Saw you in colchester Tescos parked up waiting ?
Was it anyone on here?
I was in Colchester yesterday... but I didn\'t park up in Tesco\'s car park?
This is mine; -
P.S. If you haven\'t already spotted it, there\'s an Essex meet possibly happening next Thursday; http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=119229

Wasn\'t you\'re one buddy, i haven\'t spotted you yet either.
Car was Standard apart from some league 17in wheels.
blimmey... another silver FD in Colcheser!... we\'ll be more common than Fraud Escorts soon :rollin :rollin
Haven\'t seen you about yet either mate. Silver FD with a fibre bonnet if I remember correctly, from Ipswich or Harwich or something?
All the best,
Jon
Im a Black FD, from the Chelmsford area, will be at the next Essex meet.
Hope to see you there.

I think I\'m confusing you with someone else from the club... nevermind, hopefully will see you at the meet mate ;)
Aha!! So it\'s Jon\'s FD i\'ve been ogling lately! Seen your car a few times near the hythe Tesco\'s, wondered if you were on here! Don\'t kno if you\'ve noticed a couple of guys in a silver Civic Type R making funny faces??
Think you\'re thinking of another Andy, goes by the name of scuttlerx on here i think. Silver FD with C-West kit and CF bonnet. Seems to grace colchester with his presense now and then!
By the way, what front end do you have there matey??
You\'re quite right... it was ScuttleRX that I was thinking off - can\'t keep track of who\'s who :confused:
I haven\'t noticed you yet mate... next time you see me beep the horn, flash your lights and make some more funny faces :wave Otherwise I won\'t see you, I tend to not pay much attention to cars other than the one directly in front of me when driving. Presummably you\'ll be in a Civic and not a Rex?
I couldn\'t tell you what front end it is mate... it came with the car. All I can tell you is it\'s got some nasty scrapes and cracks in it and I\'ll be replacing it soon. It was damaged when I got it, but a mini-roundabout added to the damage :eek:
All the best,
Jon
Nope it wasn\'t his one, all he had was a set of 17in wheels, wasn\'t even lowered.
I think I know the one you mean... does it look pretty much standard?
I saw a silver Rex in Colchester two Sundays ago. Doesn\'t seem to be a member of the forum.
That will be the one, i guess.
Going to have to try and tell him about the site if i see him again.
When I saw him a few weeks ago I only noticed it was a Rex when I passed him (like I said before, I don\'t really pay attention to other cars). I was keen to catch him up and stop him to talk about his car. I tried to turn the car around quickly by spinning the back wheels to turn the arse around... it seemed like such an easy manouver to perform especially since I was coming down a hill, but it soon became apparent that a 3 point-turn was necessary... oh how foolish I looked to the on-coming traffic :rolleyes:
because I that I didn\'t catch him up... there were far too many round-abouts that he could of turned off of :confused:
Nevermind... I\'m sure one of us will get him.

Was it this one???
That could well be the one - certainly looks like it. If it is, then it\'s not so "standard" afterall, as I first thought. ;)
Right, well you asked for it!! I\'ll try and make some Si-style smiley faces or something! Yep, a little silver CTR. That said the windows are so tinted it\'s almost impossible to see into the thing anyway!!! :D
Mini roundabout eh? Sounds nasty!! Sure it\'ll be fun picking the replacement though! Think you have a RE Amemiya wing on there too??
Sounded like the essex meet was great, really should have got off my lazy bum and popped down, didn\'t see it til the last minute tho! Next time...
I\'ll try and keep an eye out for you. Tinted huh... what are they, 80% tint, drug dealer style ;)
I\'m sure it will be fun picking a replacement front splitter, but not fun paying for it. It seems ALL my spare cash goes into Shell\'s pocket these days :mad:
As for the round-about... I\'ve a good mind to rent out a small JCB and dig the b@st@rd up! The roads around here anger me! most roads are full of pot-holes and bumps, and the mini-round-abouts require a Range Rover to go over them. I\'ve learnt to drive completely around them now very slowly - as I did when I took my driving test :rollin

Hello chaps, i\'ve also seen a black FD in colchester, was a while back though, and my girlfriends seen a yellow one :) loadsa rex\'s!
Im a Mistley man now but still up colchester pretty regular to see g/f\'s folks and to go to tescos so should bump into you eventually
Lol!! Well they\'re pretty bad tbh, the rears are so dark you can\'t see in whatsoever!! Had to park the car for my friend a couple of weeks ago in an underground car park...couldn\'t see a thing out of the back, it\'s ridiculous!!!
Yeah...good ol\' FD fuel economy hey?? Still considering the performance it\'s really not too bad. Read the other day the newest Range Rover returns approx 8mpg in normal driving!!
Roads here aren\'t great...but compared to scotland (lived there for about 2 years) they\'re brill!!! Still it would be nice if someone could just tidy up some of the routes a bit!
Hmmm i think i last saw you just coming into colchester Andy, just past the BMW dealership? Take it you go to the Highwoods Tesco\'s??? Too bad!!! Seen the black one too, might be owned by a guy called Peter, he\'s had a few over the years...and not much luck with the engines unfortunately!!! Think he\'s got a private plate, with RX on the end???
