what do TC and luke do to be always out and about roaming the roads of essex to see all these rarities!?
Well I have a 30 mile (each way) commute and have to do a lot of running around for work biglaugh
I'm working on a project to drive every road & street in Essex... driving

Green SII Landie this morning & a red Lotus Esprit (X180) yesterday afternoon, both in Chelmsford.
I still need to follow through on my threat of taking a day off, just so I can take the TVR on a slow and noisy tour of Chelmsford, for 8 hours, in the vain hope of being spotted laugh
scratchchin I've never been spotted in mine either, so maybe do that on the same day & see if we spot one another. Just have to make sure that WHUFC aren't playing that day biggrin

No pic sadly as I was too busy avoiding potholes but saw a burgundy NA2 NSX leaving Brightlingsea yesterday.

Red 4C in Chelmsford on Thursday afternoon, traversing the Miami roundabout. Sounded fantastic.

Identical M2C to mine on the A127 heading towards A130 this afternoon. Got a wave from (judging by the number plate) A Wright smile

Then a lovely blue Opel Monza, on a C plate in Rayleigh. Was going the other way but it looked immaculate. Not seen one of those for years and years..

Seen loads of things over the past few days, but forgotten most of them. I do remember a blue A110 near SWF which was lovely, and a blue GT2RS on the B186. Also a Porsche 356 (modified) on a truck on the M25 yesterday afternoon.

Also, these.
