Nice works GP along the A45 towards Birmingham about 30 minutes ago. Appeared in my rear view mirror along a country lane outside Hampton in Arden then we continued past the airport. At the lights I followed you until the speed camera spoilt the fun......and I was trying to keep up in my 350Z

Gave you the thumbs up as I turned off

Beautiful looking car, just been reading up about it on the net

saw gp 0670 at the weekend in wigan lancs, it was on the driveway on bricks,at first i thought the wheels had been nicked,then i noticed the owners feet sticking out underneath,after watching for a while i realised he was cleaning it with a sponge.
