In Undy recently. Looked great!


Today, in Chepstow, red BMW M3 (e30). Wonderful blast from the past.

Fail on my part not getting pictures at Colouworx meet in Newquay this morning. Good variety of interesting cars. LS swapped MX5 must be a handful. Very nice Stratos too. Did spot this VXR sounding good at Par Market this evening.

Was driving behind a black 996 GT3 today and it was filthy, absolutely filthy - my respect for using a GT3, great to see one which is not a garage queen. I followed it from near Bideford down to the M5, my van couldn’t keep up when it accelerated up the hills.
Numberplate was 3 digit and ended in BF.

This time of year highlights those cars that do get used regardless. Fair play indeed. 👌🏼

I use mine all year round and it is filthy most of the time. It's 991.11 black with red stripes. I also drive the Bideford to M5 route all the time either via South Molton , Crediton or Whiddon Down.

My number plate is

Childish.

Very pleased to see you dairying a nice motor. Best way to enjoy them. There’s a nice little meet at Tre Pol Pen just south of Launceston if you fancy a nice early drive on a Saturday morning. Next one is 14th January from 9am. Probably a nice run down for you as opposed to my trudge up the A30. 😂

We must be talking about different meets. I’m talking about Tre Pen Pol farm shop on the Launceston to Callington road. A388 I think. It’s normally on a Saturday morning. Wide variety of cars from Fiesta to 488 pista. Generally a good vibe and an important “Don’t be a d1ck” sign on the exit. I’ve been a few times and been a good meet to chat to interesting people. If you’re on Facebook I can invite you to the cars and coffee group. Next one is Saturday 14th.

Is there another meet in west Devon?

I use my 996.2 black all year round. They are such great cars.

Sorry I’m probably confused with another run I saw advertised to go there. I’ve not been there yet myself.

That's me! 😀
I also went to Colorworx that morning but only stayed for an hour.
Went to my first Tre Pol and Pen meet last November, enjoyed that and will be back again.

We were parked next to you in a Black jag SVR. That changed in November to an M3. Not seen any mention of any more Colorworx meets. Tre Pol Pen meet next Saturday 14th,say hello if you go. 👍🏼

Thanks, it only seems to get spotted when parked up.
I am still a bit unsure on the wheels and their colour (only had them on the car for about 5 years!), but I do get some positive comments about them.
