Apologies to the driver of a grey E85 today for not stopping, I was having too much fun on the roundabouts, on the back roads in Bromborough, Wirral!

Spotted a black M Roadster and followed the gentleman onto the A3 northbound at the Hindhead on-ramp about 5pm today. No wave, and as soon as you got through the tunnel off you shot! Car looked nice either way :thumbsup:

Then a silver Roadster about 5:50pm turning onto Cumberland avenue off saltbox Road in Guildford, this time a thumbs up! The car looked a lot cleaner than mine - damn the hosepipe ban!

Spotted, a very nice looking immaculate silver pre facelift E85 with 108s this morning, reg ending HNT. came out of the Coffinswell turning and drove towards Exeter. I was in my works van so couldn't wave. :headbang: Anyone on here as I only live up the road.

Black coupe this evening in the Bell car park, Shottery, Stratford upon Avon. I think it might have been simmiewimie’s.
I was on the way home after collecting our coupe from having it’s MOT, which I’m pleased to say it passed.

Nice looking black E86 pulled up behind an AA patrol van last night on the Bear Flat in Bath, one of three coupes all parked within a few hundred metres of each other in the last few days with another one just down the road in Widcombe too.

No flashing or waving as I was in my mate's truck on the way to Sparkford.

There’s so many of us in Bath! Funnily enough my last daily was a Mini R55 S too, wish it had been a JCW though :driving:

It is fun, but it's surprisingly thirsty (though maybe that's down to me) and the suspension makes the Zed feel like you're riding round in a feather bed by comparison. But it is fun… just not as much fun as the coupe, or as pretty. Really I should drive the not so fun one less and the more fun one more

Silver E86 registration YC07 *** yesterday morning around 11.40 on the A303 heading East.

I was a passenger in my mate's transporter going to pick up some motorbikes he bought from an auction at the Haynes Museum, so no light flashing or waving!

Out in the Coupe today and spotted two E85s on the Torquay to Shaldon coast road, enjoying the sunny afternoon. One Maldives blue and the other one silver, who gave me a wave back. :thumbsup:
