Spotted a blue Megane R26 parked up at The Wheatsheaf yesterday, with a TVR related plate on it.

TVRCC NE meeting - car belongs to an ex-TVR owning member. He couldn't a proper car so bought a Reno hatch back instead...

That would be me less of the lip pete!!

Ha - to be fair I'm not sure I'd want to go wheel to wheel with TIVER and his R through the twisty bits!

Few nice spots today too, best being a black Maserati GT near Howburn - just got my window down in time to hear it! Also a red Evora a bit further down the road.

They are absolute fly machines, even my previous full fat R26 would give some very serious hardware a run for their money.

Yeh, with a decent pilot on board...

Is yours the gold leaf liveried one in your profile pic? I may have seen you one morning last week when I was filling up at the Shell garage neat Annitsford - travelling around the roundabout and heading up towards the Moor Farm roundabout...Thursday morning 7.45am ish I think it would have been? Nice car by the way.

Are we talking Elises? If so mine is the one on the left, ardent red with black wheels, the other one is a Type 49 owned by a local chap, so you could well have seen him around.

Black R35 GTR in Crook today around 3ish.

I saw a bright orange 911 out the corner of my eye from my desk today, could have been a gt2 or a turbo I think? (had the side intakes, big spoiler etc)
997
Over Thornaby near the Alfa/Fiat dealer.

[Neith]

Saw what I think was a pale green (mint) Rolls-Royce Phantom turning into James Cook Hospital from Marton Road at around 5:20 tonight. Can't be sure as it was obscured by some traffic but I saw a bonnet ornament and 2 circular front lights so I think it was a Phantom.

I saw the white one too, quite unusual looking thing though. White with black wheels/lights and a hardtop on a cabrio.

Saw my first i3 yesterday too. In the flesh they look pretty cool, I'd have one.
Getting a job in a busy part of the area at the front of a business park has it's perks, my desk looks out onto the roundabout into thornaby business park/alfa fiat dealer etc.
