[Borris-Bear]

Was sat behind it on the A3 this morning. was a Blue one reg N*** *** .

I know its sad but it made my day. Glad to see it being driven and not stored in a garage somewhere.

This one

[Flasher]

Was the number plate DOK 1C?

[Frik]

It's flemke.

Any chance you could edit the plate in your post?

[TonyHetherington]

That will be Flemke's F1, then

(Frik, beat you to it )

[Frik]

Helps if you edit the quote too Tony...

[megy]

Think the number needs editing in the quoted post underneath too.

D'oh, done

[AdamT]

Could this be an evolution of the "Flemke is this your mclaren?" threads???

[TonyHetherington]

I don't think the databases could cope

Yep that was the one lightish blue with dark wheels.

Was quite exciting really last time i saw one on the road was about 10 years ago on Staines bridge, i was driving my mk1 Fiesta Popular Plus.

Quite understand removing the plate though i looked it up in google and the full plate in even in wikipedia.

[Frik]

As is the nature of the internet.

However, I think as flemke tends to be rather generous with his time on here it seems only fair we respect his desire to have as much anonymity as is possible.

Was almost tempted not to come off at Wisley so i could follow it for a bit longer and have a good listen etc. Was a bit late for work though so had to come off.

Some rocket scientist has posted the reg number on Wikipedia?
Bloody mental midgets.
Hearing about this sort of thing tempts me to change the number, although I like the present one.

I hope you had a chance to enjoy the engine note, Borris.

Cheers.

Along with where the car is allegedly kept. Neither fact is on there now but no doubt some sad obsessive will add them back in due course...

Just had a look myself and the reg and where it is kept are both still on there along with a list of some of the distinguishing features of the car.

Flemke I wouldnt fear too much, the EVO adjusted plate is the one registered on Wikipedia, not the correct one.

Was only behind you for a few seconds before i turned off. Joined at the M25 junction was overtaking a 911 saw you in the inside and dropped in behind to have a listen couldnt believe my luck certainly brought a smile to my face.

Have loved the F1 since i first saw an article on it in a science magazine called Focus back in i guess '92 '93 ish, was about the second or third issue when the magazine first started i was probably in my first year of secondary school then. Might actually still have it somewhere.
