Spotted your beautiful blue Tuscan in Slough on Sunday as I did a runner from Trade-Sales (trying to buy a runaround and failing).

I was in the Red Porsche behind you.

I just want you to know I let you get away on the slip road. (Hardly...you don't have 100bhp extra for nothing... )


Anyway, apart from a saying "Hi!" we noticed that once you were travelling at speed your reversing light seemed to come on.... perhaps the sensor in the gearbox is glitching on fifth?

If you read this you might want to have a quick check and see if that's what's really happening...

All the best, mate. LOVELY car...

Fame at last!..Immaculate Porsche mate. Like me,I noticed that you were 'puddle dodging' along the A4.

Slowed down from 70 to 60 on M4 to give you a wave but you sped past.....

You are 'spot on'with the fifth gear glitch...thx.

Next time you are in Slough..bring the Chimaera....

We regularly use both cars. Porsche hadn't been out for a while so I wanted to give it a run..

Cheers!

I'll be sure to let her know...

So, Dusty, we'll be seeing you at some Basingstoke PHers meets this coming year, then...

Maybe, I live in Fareham though and work in Basingstoke (But I am lookin gto move nearer to B'stoke).

You should have come along to the recent meet at the Meon Hut/ Seven Stars. Was a good turn out. Had to leave to go to work halfway through

I met you at Pie on the BeachII last year too. We were talking about trackdays in the rain.
