A silver Munaro at the Metro centre.

We exchanged smiles and waves but didn't get chance to speak.

The person in the passenger seat nearly fell out the car at how stunning our car was he he he

I saw two yellow ones last week, one on the M11 and one on the M25 (possibly the same one but different days) - common as muck eh ?

There was a black Monaro in Hull on Thursday - I know because I was driving it! Didn't stay long though.

Passed a silver one coming the other way in Norwich the other day. Nearly flashed him, then remembered I was driving the wife's car!

Dan
It could well have been you.

I was northbound at the A66 Darlington turningn, erm about 6.30 ish?

I think I may have been hidden behind a bus or HGV, I just saw a blue flash south and looked in my mirror to confirm.

Was it you?

Sounds like I had a near miss on Sunday, too. I was northbound on the A1 passing Sedgefield at about 6pm.

Near Newcastle. On Sunday evening, I was crawling home at 60mph, replicating Clarkson's recent (London-Edinburgh return) experiment with the Audi V8 to see if I could get the Monaro from Newcastle to South Durham and back on a single tank. Yet no sign of a gold streak flashing past - how slow do I need to go?
