on monday evening about 7pm, i was driving down the A22 in Whyteleaf towards Wapses Lodge Roundabout (Ann Summers Building)

driving past me heading towards Kenley/Croydon was an E30 convertible, blue, top down (i think) with a big ol' body kit on it!! thought it might of been one of Bootymans chariots, but someone told me he lived in Madrid?!

the convertible then pulled into the petrol station where the speed camera :x is (i watched in my rear view mirror!)

i had every intention of turning round, to go to the garage and see who it was, but i didnt wanna look a pratt, and the missus was with me too!!

so, who was it? and if it wernt anyone on here, do you know who it was?

lol! milan i think ;)

i think ive brushed past this before or maybe im seeing things! :mad:

on the subject of was it you! ::::

325i on alpinas (think its a tech 1) in shirley area!!! seen twice driving through shirley.. last seen going down "the glade" (i was on my bike first time, and busted up car second!)

Also, theres a nice Alpina in West wickham, and tech 2 going towards shortlands from beckenham on that long road! so many nice ones within a 4 mile radius! i think theres potential!

alpina was a light bluey grey, think i might pop a flyer in his letter box... its a shame if he aint on here!!

im sure him and simon can compare each others alpinas, they can pair off holding hands. :mad:

tech 2 was black also! on 17" azevs, (looked sweet i must say, think im growning quite fond of azevs! )

If the car looked a bit like mine and was Estriol Blue then it's one of Dean's mates car. I know they are from that area too. The kit is a Mod's Tuning kit, which is basically the same as the Rieger, but some bright spark had the idea to take the Rieger kit, remove the fins and sell it as their own. Nedless to say, they only sold a few and went bust :(

Anyway before i bought the Msport, i wanted to buy it and chop it up, but he didn't want to sell it :twisted:
