that's great to hear, most definitely deserving of regular exercise!

More than enjoyed that little fly by the other afternoon! Would be fantastic to see it up close some time. The road the bridge I take my pics from is Bushmead Road. Easy to find from the Great North Rd off of the A1/A428

Here's the pic from yesterday -

Great shot I will add that to my pics .Many thanks for posting it.

I live on the 645 and often see/pass you admiring the plate - driving a yellow MX5, and being a 'nut'

Sandy I take it you actually live at Sandy? I've seen your car floating about and the noise is just immense, heard it on full chat coming off the roundabout at the Co Op garage and it was like watching the start of The Cannonball Run with that V12 howl! Funnily enough my 9 year old car fanatic cousin was over from Australia for Christmas and managed to get a photo stood beside it. I agree that using them is best, with my cars I use them all at least 3 times a week and the only problems I've ever had have been after letting them sit for a while. Hopefully I'll see you about on my travels

Yes I live near Sandy ,yes the cars current spec is tubi exhaust and tips and larini sports cats, so it's about as loud as it can get without being illegal. On full wack it's 94db in the cabin so it's earplugs time really. But yes getting that v12 howling is one of lifes joys and yes it hates standing still, hates being driven around town at 20mph so where conditions and traffic allow I do try and drive it as it should be driven !! Yes it wasn't driven in 10 months by the previous owner and my bills to get it operational were high four figures so USE solves so many issues !!

No problem at all

Be more than happy to take a few better ones with some of my better equipment any time!

Saw a lovely red Jaguar F-Type convertible parked up at Fairfield Hall today.

Navy Jag, reg J99*** around Biggleswade on the A1 this morning, I noticed the PH sticker on the rear and you were making decent progress around the bypass before diving off into town

Oh dear, did it look as though everyone had got out OK?


I just had a blat through a tunnel with a Megane F1, is that anybody on here? I think your passenger was filming our noise!

I'll keep an eye out for you in future! I'm normally in my silver Y reg Saab estate.

[Evo9lution]

Saw a nice grey (at least, it looked grey in the darkness) R32 GTR driving southbound on the A1(M) at the Biggleswade Bypass about 19:30 on Saturday 23-Jan-16.

It was being driven sedately (I was in - not driving - the Prius that overtook you) while being buzzed by a red 200SX / Silvia, that stunk strongly of petrol, and two old 3 Series BMWs

[v15ben]

Saw a couple of nice bits in central Milton Keynes yesterday:





Also saw a heavily modified red Monaro outside a house in Bletchley and a grey Merc AMG GT Coupe by the Wavendon Arms pub today.

[E36GUY]

Black Ferrari California spotted with the roof down this morning around ten past 9 in Caxton village.

[Boydie88]

Is the black F Type coupe that cheers me (VX220) up on my morning commute out of Royston on here? Want to trade for these winter months?

Black or dark blue? There is a dark blue one that would come towards Royston each morning that I know of.

Are you the silver VX220 I often see around Whaddon / A1198?

Could be dark blue, its still a bit dark out when we see each other. Usually see each other in Barley.

I'm a blue one, I know a yellow owner that's often in Baldock and I've seen a red one once in Melbourn, never come across that silver one.

[Forthright MC]

Saw my first Rolls Wraith in the wild this afternoon. Heading onto the A428 from the Gt North Rd in Eaton Socon.



Couple of TVRs in the same area too (Cerb & a Chim, both in green)

[v15ben]

An unusual couple of cars in rush hour this week.
A red Honda NSX in Wavendon on Tuesday evening.
A Willys Jeep of all things in central MK traffic on Wednesday!

Forthright MC, I am seriously unimpressed that you've not managed to get a snap of either my 360 or 430. I'm in St Neots, they're frequently driven and until recently, quite often driven up the A1 under the Bushmead bridge, because I was living in Eaton Ford. Most upsetting. Must rectify. The 360 is quite loud
