Spotted a terrible Ferrari (or should that be Fauxrarri) F430 replica driving round Norwich earlier laugh
Seen this a few times now and I laughed as my mondeo tdci pulled on him off the line. Definitely looks like a mk3 MR2

Dark grey or black Audi RS6 Avant this evening at Thickthorn. I followed you onto a heavily trafficked A47. Reg number looks a bit like 'Danny' when viewed from about half a mile away! hehe
I believe the place used to be on an M5 kitted E39 540i, but I may be making that up! smile

I half expected that the East Norfolk and Suffolk Spotted Thread members would have spotted the 20 or so PH members leaving Norwich yesterday morning, but no. Not a snowballs chance in hell of the Cambridge contingent being spotted, even though 25 of us were giving it beans around the Thetford area. Never mind, lots of great machinery on view.

Coming back from Cambridge last year, I saw this very car.
Then he saw me.
Then a very evenly matched roundabout to roundabout acceleration test ensued around Thetford.

He turned off to Thetford when turned off to Watton at the northern most roundabout.

I learned later from PHer el ringo that it's a standard car (well it was at the time), except for an upgraded cat-back exhaust with quad tips.

True......but there must have been a few non-mates there, and I'm sure Darren would have been pleased if the whole crew got a mention

I wish I'd made it. The V8 Super-Saloon tear-up on the last run I did involving me, Darren, KevF and Sinizter will be something I'll never forget! hehe
I would have loved to have heard our convoy that day! smile

Thursday evening, there was a grey R8 V8 on the ring road near PC World and a dark DB9 coupe on Prince of Wales Road.

Spotted at Elvedon yesterday, within half a mile, a red 08 plate Bentley Continental, a blue Vectra VXR, an E60 M5 and an Audi S5.
A bit futher down the road was another Continental.
I then followed a sedately-driven black R8 V8 down the last stretch of the A11 as it joins the M11.
