No pics because we were driving in opposite directions, but at the bottom of the hill near my house, I crossed paths with a yellow Ferrari 250 GTO complete with the famous "prancing horse" on its grill and a butter yellow colored Porsche 718 Cayman following a couple of cars behind it.

So many today...
 

66 Fairlane convertible.

Model A Fordor.

A Urus and a Bentayga.

BMW i8, second one in two days.

Several Lucids and Rivians.

@005 Mercedes C55 AMG.  I was a passenger in this one.  It's a little rocket.

Not ON the road…but in the back corner of the parking lot of a store we went to today…plus a Falcon in the same lot, and a coupla cool trucks that I’d be happy to take home:

The gentleman had said they were built by Austin, and imported here by AMC. This is only the second one I've seen in this condition, I've seen a few in wrecking yards over the years. They're cool old cars you don't see everyday.

The Falcon looks salvageable. The T-Bird front end maybe what's left of a parts car, was there an old and maybe closed body shop in the area.

Where is that, I would love a 67 falcon! Hopefuly the rear frame rails are alright, they are a paint to fix on that body style of car (fairlane, comet, falcon) just ask my dad.

The other day my son sent me this from his work's parking lot.

I just noticed there are Forrester's lurking in both photos.

Yes we still see a few at car shows across the UK each year!
