Re: Was it you?

Wow - what a day...

Black GT with what seemed to be non standard wheels going north on A19 around 10.00 this morning nr Thornaby.

Light (powder) blue 156 with the pram handle going south on the A19 (sorry if I cut in a bit sharpish - spilt my coffee!)

Fine example of a silver 166 going south on the A1M, nr leeds turn off around 10.30/10.45.

Black GT going north on A1M near A168 turn off to Teeside (slow down you mainiac - you'll lose your license!!)

Still looking out for you Bri
She lives over the other side of Norton road to me, she doesn't wave back though so I gave up

I have an invisibility cloak on my car I think, that'll be why people keep pulling out in front of me

No, not for a couple of weeks or so mate. I've been having an extra 15 mins or so in bed though so that's probably why, I always used to see it on the morning

Re: Was it you?

sorry - the kids insist (even when they aren't there) - the ratio is appropriate. Fords can't do it, Saab's can't do it, even Peugeot 407's can't do it.................

the kids (especsh the 7 yr old) get Alfa's!

Do you mean the one at Grange Performance? That's on Portrack Lane but Wentane isn't.

Lyles have a much nicer one, in Lipari Grey like mine, for only a bit more money.

There's quite a few big-nosed 1.9 JTDs around at that price.
