Spotted Orange GTS on A3

[CheesyM]

Travelling home tonight, I pulled onto the A3 right behind a bright orange VXR8 GTS. It's the first one I've seen and it looked great, but not exactly what you'd call subtle! I bet that gets a lot of attention. I was in my (by comparison) stealth evoke R8.

Was this V8VXR?
This was at Goodwood Friday at 6pm in the summer ball car park.
Still the press car I think!

iirc iy did 2runs up the hill at FOS on Friday..

I'm pretty sure the plate was F16VXR, although it did look like the press car. It would make sense if it was coming from Goodwood, since it was heading north near Guildford around 8pm.

That will be going up the hill Sunday.

I was on the A3 last night at that time. I had been to Picador in Southampton to pick up my GTS. What a great car, you have to get one.

Cracking first post, and congratulations on your purchase.

I look forward to seeing you an the car at a meet sometime soon.

Two Gen-F's in Surrey, we must meet up.

Amazing cars, had mine now for just over 2,000 miles.

Enjoy as I am sure you will.

Ah - so you were running it in. That would explain why you weren't even managing to get up to the national speed limit
