Ross's gull at Fraserburgh - drove into the car park and picked it up before we stopped.

The most expletives from passengers I've heard whilst driving were both produced by different low flying(European)Black Vultures
Most memorably F****** H*** look at the size of that F****** C****
Ring Ouzel over the road in front of me at Frodsham a few years ago, where I've also had excellent views of Long-eared Owl going post to post late one night from the car.
Once had an exhausted Leach's Petrel handed to me through the open car window at North Wirral Country Park. Presumably the same Laugher at Port Madoc as Phil, as well as the first I saw in the car park at Newcastle General Hospital a lifetime ago. Chimney Swift in Cornwall. (Can't recall where off hand, but there was a Bluetail a couple of miles down the road at the time - near Rame perhaps?) Black Stork in a dead tree somewhere in the welsh bordelands, Alpine Swift from a pub car park on the wirral. If I can think of any more I'll be back!

James, I've seen Leach's from a car INSIDE the Mersey tunnel!

We had a Barn Owl fly alongside the car by Kingussie Ger. In the deep snow it was a cracking sight.

Also had Snow Goose and Quail from the car in the flatlands on Lancashire (on different days mind).

Alan, well done for successfully pursuing the bird for 7 miles at 60mph!Great White Egret today on the Hampshire / Dorset border, spotted at about 60mph. Bizarrely I'd just flushed the same bird about 7miles further north earlier in the morning!
cheers, alan
Reminds me of the Quail that ran in front of my car at Frodsham some years back.
