A blue Clio V6 lives on the Locking Road, could have been him.

Not seen any CGTs, Enzos, Veyrons etc as yet...

First time I've seen one on the road, looked awesome biggrin

If youre talking about the PCGT, then yup, thatll be the one! (though I did see one a few weeks back around swindon - same colour but with a weird blue stripey roof??!!)

There are actually quite a few supercars around the weston area! More inland than weston itself I think though!

Bike night?

e.g: is it a weekly event?

Hiya

F1 Leisure in Thornbury is the closest hire place

Whilst in general Portishead is more affluent, I'm sure Kerry Michael would show them the way home

All these weve seen could be part of his fabled collection, supposed to have an Enzo and F40 but never seen them

Doesn't the guy who owns Dragon Kiss/half of WSM have a Murcielago and a couple of others?

Whiteladies Road in Bristol is poser central on a Saturday night, there was a Murci doing laps last weekend, with a few chavs in a Toyota Glanza following it around.

Really?

Havent been out in WSM much lately to get the gossip, last thing I knew one of the guys (2 brohters own DK) had a 911 turbo, but that was some time ago

Not seen a Murci about I must admit (either in WSM or Clifton for that matter!)

cool

There's certainly a few around, see a white F430 spyder around quite a bit.

Vas, who owns 'Seven' bar and restaurant on the seafront (amongst other things) has a red gallardo and a few other toys.

Chap I know has/had a red 360 and a mate of his has/had a pale blue murci.

Also seen a purple diablo around a few times.

Cam or Kiem Mu has a 911 Turbo, plenty of other porsches around including a White 997 GT3 RS lick

Know of a few others who have 355s.

Not seen the PCGT but will certainly keep an eye out as that'd be one to see in the flesh!

Re the bike night, its on various thursdays during the summer and seems to be getting a good turnout, see http://www.rblr.co.uk/westonbikenight.html for further details.

smile

ETA: On the flip side there is also a lot of very badly modified cars around and a large number of coffin dodgers dawdling around in their micras!

Onz - aha!

Used to be a guy around WSM (saw him several times in Sainsburys car park) with a 360 which he then replaced with a CS - really nice guy, very chatty - havent seen him in several years



Saw the PCGT again tonight, headng North on the M5 (right by Gordano services) about 5'ish
