You didn't spot me though... Image

Don't venture into Bristol much though TBH, although I was parked on Blackboy Hill on Tuesday night - curry night in Kohi Noor.

The first time I have ever seen another 35is in the flesh. Great way to spend a Sunday morning too.

P.S. There were people standing inbetween when I was parking.

Yep - first ever, caught at 37 in a 30. Missed the change in speed limit and camera van hidden behind some trees - it was a dual lane leading into 3 lanes each side, not even a built up area either. Double checked it all on my dashcam as well, so took the hit for a 4 hour Saturday naughty step session. :oops:

Spotted this little beauty while getting lost in Manly today. Not sure I would trust the epb with the incline, but one hell of a backdrop
Edit - sorry for the positioning, on the phone. Should be upside down!
