Spotted an orange Koenigsegg on west bound M4 other day at Slough turn off unfortunately was broken down on hard shoulder :oops:

Also recently on M4 a rather fetching red Maserati Biturbo Racing, a car I lusted after a few years ago.

And at Buckland BP station last week a sprint blue (well the blue similar to noggy) R8 with aluminium side scoops, first one I've seen it that colour see about dozen a week virtually all black or silver. I'd have mine black/carbon thanx :D

Hmmm, I wonder if it could have been the one my mate sold last year. Can't imagine there are too many of them around. It was savagely fast!

It was a real head turner, and everywhere you went there were people asking what it was. Must admit, until he bought one in i'd never seen one before.

Obviously took them quite a while to get them from the drawing board to the production line though... at least a decade (this one was from 1992)!

ah i too have lusted after a maserati for years, my choice is the biturbo too. Ridiculously fast 4 door cruisers, also not many ppl know what they are so you can shock a few ferrari owners at the lights, love em lol

That blue one sounds like it could be an R8 V10

I saw the Koenigsegg too on the A40 in Uxbridge. It had some kind of hire stickers on the car so presumably it belongs to a hire club or something.

The dealer for Koenigsegg is in Pangbourne near Reading. They are also Spyker and Bentley. I feel I am 10 years old going round that showroom!!
