Default As James Martin once said....

A Supercar disguised as an estate car, spent some time driving with friends today through Glencoe on a very similiar route to the 2014 Annual meet. RS6 managed to keep up with most of them apart from the Aventador (a remap should take care of that) although managed to leave a Ferrari California behind

Wow. Great photos Connor!


I have no idea who this James Martin bloke is, but he's definitely right.

If I had to take a guess from this lot, I suspect I could rule out this guy and the Sesame Street puppeteer. Perhaps one of the footballers?

My wife sometimes watched him on saturday morning cooking show on TV and by the time he grew on me he resigned.
I didn't realise he was into cars.
He would probably be quite agreeable as a presenter of a motoring show.
