Not regional, but a few people around the Norwich area posted in here last month. Where about's are you living Wing Commander?

Think I saw PetrolHeadSeb yesterday...

Wasn't me mate I was around the airport at that kind of time. I got all excited for a second when I thought someone had spotted me at last!

My Saxo doesn't really look track prep'd. Apart from the lack of rear seats and parcel shelf it looks pretty standard at the moment.

Am based in Bradwell (near Yarmouth). Am driving a dark green Saab 9000 2.3.

Don't suppose I saw you near Acle yesterday? Saw a dark saxo which looked fairly standard but slightly breathed on, which had a TOW sticker on the bottom of the rear bumper.

I occasionally pop up Norwich way (one a week ish) so keep an eye out

Hi WingCommander, I have spotted your car in Bradwell.......

Whenever the car is there, I am there. Feel free to stop for a cuppa/chat anytime Especially if you are driving that black beast in your profile! I might have to give my car a clean if I carry on getting spotted like this (rude-boy in a red Chim has already clocked me!)

Im in Belton, I drive a Bw Refrigeration van during the day, and a black 02 plate civic type r when the wife doesnt drive it (with PH smiley on the back)..


I notice ure saab on beccles road all the time and have never seen it used in anger!.......Is it the turbo one?.....

When you say you see it on Beccles Road, do you mean me out driving? Along this road, I am very sedate. 30mph limit with the school at the end, and anyway, the car is either still warming up or cooling down when I am on this road.

Once up to temp, and on better roads, it gets a good spanking! Yes, it is a 2.3 Turbo. I am going to take the ECU out fairly soon, plug it into my computer and give it a bit of a tune up. I think I will probably be going to Stage 1 so about 260/270bhp.

First things first though, the car needs a good clean! It has been a few months!

My spots for the day:

2 Lotus Evoras. One red, one light blue. Both on the A11 going West but about 20 mins apart.

Spotted Fast Eddy's Metro earlier today coming out of the Shell garage on Ketts Hill in Norwich. Looked good

[Saxaboom]

Spotted Blue Audi S3 KM09*** @13.55 (I took a pic so I remembered)

Gold Ph decal on the back driving around the ring road going past b&q. Sounded awsome

I thought the same,....... was working in the spar shop on the camp and spied lots of nice metal in the car park....New golf gti, bmw m3 cab (e46 i think), new mx5..


Its only supposed to be the sun newspaper £9.50 lot on their hols at the moment......

[iluvmercs]

They have an on-site Spar?! It's gone up in the world
Many a childhood hour was spent on my push bike, being endlessly chased by the security guard in his Bedford Rascal pickup truck/van-thing. Ah the memories!

I've seen a red Ferrari California in
Newmarket

I think that is Frankie Dettori's

Edited by markCSC on Friday 17th September 10:35

Nope. He got rid of it ages ago, and it was the Stradale with the ceramic brakes.
That's the reason he sold it, coming up to a roundabout they hadn't warmed up properly so "Didnta fkina worka!"

He's just got an S class diesel merc now.

I hear he likes the R8/10.

[Wing Commander]

There is a black 09 plate Nissan GTR in Bradwell. You were coming out of the mini Tesco - I gave you a thumbs up but not sure if you saw me. Lovely car

Nice little yellow f430 at the football right now.

That would be me.... I wondered if i would be spotted. The PH Smiley is Carbon effect, really need to get another one and do it properly...

I saw Iluvmercs a while back in the Shell Petrol station by Burger King. Lovely RS4 Sir, guess yours has a worse habit of V Power than mine does.

Take Care

I was going to beep and wave but as I was in Suzuki Carry van and not the Integra I thought i'd best keep the lowest profile possible

Thanks. It certainly has a filthy petrol addiction, but I can forgive her for that
I love those S3s, though - very impressive hot hatches!

I couldn't remember the reg plate, but I remember the occasion - it's the only time I've seen a Blue S3 there while I've been filling up
I remember giving the occupants a "I know that's an S3" smile, without really thinking about the fact I wasn't able to see said occupants within I also managed to miss the PH sticker. So another is in order

That's my usual watering hole, so I'll keep a look out in future.
