The South West spotted thread!

[Pebbles167]

Very interesting about the Batmobile post above, certainly unlikely to see something like that again!

Also, today I spotted "steve miami" in his very lovely mx-5

Red Ferrari 458 in Wells today. Beautiful car in a beautiful city

Red Ferrari Enzo, reg ENZ6, rumbling through Burley yesterday afternoon.

Is anyone actually spotting the PH stickers, or just flash cars?

Many of us don't have stickers on our cars.

I thought the consensus here was that posting 'flash' motor spots was ok.

[Pebbles167]

I thought flash cars were ok too.

That said, I never bother as I see so many day to day. I only post up if it has a sticker, or is a known members car like the MX-5 above.

Parked up next to a gorgeous deep metallic blue modded Brera with graphite wheels in Easton Tescos on Saturday. Would post a pic up but my phone camera had dust on the lens and it didn't come out. Gorgeous although maybe a smidge heavy on the carbon weave in places for my taste.

Apologies if I upset anyone, but I did think the idea was to spot fellow pistonhead users.

I'm glad it's not, would be a tad boring (and quiet) if it were.

THE Batmobile! The original one from the TV series.

On a trailer on the slip road at J15, M4 at lunchtime today. The guy had stopped to check the straps on the trailer so we stopped.
Well who wouldn't stop if they thought the Batmobile was in trouble?

He was on his way to Cornwall to take a girl to her Prom night! How cool is that.

I also checked the registration and it shows it is registered as a Lincoln Batmobile, it couldn't gent any better unless Samuel L Jackson & Morgan Freeman were in it as well.

(Photos when I can figure out how to load them from my IPhone)

Photo evidence...didn't see a PH sticker so not sure if allowed.

I once saw Thomas the Tank engine on the M4.

If the owner wasn't aware of PH I'd be surprised tbh.

but it is and the idea of the thread. Well why moose posted the thread. I do my best to only post if I spot PH'er in the south west. I seen loads and have lots of pics of events like Le mans so not as per the thread idea. So don't post up here

I notice we seem to be lacking a thread for this compared to many other PH regions, so I thought I'd start one smile

I very, very rarely see cars with PH stickers on, but I did this morning:

Vehicle: Charcoal black Nissan Navara pickup with large white crossed pistons sticker on the back of the cab
Location: M5 Northbound near J20, Clevedon
Time: 8:30am today

Someone on here surely

Well,

Yesterday, Longwell Green around 0830 - Red 360 with a F1 360 type plate


But, this morning (and I know it has been spotted by others, but gives me such a buzz to see)...........

M4, Eastbound near the M32, our friendly bike cop with the PH smiley on his rear plates

Love it!

I couldn't give two sts if a Clio or MX5 has been spotted with a sticker, but I do like seeing different/rare cars that have been spotted (like the majority of this thread) around the south west.
Thread is fine with a mix of both.

Yeah, just missed you by about 5 years.
RemaL has (badly) quoted the first post of the thread, from 2009, there...
