Hmm, I actually love the cars in England, I just hate
the people ;-) ;-)
Last trip I saw 4-5+ Elisen (sp?), including one in
the parking lot at work, although I never figured out
who owned it. Maybe I was just noticing them. I also
saw a McLaren F1 on the M4 and a trailered 959. TVR's
are everywhere. Astons, Bentleys etc.
Stick to the South East and you'll see a lot of
exotics and semi-exotics never seen in the US. Move
out of the home counties and it's mostly hatchbacks.

Hatchback owner and loving it.
