Not regional, but a few people around the Norwich area posted in here last month. Where about's are you living Wing Commander?
I was around the airport at that kind of time. I got all excited for a second when I thought someone had spotted me at last!
My Saxo doesn't really look track prep'd. Apart from the lack of rear seats and parcel shelf it looks pretty standard at the moment.

Don't suppose I saw you near Acle yesterday? Saw a dark saxo which looked fairly standard but slightly breathed on, which had a TOW sticker on the bottom of the rear bumper.
I occasionally pop up Norwich way (one a week ish) so keep an eye out

Especially if you are driving that black beast in your profile! I might have to give my car a clean if I carry on getting spotted like this (rude-boy in a red Chim has already clocked me!)Edited by Wing Commander on Monday 13th September 13:11

I notice ure saab on beccles road all the time and have never seen it used in anger!.......Is it the turbo one?.....
Once up to temp, and on better roads, it gets a good spanking! Yes, it is a 2.3 Turbo. I am going to take the ECU out fairly soon, plug it into my computer and give it a bit of a tune up. I think I will probably be going to Stage 1 so about 260/270bhp.
First things first though, the car needs a good clean! It has been a few months!
My spots for the day:
2 Lotus Evoras. One red, one light blue. Both on the A11 going West but about 20 mins apart.

Sorry I did not get a chance to wave - had my hands full changing the wing on that bloody car!Bigfatnath said:
Wing Commander....
It was me who tooted you earlier (in the civic type r).
You looked like you were having fun with your saab in bits !.
Ahh, was wondering if that was aimed at me! There are people tooting all the time up and down the road, so it's hard to tell It was me who tooted you earlier (in the civic type r).

Indeed, the stupid saab is being annoying. The alarm keeps going off randomly and I can't work out what is causing it. In addition to this, the heated rear window isn't working properly. And also a door sensor is now shagged (but unrelated to the alarm, irritatingly).
So I broke the car down to into basic components and started putting it back together again - net result, haven't achieved anything except identify the duff door sensor. eBay doesn't have any
ho hum! Off to look for suitable replacement cars

Few spots from me today;
Nice blue Noble M400 Norwich bound on the A146 at 4pm ish.
Then spotted (I think) Wing Commander's Saab parked up near Bradwell at 4:30ish
Then lastly I followed a blue 02 plate Seat Leon sporting a PH smiley in the rear window along Blue Boar Lane in Norwich at 5:15 ish.
Woo! Another spot! Just a shame that the car isn't drivable as the fuel pump has died! Stupid thing isn't coming out easily either so it has spilt into tomorrow too. At least it's sunny Nice blue Noble M400 Norwich bound on the A146 at 4pm ish.

Spotted the wing commander too, looked like your were stripping out the interior just thought you were doing a bit of spring cleaning !
On the 9000, Saab were nice so made an inspection hatch in the boot so I can access the fuel pump without having to drop the tank. The downside is the contents of my boot have to come out. Just reminded me how much crap I lug around. Hopefully I can finish it tomorrow morning!
Good day for some spots in Norwich, albeit not PH stickers, just nice cars. Assume some will be PHers.
A nice gunmetal grey Aston (not sure on models) at the top of King Street
A couple of monaros/VXR8s, one in red again near the top of King Street, and a yellow one outside Chapelfield
A nice Evora and green Focus RS mk2 in chapelfield carpark.
AC Cobra at GY Tesco.
Today's weather makes me want something a bit more special than my current hack! Hopefully not too long now for some interesting metal!
