Lysander Road in Yeovil at about 1230 today. A beautiful black E86 passed me and then I saw an E85 at the lights coming the other way. I gave a wave but the chap was too busy using the loud pedal! :D

Probably a longshot cause there doesn't seem to be many Germans on here but...

Saw a black E85 crashed in to the back of a Smart Car on Reinsburgstr. in Stuttgart yesterday and a black Alpina this morning on Schwabstr.

Saw a few at Le Mans but only noted down a couple. 09 plate black coupe in Maison Blanche and **04 SPW, roadster (somewhere). Couple of lovely breadvans too - blue one parked up in Super U and a black one in Maison B who acknowledged my gushing, double thumbs up as he went past. :D

Anyone from the forum? Maybe I should have followed into service area... would be great to meet more of the contingent base on this island.

cracking weekend for roadster owners!

And a great one for cooking Coupe owners :thumbsup: Are you missing the rain over there yet Attilio ?

Hi,
I am only missing it when I feel like doing a bit of hooning! (not that I ever do it :roll: ) the aircon works brilliantly so the roof is not a problem... well sometime it is. I thought the E85s were the real "roa(d)sters" :wink:

when are you coming over? Any ETA?

Passed a fellow E85 who was heading West on the A369 around 07:30 this morning as I headed into Bristol. The cheery wave over your windscreen got my day off to a good start! :D 8)

Personally, I like it.
But then, half the cars I've ever owned have been white (before it was fashionable!)
Edit: and it had Dream Red seats as well. Nice.

Spotted a silver e85, roof down, just turned off vauxhall Street on the way to Exeter Street today around 4:30. I was going the other way, gave a cheeky wave which was returned :thumbsup:
