Spotted a BRG on the A4 at about 7:30 this evening I think, I was in the BRG going the other way, but I didn't notice until too late to pop the lights at you >_<

Blue SE just outside Halland in East Sussex this morning, I was in the highly consipcuous car waving like an idiot - for some reason you backed off - probably thought I was a nutter!

Briefly drove in convoy with E1AN U - mustard yellow SE on arrival at Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday morning.
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I had the chance to have a good look at the Evora, which is fantastic.

Saw E1AN U at the Club Lotus Sussex Area track day at Goodwood a couple of months ago - IIRC it was recently bought by husband/partner of the CL Sussex Area Leader. Think they bought it at the Donington show earlier this year.

Not to be too picky - but it is Racing Yellow, not Norfolk Mustard
(or at least, it was when i looked at it at Donny)

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it

Heading home yesterday in the pouring rain around 16:00 and as I was joining the M1 at Junction 27 spotted a H Reg Blue Elan through a gap in the traffic in the outside lane. Unfortunately I was in the Rover and boxed in by lorries so couldn't catch up to see who it was although I hope they either had good seals or were wearing scuba gear.

Nice to see people out and about

Medina S2, westbound on the M3 at junction 1 on Sunday afternoon, going very, very fast indeed. I had no chance of catching him at my stately 70mph, particularly as I'd just seen someone being pulled over and ticketed by an unmarked car!

Spotted this one back in March and saw it again yesterday (Sunday) heading west on A25 from Dorking towards Abinger about 3pm.
