Silver Esprit V8 in Leamington Spa last night

[Marc_100]

Looked in my mirror last night in Leamington as I was driving past the Damon Hill BMW garage and see the awesome sight of a silver Esprit up my arse. I floor my 200sx and I guess catch the guy a bit by surprise before he rockets right up to me again before we hit the roundabout and shoots off towards the town centre. Wow!! I just love the Esprit!!

Just wondered if the guy driving is on Pistonheads. Any chance of a ride sometime??

That's a good example of what I like about this site.

[Marc_100]

Rob, that's jolly kind of you and I'd love to take you up on the offer, but you haven't got your e-mail option activated on your profile. Any chance of dropping me a line? I do live in Leam by the way, down Radford Road....

Rob, do you live on **** Hill? I'm a few hundred yards away from you with a Blue Tamora. Agree with Marc the Esprit looks excellent!
Marc, I had 2 200SXs before getting a Chimaera. Just go for it!
Cheers..... Andrew

Andrew, while we've all got a nice spirit of comaraderie here, any chance of a ride in yout Tamora too? I might even give you a spin in my 200sx if you're lucky - just for old times sake.... ;-) By the way, it's my second 200sx too....

[ellingtj]

I'm in Leam too - lacking in seriously fast metal though. I can see Marc 100 from where I am sitting doing nothing as usual
Tim.

[gb61390]

Marc, no worries. Send me an email with your phone number and I'll call you.
Cheers..... Andrew

[rob.ellis]

Hey Andrew. Yes, that's me. Small world.

I'd like a spin in the tamora too if poss - why don't we organise a mini-meet? Say one evening next week if the weather is good?

Tamora, Esprit, 200sx.. any one else?
Rob

[gb61390]

Rob, sounds good, although I'm only around Monday next week.
Shall we say 7pm (let the traffic die down) at The Moorings car park?
You up for it Marc?
Cheers.... Andrew

[rob.ellis]

yep. i can do that. c u there.

Rob

[Marc_100]

Yup, definitely can make this - very kind of you guys! I'm sure Tim will want to come along too (ellingtj).

I guess I'll be taking the Esprit out while you're in the Tamora eh Rob....?

[rob.ellis]

weather looks crap guys...! do you want to postpone? would be nicer to do it on a sunny evening, rather than dodging the showers?

[gb61390]

Rob, I was thinking the same thing until it just started to brighten up.
If we don't do tonight I can't make it for the next 2 weeks so shall we say if it stays dry we'll carry on and if it rains again we'll cancel?
Check back here around 16:00?
Cheers... Andrew
PS. I think we're all going to Supercar Sunday anyway?

[Marc_100]

Yup - me and Tim think it might be more fun on a sunny evening too. I guess it could clear up later though but the forecast doesn't look great.

Did you get out at the week-end anywhere?

[ellingtj]

Yep planning to be at supercar Sunday - the weather forecast looks reasonable for that at the moment, however not totally confident in these long 'range' predictions. - source :weather.co.uk. As for tonight I agree with Andrew - check back at 16:00.
Tim.

[gb61390]

OK, let's knock it on the head for tonight. Even if it doesn't rain again it seems that everyone would prefer a sunny evening?
See you all at Supercar Sunday and we'll rearrange?
Cheers..... Andrew

yup! trip up to birminham ferrari dealership with my mate Rob on sat to pick up his 360 modena (been in for service) then up to Loughborough with him to test drive a 550 Maranello. You couldn't make this stuff up. Good weekend..? you betcha!


Its sunny now....

[ellingtj]

Notice how it's brightened up outside since we decided to cancel - sods' law!!
