What cars did you see today? (Non-Scimitar)
Saw an AC Cobra Le Mans (replica I assume) in Macclesfield yesterday and a white Rover SD1 near the M60/A34.
The Rover looked like they all did back in the day, scabby.

It's been slim pickings for a while, then saw a (Gold/Bronze?) Viva HC between Leek and Stoke this morning and a maroon TR7 this afternoon in Stoke.

Never try and argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you based on experience.

Judging by the windscreen sticker and colour I would say it's the exact same car

A bit of a rarity spotted at Brooklands yesterday. Apparently it's a Brazilian made VW Karmann Ghia TC.
