Finished my last exam today, felt a relief afterwards and celebrated with a relaxing walk around central london with my camera in hand. The weather is lovely and everyone in shining like a star. Saw a gazzilion gorgeous cars but when I spotted the Porsche 959 everything else just blurred. It was like holding a new born baby in your hands, you realize how unimportant everything else it. What a stunning marvel, barely 400 made and I saw one of them here in London today. 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds and it didn't look a bit old at all even though it's 20 years old. What a machine, easily one of the best cars I've ever seen. Pictures don't do the car justice, it was really THAT special.
Equally impressive was the Brookland, at first I thought it was a Arnage but then I saw that it only had two doors. It was parked outside receiving a minor mid-day bath in the form of polish with a damp cloth, while the owner was chilling indoors. The interior was white with black accents and black wood. I loved it before I saw it for the first time and now I love it even more.
BTW never judge a book by its cover. People here are very low key. The 959 owner wore a simply black suit and had on his left wrist a simple CASIO watch which probably doesn't cost more than 50 euro. The same goes for a random dude who jumped out of a black Phantom, looked totally like normal without any ice at all.
Two Lexus cars involved in a minor traffic accident.
