    Due to the amount of off topic posts in this thread, we have had to introduce new rules for this this:

    No posting of what you saw without a photo. Any of these will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned.

    Please do not post any off topic posts in this thread. We will accept any posts that are in relation to the pictures of cars posted, but any off topics posts will be deleted. The off topics posts will not be dealt with on the thread, but in pm with the user.

    Please do not comment on the owners of vehicles posted on here. Saying the likes of 'only a muppet would drive something like that' will not be tolerated on this thread any more. Have your personal opinion on the vehicle, but leave the owners, their occupations and all other begrudgery out of it.

    Please do not quote pictures, it becomes annoying to see the same picture over and over throught posts.

    Repeat offenders will take a break from the Motors forum.

    Summer 2015. I never posted those before and because we are starting part 3 so i though it is a good opportunity.

    Photos taken at Salon Privé Concours d'Elégance - Blenheim Palace. UK

    Enjoy.

    The Reventon just isn't special any more. It looks like a watered down Aventador.

    What on earth is going on with the roof of the silver Lambo spyder? Looks like an umbrella that got caught in the wind! :eek:

    The Reventon was never special IMO - that particular car has been for sale for years now. It's rare but at the end of the day it's a Murcielago with a ridiculously overpriced bodykit. Same goes for the Veneno. Hard to take Lambo seriously when they come out with rubbish like that.

    They've been doing it ever since Audi took over. There's been countless special and limited editions of the Gallardo to the point that none of them are actually special.

    So I found myself very un-busy around Co. Louth today. Spotted a few nice cars in the few hours I was there though!


    Mercedes C220d (AMG according to Motorcheck). Looks great from the front but horrificly ugly from the rear.

    Ford Fiesta Red Edition. Nice car all around but the interior was very nice for such a small car. Everything just lit up once you open the door - even the cupholder has a red light around it!

    The new Ford Mondeo. The colour is unbelievable. Thats really all I took the picture for :pac:
    IMG_1649_zpsltbczazh.jpg


    And then this BMW M3. I couldnt really walk by without taking a picture of it :D

    That C class coupe is comical looking from the rear.

    It looks like they just resized a picture of the saloon on MS paint

    Mercedes have really lost the run of themselves lately with the styling of some(all) of their range. That C class looks pitiful.

    It's the lack of a muscular rear wheel arch that kills the design IMO.....

    Muscular arches aren't going to help much when the rear looks like it got too close to a heat lamp and started melting :eek: Talk about a saggy ass!

    That fiesta looks a bit tacky with that red and black paint scheme. Those 2 colors don't go well together on that car.

    Doubt if that's an m3 ? I thought when saw pics of c class coupe it would make a s class coupe seem a waste of money as they looked so similar but as with c class saloon just shrinking a s class and doing nothing else doesn't work

    I saw it a few months back at heatwave. It wasn't to my taste but still a nice car.

    Not so much what I saw (a merc saloon),but where it was from .Nauru.
    It's a speck of an island 2000 miles of the coast of Australia.
