Spotted a grey S1 last week when I was in the gf's car in Kingstanding, Birmingham.

Then spotted it when I was in mine and gave each other the thumbs up.

Then spotted it the next day at the side of a raod, with its front wheel and hub obliterated, hanging off, and the front of the car on the deck...

Hope you weren't injured dude, bad luck.

Saw a Black S1 at Reading station yesterday, looked pretty tidy. Think it was a 2006/2007 but didn't get the plate.

I thought my frozen shoulders (now recovered no sobb story included) had weakened so much it was becoming harder to steer.

Nope... Cleaned the steering UJ lubed it with lithium grease. Tadaaa! Not heavy anymore.

We've gotta remember to check this more often. I did it a year ago and already it was dry.

Well bugger me. Wrong post for the thread. But. There's a lovely blue RX8 living around the corner from me looks like they must've moved in a few months back. I'm dying to go around but shy as f**k

I've spotted a nice clean strato blue cruising in and around Castle Cary a couple of times in recent weeks. Exchanged a friendly wave, figure it's probably a member...?

That PZ had 96,860 miles on the clock back in May last year so could well be over the 100k now.
Only failed MOT once and that was for a broken arb drop link in 2016.
I wonder if it's still of the original coils, cat, engine...?

Very nice 54 plate S1 VR on the East Lancs Road heading towards the M57 in Liverpool today, around 13:30. Black standard alloys and LED rear lights, sounded nice too. Missing my 8 so much, I might be on the lookout for another :shock:
