Not seen any for a few days then two Titaniums in the space of as many minutes. Gave a wave, but both drivers transfixed on the road ahead!

Hello anyway if you were driving into Winchester along Romsey Road around 12 today, and also from Badger Farm towards Romsey Road :)

There's also a Titanium Grey and a Velocity Red one at work (Nationwide Head Office)

If my membership pack hadn't been trashed in the post last month I'd be putting cards on them as well.... (Very sad point :cry: )
you can leave my red one alone then geezer! We're more common than Mercs at work!

Some from yesterday on a southbound trip down the M1 and some other parts of the countryside..

A Red heading northbound near Trowell Services, at about 10:30 (to quick to determine if it was Moatz.. )
A Blonde in a nice Black near Leciester Forest East with a private plate. So who's the BOS?
And at about 4:00pm, another Black OV04 *** on the A4010 heading into Stoke Mandeville.

And a big HI! to the Renault Scenic who insisted on travelling just a fraction of an inuch behind our bumper for a while.. including after we pulled in and slowed down, hope you liked the car! :(

Right, I saw 3 today on my trip to Oxford.

A Black 230 with Leather, Private Plate 22** in the peartree park and ride car park. I saw the owner of this just leaving the car park, and I couldn't make out a club sticker.

A Tit Grey 230 OE53B** along Woodstock Road in Oxford

And a Red AJ04*** heading towards Wolvercote/Oxford around 5.20pm

Getting a tad common now, too much for me!

Couldn't have been me as the only longish journeys I've been on recently have been to Sutton and to Pulborough. Should have chance to open her out on Saturday though with a journey to Fleet and back.

Saw Red one in town on Christmas Eve - both slowed down and acknowledged as we drew level. And wifey has spotted the immaculate high power winning blue (parked in her drive) owned by a nice lady called Gail who as far as I know isn't an active member of our Forum.

Sightings north of the border!

Post by Per »

I keep seeing others in and around Glasgow, there's four I see almost every day:
  • ???? ??? Titanium Grey right across the road from my house (Not sure if it was just visiting for the holidays, so I've not been over to say hello yet :roll: )
  • ???? BLK Black in the industrial estate round the corner from my house
  • ?? WAR Titanium Grey in Yoker
  • ?? ERT Sunlight Silver(?) usually parked in the City Centre
On Tuesday, I also spotted a Winning(?) Blue heading east on the A82 through Milton, and another Velocity Red heading south on the A811 through Gartocharn.

Hey druck ... saw the same blue in Beechwood multistorey this afternoon. My VR was 2 floors up .... three RX's in one place in Chelt ... some kind of record I reckon. There's usually a black outside Comet at the retail park ... I thinks it's someone that works there. Don't think our paths have crossed yet ... must keep an eye out for you.
