Haha, of course.
Usually see you somewhere near Whitchurch.
Have always thought it must be a PHer commuting in a car like that
I'm in the silver Honda Jazz (most invisible car ever!)

Uhm, yes... silver you say? Can't say I've noticed any of those Flash your lights next time and I'll give you a little wave back!

[v15ben]

Couldn't be more opposite to your car really
Will flash the lights next time.

I've seen a few MX5s around St Neots this week.. which one is you? Mine's a silver mk2.5 with boot-rack.

There's a few of 'us' in yellow. Coincidentally another lives just a few hundred yards from me!! And the other has a boot rack.

I'll look out for you

Yup, booked into the bodyshop for the 23rd. Off to pick up a door in Peterboghorror later today.

I've been working in MK for the last couple of months... there's a white 997 with custom reg starting PEZ which i regularly see, a black monaro and also a yellow one which i've seen for the last couple of days

[DougMcC]

Saw an absolutely immaculate A reg Sierra 2.0 Ghia on the A1 at Brampton last night!

Today I spotted another burgundy Capri on Mill road in Cambridge and a Lotus Eclat storming along Madingley road later on!

[v15ben]

I've seen that PEZ reg'd 911 around, not bad at all!
Parked next to this in Aylesbury Tesco last weekend.

Ouch! You're ok though?

Yup.. just a bit pissed off that it's only been back on the road about 3 weeks after getting it supercharged!

Oooh nice. Well. And not nice.

Does it have a nice SC whine? Or is that just you :-/ What BHP is it at?

(And who did the work?)

[FairfieldSteve]

If anyone sees a yellow/white Chimaera on a flatbed rolling up the A1 this morning let me know.....

The whine only becomes noticeable at around 5000rpm and up, and is probably more noticeable in the car than it is from outside. Currently running only 3-4psi manifold pressure and putting out 190bhp. I've still got the stock pulley on the blower.

I did much of the initial work myself but had a lot of stuff made up and installed by John of Brundall Motorsport including custom 6 rib pulleys and the install of the emerald ECU.

Next step is to get a 15% reduction pulley on the blower and fit the lightened flywheel and uprated clutch and go for a remap.

Some interesting stuff around today.
Lovely Sunbeam Alpine in Aylesbury soon followed by an orange GTR with ROBOT on the reg plate!
PINK Rolls Royce Silver Spirit in Bow Brickhill.

[FairfieldSteve]

Grey VXR8 on the Wilbury hills around 3pm today.

I like the sound of that. I know of someone collecting a SC'd Mk2 10AE this weekend. It's gorgeous.
I'm still considering an additional MK1 to do something like this to.

Never understood the keeping with one marque mentality. But I'm loving the MX5 world.

A work colleague picked up her first, a white mk3, yesterday too. She's really excited about it.
