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.

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.

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.

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.
