Also spotted a White classic doing a lap of the roundabout a the Ather-Leigh Way pub... ...as shown in AndyThompson's photos - very nice mate. Like a photographic tour of Astley & Leigh... ...name the local beauty spots.

& finally a a wave from a Black Classic (think it was black, memory isn't my forte) near Daisy Hill train station about 9pm.

Oh, and come on, own up, which one of you tried to set fire to their gas canister in Tyldesley (South Lane) last night???
lol. I was thinking of waving... but as you said, you can't see through the back window.

You're cars looking immaculate as always. Love the sound of the burble too.

Agree with above. Chrisstone and AndiThompsons cars are always immaculate. Must have far too much time on their hands. They've nevered offered help to clean mine though. They should look after old folk like me.

The car wash in tyldesley do a fantasic job for £5 its not worth the time and hassle,it gets on my nerves when you clean your car then you put your foot down on the moterway and your car gets covered in dead flys.

It is Castle Street. I know what you mean about auto pilot though. Very nice scoob spotted yesterday twice around Tyldesley. Y *** *FC. First on Focus carpark then later on Elliot Street.
Hands free kits are available for phones these days. You seem to have invested a fortune in the car but not on the safety side of things.

I'd say that 1 in 10 around here use their phones whilst driving. Is the fine enough or would a careless driving offence with several points plus a hefty fine thrown in be a better deterrent.

Id say that was a better deterrent people are careless when there on there phone, would get half the d**k-head drivers off the roads, it gets on my nerves that the police dont seem to bother with these sort of people but they see a young person driving a scoob and next thing you know uv bin pulled ive had four producers since getting the car last september

I think jay is our resident alcoholic scoob driver. Mention of cold beer he's up for anything. Washing cars is a bit extreme though jay, worse than watching tennis.
Dry-lining the cellars today. Few crates of very cold beer up for grabs if anyone interested.

sat behind a silver n plate wrx coming through culcheth (spelling) yesterday afternoon, also 2 black bug/blob at the roundabout nr sainsburys and halfords yesterday morning both with gold wheels and a few car lengths behind each other. Finally another black bug/blob nr my house who waited for me to go through the traffic control system thing (he gave way) Waved and got a wave back, but he probably thought it was cos I was grateful that he waited and let me through.

Had a bit of a play with an EVO 9 FQ320 in Bolton last night.

I was in front of him up untill around 80mph.... which then he was going to overtake a few times, but still.

Damn fast cars those things are. Apparently 0-62 in 4.2 seconds according the the Mitsubishi website.

About 15 minutes later, I then had an EVO 6 behind me... but he was driving like a complete tit, so I just let him past.

Jaytc, was it you coming out of Tesco's last night when I was going in? I know it was a black classic... but there's a few of them around isn't there?

Yeah that was me Elliot, when I saw your car coming towards me near the roundabout I thought it may have been you but I didnt wave as you didnt wave so I didn't want to look like a dick if it wasnt you!
