Who`s been Spotted..........

Post by MGFLee » Wed Apr 21, 2010 2:00 pm

Just thought it would be quite fun to see who spots who.......

Last night on the A40 in Cheltenham a blue TF waved at me.......any claimers as to who this was? I was in the Wedgwood traveling in the Oxford Direction!

I was driving behind a Silver F in Guildford yesterday with the plate T4 VVC.

With a plate like that, there's half a chance the owner sails these shores! :)

If any of you see me, give me a wave, or a flash, or a hoot, or
whatever is appropriate. You can't miss me.
Vibrant Orange LE500 with the MG logo writ large on either flank -
I am firmly of the 'If you've got it - FLAUNT IT !' school.
I don't do 'subtle'.
I travel between Poole and Romsey (Kimbridge) quite frequently, and
occasionally head north to Harrogate and back again.

Nowt like a little cameraderie of the road when travelling up and down the
flooded, gridlocked and endlessly excavated highways and byways of this
lovely nation of ours.

If you could James, that would be great! Make it mid-engined, 0-60 in 3 seconds and 150 miles to the gallon! :lol:

Well in regards to the ZT have you not heard of the MG6? ;)

Slightly shorter but wider than the ZT aparently.

Looking forward to Silver... sorry, MG Live to see it.

My first true Register spot today!

Saw a silver F in Billericay, Essex at about 4 o'clock driving on Mountnessing Road towards Radford way. I was going to wave but i spent too much time admiring the Register grill plate! :thumbsu:

Either that or their designer shades were blinded by your gleaming
motor and they went into hyperdark mode.

Maybe we need some sort of MGCC/F Register recognition device
that can be attached to the bonnet. It would ring bells and whistles when
it senses a comrade, and a little waving hand would be raised just to
make the moment extra-special.

What do you think James ? :geek:
