A line up of some nice chariots....Notice the TVR in the background. I rode in one of those (Griffith) and it had so much power the rear tires absolutely would not grip the tarmac...Insane!

Nice... you made me homesick!

I think top prize has to go to the Merc bus/RV... now that's style. Probably could even get away with driving in the bus lane.

I think the double yellow lines don't apply to the exceedingly rich...

Actually in Scotland, I also saw at least three new Ferraris. Models escape me now (this was a year ago) and when I was in Ireland, I saw two nice TR6s. I'll be back to England this year for Goodwood. I'll be sure the digi is riding with me there!

Thanks Aaron! What a great set of pix. A lot of these ideas expressed as cars show an element of integration in this environment that you don't see in the US. They look cool in a way then never do around here.

....Maybe it's just that they are all on the wrong side of the street?
