Which Supercar?
Just so happened to nip down the Honda dealer, parked in the car park beside it (a kitchen showroom) and noticed a McLaren (the new one) and a Ferrari California convertible.

Re: Which Supercar?
I was leaving work a couple of weeks ago and someone with a white McLaren MP4-12C was just pulling in to the industrial estate.
This being Aberdeen, and there's allegedly a lot of oil money around, there's quite a few tasty motors around; I've seen Bentley Continental GTs, Aston Martin DB9/DBS/Vantages, Lamborghini Murcielago/Gallardo, one Ferrari F40 (which I understand to be worth around £400k), at least one Ferrari 456M, more Porsche 911 variants than you can shake a stick at, a few Maserati GranTurismos and one Quattroporte, and I've seen at least five Jaguar XK/XKRs around (mk1 and mk2).
Makes me smile when my car still gets admiring glances from passers-by despite being in amongst all those high-priced GT cars and exotica.

Re: Which Supercar?
I thought the granite worktops were a bit pricey, wasn't sure what clientele they were aiming for.
Clearly owners of rare coupes need only apply ;)
Was only parking there too to nip into the Honda garage next door! - To let on this streetview before they moved in

Re: Which Supercar?
Not super cars but the other sunday i see someone at chapel has a c6, then up the road i see another (different reg) and the same day in omagh i see another c6. Have they become a classic already where the owners only take them out for a quick drive on sundays.

I used to see a taxi driver in Newtownabbey taxiing in a C6 when his colleagues had Octavias.
Classy way to get home from the pub.
