Were you on one of the static boats opposite ?

Silly me, I pulled out of Leftovers (ordering a spare part for the soft top) and then proceeded to drive up the wrong side blah bit of a spanish holiday driving hangover! Thankfully I guy near the RNLI pointed at the right side before any other driver saw me. wavey

A pair of grey S1 Elise's in Chippenham, one in the service station which I followed out, and another a few cars ahead on the way up to the M4.
First one I believe had a 'supercharged' badge on the back as, it was very loud that's for sure! Could barely here mine following it at motorway speeds.

Hi Grinnders - saw you yesterday at Lilliput (shopping)
Hi Goobs. on hols.. it's amazing how many Loti are out and about in the daytime !

On Friday I saw an old Black S2 (?) Esprit on Lilliput road, followed by a green S1 Elise driven by a young guy wearing a very dodgy porkpie hat. Not a good look... although TBH I was pushing my daughter in a McLaren with a Recaro child seat inverted over the top. Spotted a couple of others too whilst in M15US G golf

I had to read through that a few times... I read, "I was pushing my daughter into a McLaren, with a Recaro child seat in it"

How great to think of an F1 as a child-friendly car!

rofl hahaha awesome spotted!

that was andymaserati in his Esprit S3 and myself in my S1 Elise on our way to the Dorset Road Trip 2008.. regarding the hat, it was a dare from TomTVR that I wouldn't have the balls to wear it all day with the roof off - I know I looked like a prick but it was worth it for the mirth biggrin

I think I remember you looking at us, gret t-shirt perhaps? I thought: perhaps a PHer? thumbup

We do try working hard along side car manufacturers to ensure that atleast one of our child seats fits into the odd supercar......... I was on the shortlist to fit David Bechams sons into his Continental gt, but somebody beat me to it! frown

T Reg S1 on M5, South of Bristol yesterday with roof off looking cool. I was the person that overtook you in a Meriva and scared the life out of you when i beeped my horn.

Also spotted Blue S2 by Sainsburys in Pinhoe, Exeter at 0900 this morning.
