a bit silly really but yesterday morning this pulled up next to me at M1 J13 off ramp traffic lights.

The driver - who appeared to be in a suit - drove this "enthusiastically" shall we say, the back end stepping out a couple of times as he followed the round about and exited towards MK. The sound was bloody amazing. I could not help laughing. Great 20 second show! :thumbs:

Given the location it may well be Simon 'Merry Printers' Diffey on the way to work - he was racing it earlier in the year in the VSCC's Pomeroy Trophy

Looks like Felix the cat running.

It says Simon Diffey on the door too.

That is the name written on the drivers door.

Simon is a thoroughly nice chap and a handy driver. His late brother Jim is still missed in historic racing circles, he had the same naughty streak and huge skill too!

+100

I'm not sure if it is actually Simon's car although he races it - as I said given the location likely to be him at the wheel

Definitely Simon, he came to the local pub in it the other night. We were standing chatting in the back garden and we could hear it coming 5 miles away.
Straight through pipes, no silencers, sounds lovely!!!!
