The "Ive seen people leaving" thread

[Famous Graham]

3 cars I've seen this week now that have to be off to LM

All are in Pangbourne :

1) A-Team-esque van, dark blue with five tons of chrome on it, multiple lights and so forth but with a "I'm taking the piss" feel.
2) Original Mini Cooper, BRG, stickers all over the sides relating to races, numbers etc
3) Triumph T6, turquoise, similar racing stickerage.

I hate you all. Honest.

Nah, not really, have fun you gits

[randlemarcus]

Really.

We mean it..

Bad timing vis a vis a driving hol I just got back from, work project and also cash.

I'll be back next year

(work having thrown a curve ball and NOT needed me after all...bah..hell, if someone could guarantee a ticket I'd drive down from Scotland tomorrow night and get the Thursdy morning ferry over)

Booked my ferry on Monday so they still have places. Good price too.

Too many to list, I came to work this morning up the M20 towards London so I passed literally dozens of exotica and not so exotica but still keen heading for Dover, notables were a Atom 2 up with Crash helmets, half a dozen Caterfield 7 types, and a convoy of a DB9, a brace of 911's, a 355 an SLK and Continental GT. I did feel a lttle jealous but consolled myself safe in knowledge that tomorrow morning I'll be heading in the same direction as they were

M3 yesterday and this morning was a lust fest of cars going to Pompey...I was slightly disappointed to 1) be driving to Basingstoke, 2) not being in the Tiv and c) not leaving for LM until Friday!

I think that the Basingstoke issue would be enough to open your wrists for in it's own right!

Passed a stickered red old 'bentley' style racer on the north side of the M25 at about 7.30 this morning - presuming it was heading froggy side. I was heading the other way (already stickered up) to get the brakes replaced before leaving on friday.

If it wasn't for the thought of leaving on Friday for La Sarthe and, what sounds like a soggy Le Mans!

I saw an older Corvette fully stickered up on its way down the A1 yesterday evening. I was travelling to Offord's to pick the TVR up so I was in a courtesy car. Sounded good!

2 x GT40-types on M25 this morning near Clackett Lane services going anticlockwise. Must have been on the way !
