Just to keep you guys happy...

Here's the first SLR I spotted out of a showroom (nice Maybach too), in Knightsbridge, London

& also saw a second one on Thursday last, at London Heathrow Terminal 1, Passenger Drop Off (silver) - no pic that time though

I think this pic is the infamous Bay Area SLR - I found it on another forum where they asked the question... "Should a $400k + car have CONDENSATION in its tail lights?!"

Good point! I had to look up pics of the rear of the SLR to see the difference...

BTW, that's a pretty clean shot for a point-and-click digital camera (if that is indeed what it is)...

It seems that you can only upload your image as opposed to linking to it (it didn't work for me and a few others). File size limits apply (can remember file size though) with the max image size being 600x100. Now let's see it

As I pulled up next to it, I immediately noticed the aggressive ducts on the front fender and the side exit exhaust. I literally couldn't believe what I was looking at. I pulled in front of him to get a full look in my rear view and after causing a minor traffic jam, I went on my way... still weeving through traffic but no longer angry.

There is just something about a 600hp car that costs a half mill that calms me down and gets me excited all at the same time.
I have seen the same vehicle on Hwy 85 south bound at around 4 -5p driven by a white guy,35-40 yrs, blonde hair, business cut, glasses, who is constantly on a cell phone. He was driving it very moderately if you ask me. Slow lane. Color is black. Vehicle looks very nasty to say the least. If my old mind is correct there seemed to be some red piping but I cannot recall where on the vehicle. rich, san jose, ca
