Oi :x Norfolk is norf of Watford Gap - OK not as north as when I lived near Darlington. I'm sure the south used to start around Leeds / Manchester then :fuelfire:

E89s are so common. Saw 2 this morning both on the A507, both travelling west within 5 minutes!

KE16*** black on the Henlow roundabout at 8.44.

AE65*** white in between the Stotfold and Arlesley roundabouts at 8.47

I was disguised in the NG95 2011 Saab going the other way.

Spotted a black E89 on Tritton Road, Lincoln this afternoon. Big wheels and friendly occupants. Passenger gave me a wave as I drew level at the lights in my silver E85. First time the car has been on the road for over two months and I had the top down too.
