Thanks! It's a great daily/track car. Has a Milltek cat-back on it which sounds great!

Bristol centre this morning

Dark colour VW polo ph sticker rear window getting some grief from a female cyclist

Then a lycra wearing Bradley Wiggins wanna be got involved

He threw his water over the car and what looked like gave some abuse too

Don't worry I was in the lorry a few cars back
Managed to get along side him a little closer than he would of liked .And once I got Hi attention I opened up the air horns

I think there is a small chance he may of soiled his lycra

Yes I'm a lorry driver and certain cyclist annoy me and other road users

OK so I never get any pics cos the guy's always driving the other way when I see him but there's an older gent who I often see driving round Exeter in proper vintage open-topped cars, look like 1930s-1950s era mostly and in fabulous condition, most of them I have no idea what they are apart from one that I think is a Bugatti. Yesterday he was out in some silver thing that looked like a plane witthout wings and had the most amazing offbeat engine noise. I must have seen him driving round about 15 times over the years but only ever in motion, never static which is a shame as I'd love to talk to him about some of his amazing machines! Anyone got any idea who I am talking about? He quite often has the full ensemble on, driving gloves, leather hat, goggles, the works.

Lovely (near) black 911 turbo parked at the shops in Yelverton at lunchtime. Looked lovely.
Bit later, a very original looking red MGB-GT with the roof wound back. I got all nostalgic.

Assuming we're thinking of the same person, he's got a silver Mclaren at the moment, saw him a couple of days a go up at Chester Road. Possibly a 12C, but I cannot tell the difference between the models if I'm honest!
