Grey Ford F-150 Lightning on Waterhouse Lane in Chelmsford this morning.
Light grey/silver? Saw a Lightning a few days ago on the A12 I think

Today:

Suspect the same one - cool as it would be for a matching pair to be rumbling about the county.
There are quite a few rumbling around (I've had 2)

I found myself thinking, if that was a Mclaren F1 I would be wooping!!!

But as it was I though, oh, unusual, but UGLY and of questionable taste were my thoughts.
Seen a Mc F1 on the road - blasted past me years ago on the A414 into Chelmsford. It was the Essex based one that was destroyed in a nasty crash sometime later.

Be interested to see a Senna though.
Oooh, local legend has it that it was Keith Flint who blasted his about locally back in the day smile

That's why it's a local legend hehe

Did he have one at all then? One of the band members did? Liam Howlett??

Nope, not that one - it was owned by a bloke who had an IT company (or maybe recruitment) I think; there's some old news reports online that give some more details (early 1999).

Years ago I did see one of the Prodigy in Braintree, not quite as exotic though - they were driving a modded MKII Astra GTE, looked cool though.

I haven't seen anything interesting locally in Kent for ages.

I had a little B Road convoy behind a nice 997 Turbo early one weekend morning a few weeks back, but that has been it.


The epicentre seems to be in Essex/

Some things don't change then, when Keith (RIP) owned and or ran the Leather Bottle in Pleshey he had a black Astra Van smile

No sadly I missed it. I'm in that car park virtually everyday but of all the days I wasn't, that happened!

Wow.

That needs to go in the bad parking thread too...I know the McLaren is low, but they must have felt a small bump biggrin

Immaculate looking white and green Triumph Herald on the A20 London Road around Ditton this afternoon.

Very young looking guy driving it. If he was the owner then full respect to him for not being one of the 'Corsa brigade'! cool

Few this morning: black MkV Cortina Estate in Danbury, TR6 & a black M-B AMG GT on the A414 on the way into Maldon & a Mini Marcos (long time since I've seen one of those) on the West Station Ind. Estate (also in Maldon).

Back in Chelmsford & a M-B W-123 saloon at the Miami roundabout.
