Saw him pulling out from Guilden Morden way today. He's never spotted me though punch
Are you normally in a red Evo?
Yeah. We often pass each other around Dunton or Eyeworth

Great spot Friday night, McLaren MP12, plate MP12 MAC, on Baldock high street. Must be a McLaren car?

Lots around this morning:


Blue BMW M4 at Kingston Tesco - not doing it for me at all!

Silver M3 CSL and a noisy Cobra replica in the centre of MK.
Black Triumph TR3 and a mint 2500 TC in traffic in Woburn Sands.

It looks huge. And unattractive.

Oh dear...

Seems to be the way of modern BMW's.. It isnt much smaller than my E39, but it is wider.

I thought it looked a bit bland.
Maybe the colour and wheel choice don't help either, but I'm certainly not a fan.
Much prefer this that I saw later in the day yesterday:



Also saw these.
The Lancia in Newport Pagnell and the 911 in the same place as the M4; Kingston Retail Park.
Porsche looked really well used!

This isn't fair! I live in Bakdock, and have never seen this, so can't be local! Will for sure be keeping an eye out though!

Feef is your 5 silver? And were you top down in St Neots (Somerfield car park) on Monday late afternoon? If so I like the noise - I was in the car park opposite - also topless.

Tebbuts road? Yes that was me. I saw your '5 opposite and did wonder if it was yours, but you said there were a few yellow ones about.

That lives literally round the corner with me, I think the owner maybe the guy who owns the graffiti square you posted before as they seem to share that space.

Yes. I'd just parked up and heading to the bank when you pulled in. Sounds good, supercharged too right? What else? What exhaust do you have? Looks & sounds nice. I almost came over but wasn't sure it was you.

I'm still hankering a MK1. But learning so much I'm becoming fussy!! Wouldn't mind a VR ltd, but want an import as don't like the UK interior. Although I was really after a white one...now I want certain wheels, mats, a supercharger, a...argh It's bloody addictive!!

Yeah there are a range of classics that use those spaces so I presume it's the same owner.

I live down end of the side road you can see behind the Lancia and a few PHer's work in the offices directly behind the car.

It's the MX5Parts twin exit exhaust: http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/stainless-steel-exhaust-...
That's all for the exhaust, the rest of the piping is stock.

What else on the car tho?

Supercharged, as you say.. but that project spawned...
Emerald ECU (with on-the-fly switchable maps, and I've mounted the USB socket in the glovebox to make tweaking it easier), custom 6-rib pulleys to drive the blower, trigger wheel and crank sensor

In addition:

IL Motorsport 48mm core radiator
Spal high-flow fan
IL Motorsport oil cooler
Intercooler
Tein lowering springs (only about 35mm but it makes a difference)
Maxton Designs front splitter
relocated the washer bottle to the skuttle with one of those nice alloy tanks
bonnet lift struts as the intercooler piping interferes with where the bonnet support normally lies
grooved/drilled disks and greenstuff pads.
Neilex short shifter
and some cosmetic stuff
