Spotted a B-plate with a bodykit, looked like it was Cosmos Blue so I presume it's a Storm (no markings on the back), at the back of some workshops near Bristol Temple Meads.


Also saw a Cirrus Green GL, also on a B-plate, mostly viewed from the inside between Bristol and Birmingham, although did see the outside when I had a quick comfort break at Strensham services:

Silver / Grey B reg on honeycomb BBS at some services today on the M40, they left their lights on so I stuck around but no one came back to the car. Went into the services, looked out the window and it had gone. Nice looking car, anyone on here?

It was me! First trip to the new tesco's too.
Typical the first time i get spotted its on those horrible wheels, but after the other week snow tires are a requirement!

What are the chances? In a town of approx 20,000 people (Biggleswade), I've just seen two more MkIIs.

One G *** ALW (dark blue) I've seen before, but another one J *** PCS (black) I'd never seen.

Anyone on here? I might have to make contact directly, and set up a Central Bedfordshire branch of the owners club... :vcool:

A dark blue Mk III. We kept on overtaking each other on the A27 between Arundel and Chichester this afternoon. Driver and his kids gave me a wave back when I waved as we parted company at Chichester.

This more than made up for the antics of the tit in the Golf who tried to cut me up in Worthing.

Spotted in the "rural West of Scotland" in Tesco Extra car park Port Glasgow a beautiful Red J reg GT11.
Spoke to the very pleasant lady owner for a few moments who told me her husband found it for her after the demise of her E reg car.
Ahhhhh True Love.
Lady in red (car) if you ever feel like parting with it PLEASE let me know.


A heart broken GLI - R.I.P. A loveable GT. A practical Polo now deceased.
