Well there's a white NC there.

Nope, her hair is not as fluffy or bottle-bleached as his.
Oh, and she appeared to be a competent driver as well.

Resprayed metallic blue NA (a darker metallic than Danny's) on the Gateway southbound at about 4:15 - two blokes in Broncos jerseys enjoying the scenery. Nice looking ride too!

Also green NB, woman driver heading north on the Hornibrook Bridge about 5 mins earlier.

Have seen a red NA on the Gold Coast twice recently, it has a black patch on the high forward quarter of both doors, last seen parked opposite and up the road a bit from the Bullet workshop.

Also saw earlier this week, a silver bullet v8, oh boy almost creamed myself when it pulled up beside me(wasn't in my roadster at the time :( ) it was crossing Brisbane road headed into Harbour town

I had taken a photo with of 'MX5-SE' parked next to 'MX5-SP' (aka Snow White) on a run a few years back. Try as I might I can't find the pic, so if the owner of the SE, or anyone else for that matter has a photo... could they let me know?

I saw a nice red turbo NA with a proper roll bar in Oxley at around 6.00pm, top down. I was in my black 99. Followed me for a bit - looked like he was having fun. :lol:

Sounds like Uncle Arthur's car. He lives on that side of town too. Not sure if his has a rollbar though.

Just had a look at his car domain profile - it might have been. Didn't see the rear though, or the plates. I'll definitely keep an eye out now anyway :)
