On my way home from work today I saw Mike Brewer driving a Frogeye Sprite. This was just down the road from the MG garage in Beech Hill near Mortimer in Berks. There was a film crew down the road (not sure if they were video or stills as they were packing up when I passed) and a bit further down just outside the MG garage itself was a flat-bed truck which I guess had delivered the car.

Just thought I'd mention it as I NEVER seem to see anyone of note anywhere laugh

Any guesses as to which program this would be for (assuming it's for TV)?

Nobody at all. It seems the best car I normally see on the roads I drive to/from work is my own knackered Focus! Shame really as the roads are great - it's actually a pleasure to drive the 22 miles of back-roads each way every day! In fact sometimes I drive that route at weekends just for fun laugh

Starting from home in Finchampstead...
Through Arborfield Garrison
Across A327 through Farley Hill and on to Swallowfield
Onto Beech Hill Road over A33 through Beech Hill
Past Mortimer Station and up through Mortimer
Along the long straight road through West End to Padworth Common
Here I get a choice of direction around AWE. Usually I go the quicker South route through Tadley but if I have plenty of time I'll go the north route along Red Lane through Aldermaston and back towards Tadley on A340
From Tadley I go on B3051 (first road I hit with a number wink) through Ashford Hill to Kingsclere where I work.

The best bits of the route are the B3051 and the bits between Mortimer and Swallowfield and again from Swallowfield to the A327.

Not a route where I'd spot you then smile

Although it's sounds like a fun route to do when the roads are quiet smile

Mine, in comparison, is pretty dull .... but good for the spotted thread ...

Down the A30 from Sunningdale, onto the A322 down the M3, then head down to jct 5.

And the opposite on the way home.

Unless I've had a REALLY crap day, in which case I'll come home all the way on the A30 :drive:

A few weekends ago I saw a load of Porsches going the other way along Red Lane coming from the Aldermaston direction. Obviously a Porsche club out for a drive.

Well I recognised him! And clearly you know who he is too! Admittedly, I've never been a fan of any program he's been on...

I told the wife he was spotted on 7 miles from home. She hasn't slept since for fear of the pie eater being so close. LOL. She knows all his cockney rhyming and shouts wker at the TV when he's on.............
