Spotted a blue 480ES in Durham on Sunday, the first time I've seen another while driving (and not at another 480 owners place) since december 2009! I got excited.
Also spotted some dude in a minibus flashing his lights at me after I'd passed, on the A1 somewhere near Leeds, think he was happy to see me as opposed to anything falling off!
And a youth in a souped up Honda about breaking his neck looking at the 480 at a roundabout in Fife.
All in one journey....

Re: Petrol blue (paris?) ES in Durham
Jamesy12345 has a Paris blue Turbo, he's sometimes known to be knocking around Durham.
Think he's out of town at the minute though.
Does make your day though when they get a bit of attention doesn't it?
Almost makes all the swearing worthwhile!

Hammers can't fix a 480!!!

Re: Petrol blue (paris?) ES in Durham
Hi guys, (Hi again Jamesy?!)
It was on Sunday at 12.45, the roundabout with the A690 and A181, the blue 480 had come from the A1 direction and was turning left onto the A181, there was one car between us & only saw you when you were pulling onto the roundabout, I went straight on.
I really was very surprised!
