• Saw a Diablo going N on Kingsland rd out of my bedroom window yesterday morning.

    Had a smile on my face the rest of the day just thinking about it. Feels silly but I was explaining to my wife I feel like there's tiers of seeing a "supercar" or rare car.

    1. See it at a show
    2. See it parked or driving in the vicinity of a major motorsport event
    3. See it in W London or cruising on the motorway
      4a. See it out of your bedroom window driving past your house
      4b. See it being driven hard out in the wild

    Up there with the Diablo spot is when I was walking to Liverpool St station at about 03:30 with a punctured tub about 7 or 8 years ago. Empty London roads, a rare moment where the majority of London was silent, and an original 911 came past doing probably double the limit, engine singing, and just caught the massive grin on the driver's face.

  • A long time ago I was sitting outside the Duke of Hamilton pub (as was) in Hampstead, and a chap drove up the hill and reverse parked into a very tight spot outside the New End Theatre next door (as was) in a red Lamborghini Countach QV5000. Nailed it first time, like a boss. We clapped as he walked past, he nodded laconically. Dude.

  • This is the shit I'm talking about.

    I love the idea of something like that being used not necessarily as a "daily" but not kept hidden away and used regularly in mundane life.
