A32, Saturday, 3:30pm, northbound. Green V8S, L*** *** The only V8S we've yet met on the road (a 1 in <400 chance?)and we didn't see you wave!! Maybe our new sports exhaust is quieter than we thought ...

Aphelion, mist blue V8S, A32 southbound somewhere near Droxford

Yes it was me, a bit disappointed to have missed you I can normally spot a fellow Tiv from 2 miles away, apologises for not waving as you say you certainly don't come across too many V8S in your travels.
Took it for a quick spin in the rain/showers, so had the roof up, so unless your S sounds like a SEAC on full chat I wouldn't have heard yours over my own
Lovely stretch of road that, see the odd Chim and plenty of bikes going Mach 3, until they reach bends then they drop off

Funny enough when topping up with Optimax in Stubbington earlier a bloke on the forecourt asked what the car was, as his son in the car wanted to know what it was as he liked it, he almost fell out the car window when I started it up quite amusing really as the dad was wearing a dancing donkey hat

Well we were behind several Slow Ugly Vehicles through the middle of Droxford - difficult to spot really - only saw you at the last minute - but it's good to see what we look like to other oncoming vehicles (if you see what I mean - it's a view you don't usually get ). We were doing the 'scenic' route from Goodwood to Fareham by B2141/A272 - lots of bikes having fun. Hope to spot you again soon...

Being behind some other ugly mobile brick might explain it I normally have one of my boys in the car, but not on this occasion, they act as my radar for other cars of note, so to speak I sometimes travel that route in the opposite direction when going to Goodwood, good driving roads police tend be on them at the weekends to calm the bikers who seem to congregate at the Little Chef at West Meon and head E/W/N/S from there, all good roads though

I take it yours is a pre-cat, it must be even louder with the sports exhaust, hope to see it/you one day to compare notes/noise
