Just noticed from your profile that you live around the back from me at Haydon Grange. I use to have the M3 CSL and blue 993 before that. Now gone back to yellow Caterham ownership. My misses, formerly Joanne Crozier, went to school with you so we have met briefly before.

Carl

Hi Carl,
I had seen Joanne around and seen your Caterham too - very nice - I will be sure to give you a wave in future.

Cheers
Graham
Graham, if you see someone wave in a gray mini or Silver E class it may be me!! Love the sound of your Tiv.

Some absolute c*ock driving dark coloured 5 series tonight about 8 o clock came off at the A690 slip road, nearly went into the back of me then almost into the car in front before swerving across and nearly hitting the end of the slip road kerb and grass. Travelled up durham road towards town.

One of the reasons I got rid of the CSL. Hated the BMW image as quite often it is reality!! They produce some brilliant cars and there are some really nice owners out there including on here (Ian for one) but there are too many agressive BMW drivers out there. Came across one this morning sitting on my tail in his new shape 3 series coupe.

Oh definetly theres some great owners out there with BMW's i sold mine a while ago not for this reason though. I think its mainly because although some of the cars are a right enthusiasts car they also attract these knobs who think that because they have a BMW they have some kind of status. I got more stick in the BM than i get in the porka which suprised me.

I was undercover in the Golf, and going in the opposite direction so you wouldn't have seen me.

Lovely dark Blue Cerbera with PH sticker on the bumper and an old style silver on black plate parked near the waterfalls in Richmond this afternoon around 1.30ish.

I was the series 1 Elise causing mayhem and frightening the locals with my Larini. laugh

Also spotted a red M100 Elan in the car park of Comet on Teesside Park this afternoon, with the roof off! NICE!

Very rare spotted. A blue Lamborghini Urraco circa 1974. Followed along the A174 near Redcar this afternoon. Nice to see it driven hard and even nicer to see it spitting flames from those four exhausts biggrin
