It's adorable. Clearly loved by its owner.

To be fair to BMW, theirs probably is about as close to a "Mini" as you can get with current regulations unless you are a low volume producer.

Steering wheel is in the correct position. That's refreshing.

I suppose it won't matter much due to its dinky size.

Not Sunday, but I did see a Lucid Air this week. Took me a few seconds to figure out what it was. I was driving so I didn't get a picture, but it was this in brown.

I saw my first one a few weeks ago. IMO it's one of those rare cars that photographs better than it looks in the real world.

Not seen one yet.. However, the Audi RS e-tron looks great, broody and menacing.. Porsche Taycan less so.. I will get some shots as there are a few about my neighbourhood.

Two new kids on the block. The Porsche GT3 looks nice but the Lambo.... WTF is going on with the colour scheme? Inside it was black and red!!! Also parked locally but I didn't get a chance to get a snap, a Pogoda SL and a RR Wraith..

Driving a supercar in a large city just seems miserable to me. Maybe London is different, but I would never want to drive a Ferrari in NYC, Boston, Baltimore, DC, Philly, etc. It's like you have to be really committed to enduring the worst possible driving experience so that you can look like a real d-bag when you finally get there. And it's not like you can't afford another car.

A lot of the supercars in the centre of town actually live in town. Generally used for posing and annoying the locals... I've seen lots with middle eastern licence plates during the summer, rich young things escaping the extreme heat of the deserts, bring their toys with them.. They just drive round the local hot spots... Saw my first Roma the other evening, just too slow with the phone to snap it...

Qatari royal family cars easy to spot as they are painted blue.. Parked outside their shop

Someone local to me has a 296GTB. Some initial thoughts: Matt red doesn't work, makes the the car look cheap.. and the electric motor sounds awful.. Again sounding rather cheap. I will try and get a photo if I see it on its lonesome.
