Got close to the marked Traffic Octavia Estate in Southampton today,has anyone noticed the "drift charm" hanging off the back?

PS I would have got a pic but it was a bit inapropriate as a member of my staff had found a dead body in Holt Rd and they were on scene wanting to interview him.

Spotted, TJR and GruFFnuT in Bitterne this afternoon! Nice to see you guys, feel free to pop in again.

Finished the Abarth, have plenty of cuts and bruises to show for it, just got to give it a test tomorrow.......

Glad you got it sorted mate, was worried as the night was closing in!! Everyone needs to see the VXR8 now it is in full stealth mode!

Also saw Legacy's new 61 plate STI Impreza saloon in Bedford place last night about 23.00hours. Quite a sight.

Was returning from a Team Langoustine lunch in Winchester just now and on the M27 around Hedge End I spotted a black BMW, possibly an M3, (I was going a little to quick to study it) with smilie on the back bumper. Woza was behind me in his grey Elise

In the space of 2 miles and about 3 minutes:

Black caterham, all stickered up coming down maunsell way in hedge end.

Black 1M going towards fair oak (I pointed open mouthed, think he may have seen me!!).

Dark Vantage coming along the m27 east bound at '70', closely followed by:

Silver Elise with orange decals. Think we gave eachother a look as he overtook me!

Not a bad journey all told!

ETA - seems like a popular route for PHers this afternoon then!!

Lol, that's cheating. It's been there for weeks! Is it in view of the road?! I haven't been round in ages. Bit odd he left it in sight of the road.

Yep, but not in any of those cars unfortunately.

We were having a meal at the jetty. Saw a Lamborghini Murci in orange in the car park, reg FA51CAR, a DC5 Intgra Type R and an Aston Martin Roaster, think it was a Vantage - latest shape.

Saw a Z8 in Crawley last week. It's now on show at the Vines dealership. Looks LUUUUUURVLY. May have to pop in and have a look. I'm guessing the owner's initials are PAR or they're into golf judging by the 'plate smile

A PH meet or something else? I didn't know there was one, or I might have popped along!

I've seen a matt black Range Rover in the area a couple of times, I'm sure it has a very similar plate - FA57 instead of FA51 maybe... I remember thinking that it probably wasn't the most appropriate vehicle to have the plate on!
