Broom Yellow in Uppingham on Easter Sunday. Driving near the Church at one point, and parked near the park later on.

Not quite sure of the reg, but think it was L2 UPE or similar.

Also, what looked like a Burgundy Red with a reg of T225 or T425 or similar on the A47 between Morcott and Uppingham around 7.30 in the evening.

Anyone on here?

Not sure if this counts or not;

Red R plate (on 16v wheels - weren't they all 20v by then?) Parked opposite the Foresters Arms on Horninglow Road last night, 5pm.

(The name will be familiar to local folk, as for a number of months the 'm' fell off the side of the pub, hence it became known as the Foresters Ar*e )

Knew I'd seen it somewhere, this was the ad for it...the Scotts Green one I saw on Saturday night.

1997 Scotts Green 20VT on 69k miles (mine since 2007)
- serviced by Paul at Motormech
- resprayed at Euroeast Paintshop 2008 (£1800)
- cambelt/belts/filters/plugs etc replaced August 2008
- 6 point paddle clutch £552
- drilled/grooved discs & new pads £370
- rear LEDs £300
- greddy EBC £200
- Walbro fuel pump £75
- GTiR Turbo £624
- HID main & dipped £200
- Zender kit £312
- Bilstein/Eibachs £490
- Blueflame exhaust with sports cat £560
- Pro-Alloy FMIC £487
- Porsche cup alloys with 245 rear, 225 front £1750
- Pioneer reference hi-fi £2500

Bad bits: needs MOT which I'll sort as wont be an issue & the turbo is starting to smoke. Thats it though.
Euroeast in Burntwood, near Lichfield. The firm has been running for 25 years this year, so he's obviously doing something right.
John did my car after another bodyshop completely screwed a respray. I've also had two of my previous cars and two of the wife's cars worked on there.
he's done another half a dozen Coupes since mine - one of which won its class at the Auto Italia concours last year
Mine will be going back this year to have the arches sorted (its done 50,000 miles since the respray and the road salt has taken its toll)
Ask for John - tell him I sent you
