They get driven down busy high streets, making lots of noise, in some parts of London people are getting tired of the shit.

I think 'relatively' speaking supercars are getting easier too purchase. One exception Porsche GT3 etc, the only way of getting one of them is to wipe the arse of your local dealer.. The dealer will then decide if you been nice and gentle and put your name on the list of other hopeful arse wipers..

I enjoy seeing the cars but like I say too many and too often just takes the shine off a candy coloured supercar..

Haven't seen a 918 since I was back home in Saratoga CA.

Last time I was at Canepa they had 3, including the prototype that was sold from the factory to Jerry Seinfeld.

Today's trip into London spotted the strange and quirky.. first this Morgan and then the height of 1970s glam wedge fashion.. Aston Martin Lagonda, full admiration for the guy who was brave enough to face our yucky weather and traffic..

A very rare sight in the UK.. Seen lots in the Middle East.

Toyota FJ Cruiser. Pretty common around here. One a few doors down from me you could pick up for about $18K.

They were never sold officially in the UK, any in the UK have come in as imports.

Not really a Toyota enthusiast. Only reason I knew what it was is because the first time I saw one in the showroom when I bought the FRS I was all like "what is that ugly ass monstrosity".
