Ok, so not technically the south west, but seeing as you were on the m4 heading that way I'll give it a shot.Orange GT86 on the M4 Reading area tonight at 7ish.Fairly confident it had a Ph sticker on the back.

OMG GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only taken 10 years but a spot. It's got a large white Jap PH sticker by the reversing light and one on the back window

I've just come back from Dover after a week touring France, Switzerland, Germany Luxembourg, Belgium etc...


Was me. Left Luxembourg yesterday morning at 7AM. Drove to Calais then ferry over and to my sisters engagement part last night

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.

It was always going to be that way. I don't need to travel much in bristol for work. Most of my interesting toys only get used when not in work and often use them over in Wales or the south. The problem with PH stickers is that the people who spot them don't know what area they are from.

Doing 60 in a 60 heading towards Trowbridge and this pulls out in front of me, a bit late, but thought he'll get up to speed. Non of it, took him an age, had to slow down to 30. Why drive drive like an old lady in that. Should sell it and get a Roller or something.

Fancy go faster trim.

What's that?

Perhaps it will now be the first of many, the floodgates have been opened! Sounds like you had a pretty epic trip so a good week all round for you. I was on a bus, drowning my sorrows returning from Twickenham. I was half cut when I saw your car, hence the uncertainty about seeing the sticker on the back of it. Car looked good though

That's two ginger GT86s here in a week!

Congrats. It's a small thing, but raises a smile.

I'm Bristol based and live not far from RemaL and followed his spot (or lack of) intently, given that I had to be in with a chance of seeing him.

Re the football section, yes, I'm amazed I venture out of it now and again though....

Well if not far sounds like a reason for a pub meet sometime.

GloverMart is between Crown & Horseshoe and the Dolphin, I think. Not much to recommend either really.

Spotted a blue MK1 Lotus Elise on Cumberland Basin this morning, was in the opposite lane so couldn't see if it had a PH smiley.

Black GT86 exiting ring road towards Mangotsfield 07.30 this morning.

Had a spot of fun this morning on the M5 with a white Aston Martin Vanquish with the plate 1AML on it as we passed W-S-M.

Every day I love my V8 MG even more!

Good point well made, your lordship. There is the Cherry Tree too which is under new management but there was trouble in there on Friday night, not sure it's any better really.

Nice blue, early Monaro in Chippenham yesterday ~18:30.

Just followed a gorgeous FIAT 131 rally car from the A30 towards St Agnes. It sounded wonderful.

I think that's Aston's' press car, currently being driven by Chris Harris I think.

Spotted this Merc today near temple meads.

[carreauchompeur]

How the bloody hell have they done that?!?

[MudSkipper]

Spotted a silver R8 this morning on Golf Course Lane, Filton. No PH sticker that i could see.

[LordGrover]

White Hart Iron Acton yesterday evening, a brace of 60s fastbacks (I think. I'm not good on US muscle ).
