Spent a sunny afternoon watching the rich and famous have fun. Awesome cars with some great paint jobs were on display. I took up a good position on Westminster bridge to catch the cars heading for the coast. Managed to speak to Jay Kay and said his new ride was more comy than the Enzo ! He offered a ride to Istanbul, naturally, I had to refuse coz I didn't have my passport on me. Also got a nice wave from Jodi Kidd too ! All in a good day car spotting.
jodi says hi too

Jodi rang me this morning and asked if I'd come with her. I had to say no, as the wife wanted me to go to Sainsburys

I was going to go but had to work instead. Did you see the good men of Team Polizei? BMW M5, Alex roy and his crew are always good for a laugh

Jodi was at brands with the veyron and the f40 and enzo (reg kr60 and kr65). I asked the owner nicely and he let me sit in his enzo

jodi didnt even make brecky when she left mine this morning

she does get about , that girl. Look at the colour scheme of this !

this Bentley didn,t hang around though. I still managed to overtake him up the Old Kent Road though

A bit of local knowledge does make a difference you know

You sure that Ferrari isn't actually an MR2?.............

I'd love to do it, but it is seriously expensive. I just couldn't believe the hardwear people were using to compete this year. Bugatti Veyron , Jaguar 220.... need I say more !

I did see a TVR though, it had managed to get to Westminster bridge then stopped
I think 17 countries in 7 days was a bit optimistic for a TVR.

bit of hunting this morning and I found a pic of me in the enzo at brands that some nice photographer had taken
