Thanks buddy. I try and keep her looking nice. As we have had the hot weather and the colour she is I try and wash and wax her once a month. Oxshott isn't far no. Nice to know there are other locals driving these beautiful machines

This was on Derby Road in Chesterfield this afternoon, it turned off onto Storforth Lane. Anybody on here? It looked very tidy and all original (as they should be :diablo: )

And no, I wasn't driving when I took the pic.

Why should they be kept original? (can opened, worms everywhere!)

I agree with Dr Dub that they should be kept original. I reckon that if you modify it, it makes the car look worse. I have seen so many classic and newish cars look a right mess from where people have done them up. :-( . I got my car and have had the original wheels and a cassette player put back in to make it original. The furthest people should go is a CD player from a Cassette. :-) ;-)

A Mk2 queuing to join the A509 in Kettering this afternoon around 5.30, I was so surprised to see another one at all, I'm not entirely sure what age/colour it was, I think it was gold... Exchanged waves with the gent driving anyhow.

Aha finally been spotted! Twas me, G-Dub in my daily driving 1983 Champagne Mk 2 popping in for a refuel. Of course it would be rude of me not to spot your gleaming Red J reg Mk 2 heading just of the same roundabout; with the same cheery wave!

I have also spotted a blue Mk2 that occasionally uses the Kettering Tesco car park off the same roundabout, but not for a few weeks now, anyone on the register?
