    well I may well pass you then as I drive through Cheam everyday! Except I skirt around it these days as the traffic seems to have gone crazy. On my way to Croydon.

    Yes, let me know if you want to meet up.

    Apart from the organized meets, I am yet to ever see another v8 on the roads. Maybe the chances just went up in the local area!
