The South West spotted thread!

Just saw a lovely maroon/red Lotus Evora on Winterstoke Rd, Bristol just before 9am.

Really great looking car, might be someone on here?

Overtook me in my old 1602 BMW towing vintage ice cream kiosk.

Love it!

Had a couple of people flatly refuse to believe I use a 42 year old car to tow the kiosk around Cornwall. It might be slow but I love the thing.

Hello!

Edited by slomax on Friday 22 May 22:10

Thats me :-) hello

I'm fairly new to the southwest, what were you in?

[slomax]

Was in my red c2 Loeb!

Was a busy day spotting today! Went for a run up the moors and then off into Cornwall. Got the sunburn to prove it too!

Saw a cream lotus 11 near yealverton. Old boy driving, looked original, was definitely aluminium and had a matching cover for the passenger side of the cockpit. Looked well used, as it should be

Then a blue Caterham up on the moor

And a triumph stag

And a red Morgan +4 in plymouth

Ohh nice, I must admit I didn't see you.... must check my rear view more. haha

Nice me too, I went for a hack up on the moors too and saw the cream lotus burbling around. Stopped off at the warren point for a drink and saw a number of porsches and bikes etc

Cheers.

Spotted you coming the other way (towards Falmouth) through Perranaworthal c 8:15 this morning. In my Blue(ish) 156. i knew I'd seen it somewhere before!

There may have been quite a large queue behind you!

I was off to Falmouth to do an event raising money for MacMillan.

Erm yes, there may have been a bit of a queue. That said, patience is a virtue.

Spotted an FD2 Type R heading into Bristol on the Portway on Tuesday. Looked incredible compared to the UK spec Type R

Also spotted a Clio V6 on Hartcliffe Way on Wednesday I think. Looked awesome!

White with grey wheels on the FD2?

Quite possibly. I was going the other way, and could only spot it was a "57" and was an FD2.

Sounds like the bro in law's car, he's had a raft of R's including DC5s, FN2s and EP3s. He's selling it to change to an R34 now!

That looks like it. It was white, and I know they're hardly common cars.

Congratulations RemaL. Something ironic about you living in a city of half a million people and your first spot is 70-odd miles away and posted on here almost as an after thought.
