To those who argued with me when I said the Taurus is a piece of crap, I just want to say that you guys suck
I've sat in a Taurus wagon today, and I MUST say that it the worst car I've ever sat in. Srsly, it had less interior space then my dad's Corsa. Sure it had a big boot, but it had the head room big enough for a headless baby.

Other then that I saw an E30 M3 in an awesome metallic blue color
And a hideous convertible Chrysler

Well I was in London today and passed by the dealership, but it was after 5 so was closed, just a look in the window instead

And there were tonnes of cars I didn't get pics of, like the 430 16M Scuderia Ferrari thing in red, 2 different Lumma BMW X5's, a Dubai plated Merc CL with a chrome skull instead of the trident and "Ed Hardy" stiched into the headrests... any ideas? and many more, but here are a few I take did today:













































What is this???









one for cheekygirl



























2nd one





No where as good as S-tunes, but as I said above, it was closed when I got there







This is the 3rd Gemballa Cayenne I saw today...

Great images Tom!

The first couple of images; they wouldn't to have been taken in and around South Kensington, were they? That area looks frighteningly similar to the area that my friend is staying at (and where we stayed at)!

Geez Tom, seen any cars lately?


I find it odd that there wasn't any drool all over the Sagaris. Well done!

I think it was Chevy's answer to the VW MK1 Golf. Not to say it did the job very well.

There must have been a car show on somewhere coz I met my monthly total of awesome cars in one day:



First I saw this beast with the top down bellowing past. Possibly the best sounding V8 I've ever heard.

Then a few moments later I saw something I just couldn't believe

A TVR IN CAIRNS? WTF? That also sounded glorious.

Then a 911 996 Carrera in silver came past


Followed closely by the best car I have ever seen in the flesh


Quite a similar colour to this. God I wish I brought my camera.

Then there were a few beautiful looking Alfa Spiders all in red.

And last I saw a black Maser GT


By far the best cars I have ever seen in my life were today. In Cairns you normally get a single good car on a weekly basis.

I saw a silver SLR in front of a dentist's office the other day. Only one ive ever seen, but i didnt get to stop and admire it
You see something worth more than 100k probably once every two spring/summer months here. So that was pretty cool.

Wow, London seems to be coming along since I was last there... Tom was there some kind of show/event or is that just a regular Sunday morning in the up-market part of town?

Uh... could be, I know we went there. I let my friend do all the navigating because he wanted to see certain places (down from Dundee in Scotland), I just followed along pretty much!

ahh right, makes sense. I'm guessing it was probably brought over many years ago by someone in the US military (can cargo cars and belongings easily into the UK) or someone who worked on a visa of some kind and then left here when they left...

This is just a regular Saturday afternoon, nothing special going on.

You should try a Thursday night around Knightsbridge or evening rush hours on Park Lane, you can notch up a lot of piccies then!!
