Hmmmm......

Well, it's still British, and it's got a roof, so that makes it a bit like a Cerb....

Yeah - why not ! Just make sure you give one of us your mobile number in case we loose you anywhere !

See you at 8:30-9:00.....

I think I might have seen you guys - just as you were parking up. Two cerbs, a 355 and white skyline with an 'interesting' exhaust note. Must have been about midday. Unfortunately not in the cerb, but a dark blue M5.

Jag never turned up...or maybe it did and left us all for dead - not sure !! Anyway we came home M42 M40 - doh...car park and numpty driver city..(why does everyone sit in the outside lane constantly braking when you can do over ... in the middle lane and inside lane cos no one is there !!!) Made the most of the weather though with the roof off the whole way up...

How badly scratched is the car ???

Not badly scratched, but peed me off. Took 10 mins to remove... almost as if someone with a ring on had run their hand down the side of the car....
Muppets.

take a look at www.mharle.com/images/robin2.jpg to see what hampered my progress on the M1, it was doing 50-60 in the fast lane (i kid you not).

No wonder it hampered you - those things can really corner well - and you never know he might have had a V8 rover lump in the back.....wheelie city..

I know it entertained a few other road users that passed us on the inside. I really dont think he meant to go into the fast lane. I think he made a wrong turn. The look of fear on his face when he finally pulled over was fantastic.
