.....on Saturday morning;

1. Light green Chimaera sounding great burbling along the High Street
2. Black Cerbera going towards Oakham on the Uppingham - Oakham road near Manton turning.

Anyone here...?

Steve,

Yes, looks like the colour of the one I saw, but I didn't see the plate. Your roof was off but back bit was up I think?

Are you local (I'm in Uppingham)?

Not really, North Notts, was just going the 'fun' way to Rockingham rather than down the M1 as I was in no hurry and the A606/A6003 road has some great corners linked by nice long clear straight bits.

Agree it's a great road. If I sometimes haven't taken the S out for a while I often drive to Melton Mowbray and back just for the hell of it!!

Thanks Ian...I just bought some new pro-tech shocks as it happens so that should sort the lean out a bit

Sadly tho it's not going at all at the mo as it was recovered to the garage on a low loader last night after the engine started making the sort of noises you pray never to hear
