Travelling back from Gatwick today I spotted a car transporter on the M25 with a coupe on, but not just one there were 4 They were all pluses or VT6s from the wheels and were covered in a thin plastic covering that they attach to new cars in transit. Noticed one red, two that were grey, although they could have been white and one blue but again it was hard to see if it was metallic or sprint. Could not see what reg plates as they were jammed too close together Would have followed it for the fact that I was on the opposite carriageway, was tempted to do a Bo and Luke traverse of the central reservation but it is a concrete wall now Anyone else spot them?

Possibly enw ones from malaysia?? I had heard a rumour that these were going to be over in April and not as early as now. But then I also thought they were bringing over 20 and not just 4. HHhhmm maybe some early ones prior to April

This is weird! Didn't see them myself, but spookily enough exactly what Bockers said cropped up in conversation yesterday (with a non-coop owner, who knows my passion for them and was talking about getting one himself). Thought it had to be a wind up.
Trying not to get too excited now, in case it's all a bit premature. As Jim says, maybe we'll hear something about them properly in a couple of months.

1996 Blue Metallic 16v NASP on the M4 today, westbound at about 17:15, Port Talbot.
Travelled in 2 car coupe convoy for quite a while. I sped off at one point, then got caught in traffic and he caught up. We waved and flashed as he headed towards Swansea at J42 and I carried on.
You on here????

Wow I think I've been spotted! That was me I think on the way to meet cheesy at Motormech.
I assume I was on the southbound carriageway? Whereabouts were you? Didnt see you if you were in a coupe! Had mine in MotorMech today for belts and service. Didn't hang around though - Mrs MABR spotted the Bullring. Sorry I missed you.

I was shocked to say the least, but was travelling with wife, so was reluctant to keep up.

Johnny - Yep that was definatly me.
Ben What colour was the LE/Plus Benje?

Ink Black R--- BBW heading north on M11 near Stansted just gone eight on Thursday morning.
Then a Sprint Blue heading anti-clockwise near J28 of the M25, I saw you as I gunned it out of the tailback caused by something careering off the road, chuckling at the RX8 which wouldn't start in the outside lane :).
