Some Scouse bloke in a big Ash Waste lorry coming out of the Springwood Ind Est, managed to get in front of him at the roundabout so he didn't slow me down too much

He's got his own spotted thread Lensey, stick this in there!

Dark Blue TVR Griffith in Linton petrol station around 8:30 this morning.

That might have been Buzz Lightyear that I spotted a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, that was me - new name as "Buzz" login failed for some reason.

Hi Roo, How are you? Presume you knew it was me from the number plate off my old M5(?). Have seen you and your Mrs in the Mustang, Impreza etc.

I saw the orange TVR Vixen again yesterday evening on Loose Road, couldn't get a photo again, it looks mint!

I recognised the plate from when you used to own the Infiniti.

Aston Martin DB 2 in BRG in Rochford 17th June about 5.00 pm

White MK1 Escort - big rally fogs on the front, sounded epic.

Braxted wall this afternoon.


Also spotted a bronze/gold coloured Noble on the A120 near Dunnmow around lunchtime - plate started with G13. M12 I think.


A white V12V in Barnston heading Dunnmow bound - plate started with V12 shock horror!!!

MK1 Audi TT with a smiley on the rear heading towards Lee

Was this a soft top in a dark, metallic grey? (Edit - and lowered slightly)

It really is amazing what you can find in someone's garden whilst out extracting poo.

30 years ago, two Capri's in a Kent or Essex garden would be considered 'average'.


Good taste for this day and age though, what is that: 2.0 Laser, 2.8 Special and GXL Tina??

Just saw a lovely white Morris Minor at the Linton crossroads.

Subtle little V8 badge on the back. Sounded lovely.

This evening I was several cars behind a baby blue late '60s or early '70s Yank tank, I think it was a Buick Riviera, between Sittingbourne and Faversham.

Then on the A2 a black Noble M12 or M400, an '80s black Porsche 911 Targa and a white BMW M5 V10 with matt black bonnet.

lovely red mk2 rs2000 on the M11 around Loughton this evening

I saw you this morning Martin but I was in the Prius so didn't wave.

Nearly me! Lol. I was in my black Noble this evening on the A21 from Sevenoaks to Forest Hill.

Followed a lovely white Mk1 Capri on Loose Road, Maidstone earlier which sounded like it was running a V8 of some sort. Sounded awesome.

I've seen that around Maidstone a few times, last time was at Tesco in Grove Green, it has a '3500' badge on the lower front wing, so I'm guessing it has a Rover V8.
It does look, and sound, rather lovely!

Sorry, I wouldn't have noticed, or expected to see you in a Prius!

I drove by your work place late this evening, is that a Ginetta racing car in the showroom?

[Martin350]

And I forgot to mention, I saw a lovely looking black Renault Clio V6 heading towards Bearsted this evening too.

There's two of them. A blue G20GTC running a a 225bhp Zetec lump which gets used for trackdays and a red G40r that he competes in GT5 with.

Oh, and it's not my workplace anymore. I'm currently enjoying the rest of the year off work.
