Oooh nice - I'll wave/speak next time I see you. I don't really want to do anything more/else to the California as is in such good condition as is. This is why I want a mk1 to fettle. Amazing how much room there is under the good really. This is my boyfriend's 10AE



He's got a white mk1 too which is another reason I'm swaying toward a VR ltd. And tbh I NEVER thought I'd have a 5!

Back on topic...



In St Neots today, looks like a daily? In decent nick. Love the colour.

Nice Escort.. my old boss when I was working in Pizza Hut as a student had one the same, colour and wheels too.

Here's what's under the bonnet on mine in comparison:

Ooooh. Busy shiny bits. I like!

It really did sound good to me

Seeing as we are in a MX5 mood, there is a 1990 LHD one with 164k miles for sale locally, and it is going crusty on the edges - he wants £3100 for it!! Surely, they don't go for that? That's about twice what my 2003 MGTF with 100k less would go for.

Way overpriced. When these things start to rot theres also a lot of cost involved, not to forget the miles and LHD part of it

My Fil has a lovely H plate mk 1 and he lavishes loads of time and attention on it - cracking little car.

That is comically expensive for a 164k MX5!

Various bits about today and a few photos too.
Followed the Rolls for miles down the M1 at 80-90mph and the Ferrari for a few miles - so loud!
Also saw an E-Type Roadster in a similar colour to the Ferrari - both in MK today.

I saw a black 360 on Saturday going for a hoon around Shuttleworth.
You passed me in the Tuscan as I was pulling out of the airfield. The car sounded amazing as you gave it the beans on some of the roads.
I was following at a bit of a pace but the car is new to me so I couldn't keep up!

This afternoon , 5 Aston Martins having a play /photoshoot on the B1090 just off the A1 between Sawtry and Woodwalton.

[tonyvid]

That is a great bit of road, my long way home for that pint of milk

Atom on the A600 heading into Hitchin from Lower Stondon on Friday.

A few minutes earlier, a blue S1 Elise in Hitchin-pointless me waving unfortunately as I was on my bike.

[Blayney]

Not from the area but studying in Cranfield part time. Just drovee up this evening from Swansea for a module. Spotted a few nice cars (around Bristol a bunch of rally cars) but...

Travelling along the M1 near Milton Keynes and spotted a Scoob in the inside lane, rally rep'd. Outside lane was a Jag XK. Then a bit further along I followed a lovely BMW 2002 tii it was black. Plate was something like SEL 420M I think... snyone know it?

[jaynobleM12]

I saw my half a dozen or so one on the 428 headed toward St Neots on Thursday. I think I've seen mostly black ones, just two in white.

Ha! On Friday whilst car shopping I quipped "Not an Aston, they're very common locally" - Five minutes later two drove past!

Currently perusing classifieds for a V12 :/

Spotted this in Lidl last week



Love the Cup Racer in mat black

[Speed_Demon]

Tuesday 6:15PM. Stotfold Rd. to Letchworth from Hitchin. Modified Silver R34 GTR.

Followed it for a little bit, sounded lovely and really made an impression. I was more hyped about the R34 than I have been many R35s, McLarens etc. Must be a secret Jap fanboy. Damn you Gran Turismo!

Quoting myself, but just saw a stripped and caged mark 1 Fiesta in a very similar location tonight.
Wonder if they have the same owner?

Love the Aston outside Lidl.
Reminds me of an F430 I saw outside a Lidl near Nottingham a few years back!

[Flying Toilet]

White Fiesta?
