3R in Kingston this morning (autocars?)

[michael_JCWS]

Anyone's here. Lovely Titanium 3R KV** driving past Kingston train station at about 9am.

Stuart: This wouldn't happen to be Autocars would it ?

Cheers

Is that KV** *** or just KV** (i.e. private plate?)

[michael_JCWS]

Hmm - I think I've seen that one as well - can't remember where though...

I'd guess this was Stuart from Autocar, since his office is only a couple of miles from Kingston. The reg is KX53 AGV and it's a Titanium 3R with a sticky number plate on the bonnet.

Then he's two miles from my house - so two Titaniums that close - they may start breeding!!!

Ah - that rings a bell now. That was the one that Mr PB was taking us around in at Rockingham. Very nice put together car and it didn't miss a beat all day.

Knew I'd seen it somewhere before!

It was the one on the stand at the NEC and Stuart drove it home on Sunday evening. Understand he has it for 4 months now.

[micknall]

I think Stu meant to say that his editor was running it for the next four months, but I'll let him off on his little flight of fancy....

......or my misinterpretation of what he said..

[Stuart]

It was me! My first "spotted"!

I did make it clear that editor Sutcliffe-san would be running the car Micknall, although obviously you'll be arranging for my own car to be delivered 'cause I've been such a great friend to Noble over the years ;-)

What an awesome car. Drove it back from the NEC on a clear DRY (phew) moonlit night on Sunday absolutely as happy as a pig in s**t. Trying to drive it through the Wandsworth and then Kingston one way system in torrential rain was a challenge though...

Thoughts: just so much grip. Cranium re-arranging acceleration (and de-celeration. Always one of the more mind blowing aspects of a performance car I think).

You enjoyed it then

Be interesting to see how Chris like's it compared to his Gallardo.

Thing is, that's the bit in the Kingston one way system (or should I say Kingston Grand Prix) where I'll usually nail it and act like a bit of a hooli to get back into the correct lane. I do hope that I wasn't acting inappropriately when you saw me...

careful with banter like that, they will have revenue generation box on a pole sited there within days now to spoil the fun

Those square-yellow-headed cashiers seem to be all over the place now.

You seemed to be very well behaved, to be fair the conditions were s**t. Would have been a little embarrassing losing the car before you got it to Autocar HQ
