This passed me today... Making a gorgeous noise... Looked very expensive!

Not a clue what it is... I don't think it's French...

Pleased to see the driver knows how to safely pass a cyclist :)

This morning I discovered the driver was a fellow cyclist who both knows me and recognised me as he passed me 8-)

As this will be well outside the 'Classics for under 10k' thread, I thought I'd post it here. It has been my lifetime desired car and the closest I got was the Delta HF Turbo which was a terrific car but not as good as one of these: :-D

These look so small now next to modern cars, but this example looks good in white with some shiny chrome. Note the characteristic bit of fluid drippage accumulating in the small puddle underneath. :-D
