Re: Was it you?

I spotted an Amazon Green 156 full of oranges near The Springfield in Darlo at about midday today.

I showed her Big Al's original comment on here after the Tan Hill run out...

She begged me not to wear it for the Whitby run out but I sneaked out with it on under my coat.

where had I been? oh aye - this morning/lunchtime I went to Durham never seen to many rozzer's in my life on the way up

only two full-on horn honking experiences today too!

nice to see O and his Verdiamazoni (my translation) - i did wave

later on popped through to Stockton/Norton and decided to take the road up to Sedge/Durham to, in a macabre way, see what had blocked the road at Rushyford

There was what looked like a destroyed Cit ZX a whole road section/roundabout away - nasty !

Is your GTV red? If so, I think I have seen it a few times in Darlington.
