He's good fella, still panel beating away. Knee's have been giving him jip lately but they can't afford to lose him as a beater. I think I seen you a few weeks ago, driving up Rumney hill, I was in the Mrs's Alfa GT at the time. Am I correct in thinking you are not driving the red coop now? If so, when did you switch, cos it was a red coop with black wheels that I saw.

LOL, feels good mate, nice to know that others appreciate our cars as much as we do, they are both stunning smile

New CTR hey, they are still quite rare at the moment, as are the GT's. They will never be as rare as our coop's tho wink

I'll keep an eye out for it.

followed a dark blue 'V' reg through waterton industrial estate in bridgend up to the M4. It was covered in seagull cr*p smile
Then spotted a silver heading westbound at J33, then a black 20V parked on pantbach road in cardiff.

It helps that I was a passenger today.

This is more a mid-Wales spot - my girlfriend (she's well trained!) spotted a Scotts Green R plate (didn't get the model - she's still new to this game!) parked in Aberaeron (near Aberystwyth) - maybe near a hotel (she was staying there last night)?

Anyone on here?

I'd love to but i'm going to Oz tonight for 3 months and then dubai for a month laugh

Saw a green 20v n/a or 16vt a few days back. Followed you from culver house cross down the link road and then east along the M4. Lost you on the slip road but think you carried on past J32??

Also, spotted the a silver (P131 ***) in North cardiff over the last few days. Once in Radyr at night time, and once heading towards danescourt from radyr during the day. Saw too late to flash at night and you were too far away during the day.

Will hopefully have a meet to get the coop nicely run back in when i get home wink
