Took these on Sunday before a party. Used my old Nikon D40 which explains the poor quality pictures (at this time of day the D40 sucks).

My time finally came today when I spotted the new 7-series

I actually left my friends and chased it in Christian Wimmer style

What can I say, the nose doesn't look too big in real life and over all it was a good looking car, but it didn't make me feel as if I was looking at a special car, didn't have the presence of an S-class. It was almost boring...The design would work for a 5-series, but as a luxury saloon....No.

That was my ride being tested in the UK.


The guys on Carspin say the car next to the SLR is an Alvis. An old British brand.

Wonder what is it doing all the way up there? Did it look like a test vehicle? And good job recognising the car

Perhaps it was some guy who'd decided to drive around the world.
It definitely looked standard (besides it's summer here, not many test vehicles around...) and of course I recognised it, I've been watching TG Australia...

Nothing special - the W212 just for Christian and the G 320 CDI because it's quite a rare spotting…
