I'm pretty sure I saw Uncle Arthur on Beaudesert Road around noon today. Great day for a drive!

Yep - that was me - then again it is a distinctive little red beast :D and I did think it looked like you waving back.

It was actually a bloody hot day for a drive - particularly in the slow stop start go repeat traffic that was the M1 southbound to Jules and Mummy's place :)

Good Evening Ladies & Gentlemen,

The Stig must regale his lunchtime encounter. Whilst out ambulating the corgis, an old ankle injury, caused by that blasted Clarkson once kicking me, started acting up. I thought this a touch strange on such a warmish day. One cannot imagine how delighted The Stig was when some fine chaps appeared over the rise in a flurry of SPotted, SPotted, LFMAO (or something similar, it was a bit of a black blur) followed by a SPotted, SPotted and another SPotted. They seemed like a bunch of jolly chaps and chappettes, I gave them a wave and a mouthed a toodle-pip from beneath the white helmet. A minute or so later my ankle stopped hurting, however the corgis have been coughing up some awful black mucus since, I haven't a clue what they must of eaten or breathed in, Stiggy shall have to ask the veterinary tomorrow.

A doff of the helmet and a toodle pip Gents.
The Stig
The fools have the RPC again, so I'm at Waitrose in the Veyron.

Saw a Laguna Blue with a Mazdaspeed rollbar and BBS wheels in Grand Central carpark Towoomba a couple of nights ago... I never did saw a Laguna Blue before!

Followed a tidy black NB up Hale Street this morning (Sunday). Top down, low, twin roll bars, nice exhaust note. He gave a big wave to a red NA coming down the hill but I dont think they saw. I was stealthing in the Magna.

Saw a white NA, top up with a white steering wheel along the M1 about 8 this morning.

Followed a black NC hardtop on the way home for a bit just before 6 before the gateway merge.

Theres a few of us living around that area, theres another NC soft top in GG with what looks like Simmons rims, a red NA, a red NB SE, theres an aluminium RHT auto that often haunts the real estate office off the Boul. (same place as the IGA)
Seems to be a concentrated area for MX-5's.

I'm in Centennial Park. I think I have seen a green NB a few times now, sounds great. There is a woman in a red NC around the corner who always gives a wave. There is a red NA and two white NA's one with a hard top I see a lot. I often see an air force guy in a silver NB and a nice grey NC going up Grand Ave.
Almost forgot the red SE parked at the shops all the time.
