Whats the most exotic car you�ve seen?

Bugatti Royale at the Techno Classica in Essen a few weeks ago.  Stunning.

Seen a couple of Bentley Blowers + a Lagonda that all raced in Le Mon in their prime at the Gorden Bennet Road Race a couple of years ago, very special!

McLaren had a showroom on Park Lane in London in the late '90's with a car and engine, etc.  Sad, but I used to make detours to go past it when there. Lamborghini also had a showroom a few doors away (when they were being distributed in the UK by Porsche if I recall correctly).

Ford GT40, McLaren SLR, Rolls Royce Phantom, Lamborghini Countach,  Aston V8 Vantage, BMW Z8, loads of Lamborghini Gallardo's , 2 Maybach's, Ferrari F430's (but everyone has seen one of them!) and loads more I just can't remember right now.

I saw a Rolls Royce Phantom with 07 plates on it in Sneem Co. Kerry on St. Patricks Day a few weeks back. I was thinking that it may be belong to the Dublin developer Bernard McNamara who bought Parknasilla Great Southern Hotel in Sneem which was privatised last year by Martin Cullen. Such cars are a sight down there as the road to Sneem could be rated as one of Europes worst. Pretty cool it was, and was a pure black colour. 

The best place to see lots of exotics together is the Festival of Speed at Goodwood. Absolutely incredible. When I went there was a line of about 12 F40's, several Mclaren F1's, umpteen Lambo's and oodles of other stuff. But without doubt my favourite that I have seen on the road is a guy that lives in my area just south of Manchester who has a Ferrari 250 GTO. not sure what year but they were only made in 1962 to 1964 Its in lovely condition but not absolutely concours but he does use it and I have occasionally seen him going to get his sunday papers in it. That fabulous V12  engine is the most beautiful sound you could wish to hear. I could listen to it all day, a wonderful car.

Well who won? Did it leave you for dead? What bike were you on? I'd love to see one of those up close.

I was riding an RG500 which was nippy enough in its day, we zipped up to about 130 in places and accleration wise there wasnt much in it, my bike at the time did a 11sec qtr , i dont know what a Macca does it in but I have no doubt not much after 120MPH the car would have left the bike for dust.

As the driver turned off at the next junction we gave each other the thumbs up, was a special 10 or 15 minutes thats for sure.

Well I saw a brand new Peugeot 1007 the other day. Now THATS rare. And
no a Renault doesn't count unless it's an Alpine or a Sport Spider. (Bill Cullen
has a Spider)

^^

I'm surprised it wasn't wider than the archway....
