I commute to/from Taunton, usually see something interesting a few times a week, but never think to post anything here though. Have a black smiley on my MX5 roll hoops, must get one for my V60 though.

Red Mondial coupe this afternoon just past Tarnock on the A38
And yesterday a red 3rd gen Camaro in Taunton, with what looked like 305+ rears and straight pipes (wob wob wob wob biggrin), on the way out of Taunton, booted it under the station and probably scared the life out of the people on the pavement thumbup

Also see an R33 GTR almost every day going the other way through Monkton Heathfield, looks like one of the dark blue colours and with white wheels, anyone from PH?

Will look out for your MX5 (Live in taunton and walk to work).

The chap that owns the GTR lives on an estate near me, sounds quite fruity.

Saw a fantastic white Integrale Evo(?) on the M5 this afternoon. I first spotted it in the roadworks near Jct 4 but saw it a few other times as I headed South towards Bristol.
It brought back memories from about 20 years ago from the first time worked with Fabio Buzzi (of offshore powerboat fame) in Italy. I was met at the airport by one of his professional raceboat drivers, Luca, who drove me across Northern Italy to the factory in an Integrale Evo. I will never forget that journey, one of the most terrifying and yet exhilarating car rides I have ever had.

Saw a nice black 2005-ish Mustang on the A38 east of Plymouth tonight, terrifying all the other cars out of the way.

Unfortunately for them I then saw a big piece of their exhaust a bit later, and a bit later still, the car again, limping off down a sliproad.

If you're on here, hope it wasn't too expensive biggrin

Saw a nice red Ferrari 348 with a 348 numberplate driving near ASDA Bedminster in Bristol yesterday, about 8pm I guess. It really did sound lovely and screamy when he accelerated.

No sticker, but I think the blue Zonda going through the centre of Bristol last night at about 7pm is worth a mention!

Great to hear it's still out and about! Haven't seen it in a year or so myself.

No PH sticker, but an unusual spot..

1964 Lincoln towing a huge old caravan, both looked incredibly clean. On the A38 near Airbus this afternoon.
