I saw a heavily camouflaged car this morning around 8 a.m at the bottom of Bluebell Hill on German plates. It was a small 3 door car by the looks of it, 2 people inside it looking very lost!

They had done a very good job disguising it, all I could tell was the back lights reminded me of chavvy Lexus lights off of a Saxo / 106.

Did anyone else see it? it headed off to the M20 coast bound...

Didn't see this one, but Delphi Diesel in Gillingham have a few test mules, with full camo stickers on and when you type in the reg.no. on askmid it comes up as "car"

I used to drive one when I worked there, it was a LWB red transit with 1 ton weight of metal bolted down the back.

Note to say :- Diesels don't like changing down from 5th to 2nd at certain mph's, pumps and turbos etc tend to go BANG in a big way including my arse hehe

And your driving is still no better now wink

I was the guy that used to work on those proto type cars then let apes like westy break them rofl

Jesus i was busy with rebuilding them , the idea of many test drivers trying to put on as many miles as possible in the shortest time under varing conditions was all good until westy came along

Glad to be of assistance. thumbup

I remember once being asked WTF had happened on my previous days exploits. When I asked for why ? I was told that half a field had to be removed from underneath the van before they could start any work on it......I denied all knowledge. hehe
