Roger Spotted?

FieldingMellish · 04-27-2011, 12:05 PM

RogerXP, were you stuck behind a Morrisons lorry on the A34 this afternoon, around 5pm?

That car of yours looks a lot better in real life than in photos. And man does it shift. Moves pretty elegantly too.

rogerxp · 04-27-2011, 02:04 PM

How funny

. Yes, that was me, couldn't work out what that wagon was doing until I undertook it and realised it was behind that tractor!!!

I did see a silver E90 behind me and thought you were keeping pace pretty well but couldn't work out whether you were having a play or just tootling home at your own, rapid, pace

.

I'm still in that booting it at every opportunity phase (much like you I'm sure) and when the by-pass is that empty it's just begging to be used properly

.

I'm annoyed now as when you were alongside me I purposely didn't look over for some reason but could have said hi - did you shout me as I thought I heard something

. Did notice the 330i badge as you went past (I wondered for a moment whether it was TMP but he's got a 'd').

Your motor looks good too

. Will have to watch out again though.

Note - I don't always drive like that!!!

FieldingMellish · 04-27-2011, 02:15 PM

Heh. You were really shifting. Looks like your car handles pretty well, to say the least. Fine looking motor.

I did indeed say something. Wound down my window and said hello but as you say you didn't turn round before the lights changed.

I wasn't trying to catch you (honest!), but I did follow you around the inside of that lorry/tractor obstruction. Your car just seemed to fly along in front. I doubt I'd have had much chance of keeping up.

I was just returning from another blissful run up through Holmes Chapel to Kidsgrove and back. Cracking day for it. See you around again.

Nah, wrong part of the county for those ladies.

I never saw that car, or those babes, again....

rogerxp · 04-27-2011, 04:32 PM

Well, if you're ever passing with a spare few minutes, PM me and I'll make you a coffee. You basically pass my office on your journey (my office is a couple of hundred yards away from the bottom of the bypass).

I was actually trying to catch-up a Boxster a few cars in front for a little play but lost him.

Definately give me a flash/hoot if you see me again - I can't really flash/hoot every silver E90 I see, I'd wear out my lights/horn

Boxsters may be Roger, but don't you be getting ideas above your station when it comes to 911s
