Don't know what the official colour is, but spotted a petrol blue M100 southbound on Thamesdown Drive in Swindon at approx 3:50pm this afternoon. Didn't spot him till I was pulling away from the lights so he probably missed my wave. We both (shame on us) had our hoods up :roll:

Wasn't me Dan.

Although I did follow a mature gent driver and lady passenger in a Red G reg all the way from Swindon Junction 16 to Newport on the M4 on saturday morning (about 9:30 - 11:30am).

I was again not in the Elan as the wheels were having their alignment done. Doubt they noticed the silver Honda Civic alongside them at the Wales Immigration Tax Point :roll:

Blue elan going down the Langtons towards Market Harb. Around 7:30, I was heading to Ashby Folville car meet.

I was in the dark blue Chimaera, waved and got a wave back! :D

OK, own up.
Who was sitting in a Calypso Red Elan with a private plate, just of the A14 at Risby, today . The driver was hiding behind a map at the time one of my co-workers went passed and assumed it was me skiving off of work.
They couldn't believe that there are two "hair-dresser cars" in Bury St Edmunds.
