How many m’s in cornwall

Post by mad4slalom » Wed Jun 13, 2018 10:24 am

Hi , just wondering how many m roadster and coupes there might be in cornwall, would forum mods have an idea ?
Just struck me monday when i saw two red ferraris in truro in less than a 1/4 mile apart in two minutes. Cant remember the last m coupe or roadster i saw. About 700 of each in the country Adds up to maybe a dozen per county ? Got to be a good thing for prices as definately in short supply. Cant think of many cars i see less of . Any thoughts 👍

I have Z4mc in the Truro area, speaking to local specilists at various points they see a few 3.0 coupes and a couple of M roadsters but thats it. Seems to be somewhat of an M blackspot down here, i think in all my years of living down here i have seen 1 M roadster parked in Greenbank hotel car park, so even then likely sombody on holiday.

There are two ///M's in Saltash, if that counts as Cornwall. :wink:

Mine plus a Silver Grey a Coupe owned by a guy I used to work with.

In all the PH runs I have done ever, There has never been another one along? Macas, Fessas, Lots of Lambos, Trevers, Vipers and too many Skylines to count. But never another. ///MR.

I also seem to see a Red 360 parked up whenever I visit Truro center.

Your alright, mines interlagos and based the other side of Truro in the Feock area... Surprised I've never seen the M roadster in carnon downs, it's just down the road!

There may be some serious taxes to pay on that. Permanent move? Good luck any how. :thumbsup:

The whole process is costing about the same as a supercharger!
Yep, my wife's an Aussie. I’ve been back out here since December 2015 except the period in Devon.
Cheers :thumbsup:

i've seen a black one down there between bodmin+launceston a few times. Hoping the weather stays dry to bring my car down :D

any decent roads you can recommend? I find most of the roads ive done are tight windy b-roads that'd suit an A45/GolfR more than my aston/m135i.
