though, first time I'd ever been to Southend's one.

I saw a race prepped BMW M3 E30 and MX5, Scirocco and a Riced Up Ford Galaxy (No it isn't a cool car lol, I'll let you flame that)!

I saw an old Volvo T5 disappear into my mirror (The last one that was in BTCC) he was trying to keep up, shame it didn't like the twistys as much as the straights.

The ironic thing is he caught up with me when I caught up behind a Mustang, (http://static.howstuffworks.co ... tang-specifications-1.jpg) who was going rather slow.com

Managed to take a few frames, as I was in a hurry. Really hard though, in a parking garage with only a little bit of light.

Quote from brandons48 :

How fast was it going? I saw a Veyron in maidstone, at walking pace

it was in traffic, and had just entered a 30 mph zone, so quite slow.

I'm pretty sure I won this thread. Got loads of pictures. Here are some of the coolest : (I'll upload some more at my site)
Yep, it was Vettel. More pics and vids soon.

in a car dealer in town

I overtook a NSU Ro80 Mk.1 today.
And found a Ford Taunus parked behind our Ford/Mazda dealership.
I'd buy it, but its too rotten and rusty to even move it, sad to see a nice car like this. Guess it stood there in the snow all winter


This is how it could look today

Here are the rest of the pictures I took. Gonna upload some video's now.

I saw this today, not really that exciting in itself, but the numberplate is fairly cool.



@ACCAkut...

My friend raced one of those a few years ago, despite the OK ish look of the car, my GOD it was rusty, and slow (had a little v4 engine) but strangely it was front wheel drive, despite the engine and 'box running lengthways down the car like a rwd would be, but the driveshafts ran through the gearbox at 90 degrees,it was a very strange arrangement, which as we discovered, is not good for full contact motorsport, he hit about 2 things and then the engine went back, and because of the different arrangment i mentioned, the engine moving back meant that the gearbox, and therefore the wheels went back as well, both wheels, straight into the bulkhead, car deaded.

thats such a kick ass number plate!!!

I saw the coolest car I have ever seen. It is a 2006 Mazda Tribute S. No picture, but it is very similar to this....



Nothing really out of the ordinary do you say? Well, it is the coolest car I have ever seen because it's all packed up with my family's shit to head out on the road 1091 miles to Walt Disney World in 10 hours!

worked on a BMW 2002 today,beat some ricers on the way home,umm what else lets see... ah saw a zr1 while i was working at the garage door.

The number plate must be worth more than the car!
