Recognise your car now. Didn't see you until the last second though, thats why the wave was late. The cars alright but needs a new bumper due too are rugby coach running into it. I think the police were just coming from a job in Atherton as 4 traffic cars passed my as I was sat there being very, very polite. No points just strong words. On the open stretch they normally wait in the entrance to the football club next to the new estate. Only open up at the bus stop when you can see the coast is clear.

you mean their bacon butties, pizza, chips and coffee were getting cold.
I feel for the poor traffic cop who stopped you. He probably got back to the station to find various different sauces and dips on his foods.

think the light blue classic is a sport, spends a bit of time around the corner from me, dont know if it lives there (the owner not the car although you would expect both to be there at the same time), also see it quite often on princess ave.

Saw the white classic at tesco yesterday the one with the young looking driver. No wave though so didnt bother waving, he did however appear to glare at me!!

I've let on to the driver before. He is about 20 although he looks about 10. He must have a cushion on the drivers seat to see through the screen.

Bang out of order. Hope you've reported the incident. It could be one of ours next time he/she hits something.

Just seen him parked up behind Tesco. Seems like quite a tasteless example. What did he hit? Parked car or what?

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, he's the one I've seen doing handbrake turns quite a lot a while ago.

Did it have quad headlamps and gold alloys?

Also, did anybody see the report on the front of the Reporter/Journal (Can't remember which now)... about the birds killed on an allotment? The poor buggers wouldn't even say boo to a goose (No pun intended).

The allotment in question was my Dad's... and the scum who killed them used cricket wickets to repeatedly hit them. If anybody hears anything about the evil ***** who did it, please let me know.

Jay, was it you I saw in Tyldesley today behind the motorbike next to Tyldesley baths?

Had quad headlights and Subaru written across the top of the windscreen in some kind of dodgy italic font.

Thanks mate. I've just swapped the black wheels off it now... and fitted some Rays Volk 3-Spokes. Yours was looking very nice too.
I know which car is definitely yours now, so shall wave next time I see you.

I was behind that grey Type R a few hours ago... deb's or whoever it says on the plate. There was a website in the back window... but can't remember it, but it was along the lines of scooby (something).co.uk

It also looked to have a genuine carbon spoiler too.

Off topic, does anyone know any decent conservatory people around this area. Been quoted close to 7k for a 3.2m x 3.5m inc of vat and building, plastering and electrics etc dwarf wall and moving a drain.
