Saw the silver RX again, this time on Timberlog lane near vange on me way home from work in the van  
Looked bloody amazing. I can\'t believe you aren\'t on this forum!
Sounded really good too...

Saw the yella fella again last night. Monday at 8pm on the way towards the A127 from wickford (A132).
Was in the coop but didn\'t see it in time to flash/ bib. Tried to turn as soon as poss to pursue but had to go right down the the roundabout with the BP garage on...
Flew over to Festival cos i figured that was the most likely destination for someone heading that way but didn\'t see you again  
I got a new chip the other day and have been looking forward to an encounter even more . Up to around 250-260bhp now.
I drew with a burgundy evo 8 from 10-110 last week...

p.s. you\'ve got a rear light out

[not so furious]

Nice car Trappy, always liked those coops. Good handling too so i hear.

By the way, do you own a Burberry cap?

[Trappy]

Handling is only \'better than you\'d think\', not really good IMHO.

Had a run with the silver Rex at last. Off the roundabout at the pitsea end of Broadmaine, he zipped away and turned down the road to pitsea. Followed and quickly became aware of two more cars following. A seat Ibiza cupra thing and a punto GT with noisy dumpvalve and funny flat exhausts
Onto the straight he was flat out, pulling two lengths out of me in second and into third. Sounded a bit raspy, not very healthy. Then the punto flew past perhaps level with it. Approaching the long sweeping left hander the rex is gone, the punto remaining nice and flat through the bend matching my pace and the Seat is all over me. Approaching the roundabout under the A13 they all turn left heading for McDonalds (maybe they have the burberry caps ) so i left them to it.
Oh... and I was in the Mx5, if I had been in the coop i would have destroyed all three, indeed the SEAT has already fell victim to it on three occasions

Yellow at Laindon Shopping centre last night. You were parked by the phone boxes... anyone on here?

[TonyBlair]

I\'ve never seen someone post so many posts up in the \'Was it you\' section... Trappy, I think you\'ve earned "Rex Spotter" status. Do you have a note book of where you\'ve seen RX7\'s and a list of their VIN numbers?  :rollin

I\'m just teasing mate, no offence intended - it\'s just suprising that you see so many. I see a Rex once every 2-3 weeks if I\'m lucky.

All the best,
Jon

Lol, just logged in to post another!!
On the A130 (new one) Chelmsford bound. Didn\'t see a reg or anything, was either black or dark green....
I always keep an eye out on the road for sporty motors and rexs stand out from a mile away!

Could have been me, what day/time ?

[Trappy]

Er... 2:45/ 3:15 ish??? Monday afternoon I reckon...

[Trappy]

Saw a black FD heading onto the A127 at the wickford turnoff. Pursued up the slip road but you weren\'t interested. Distinctive purple ring round the zorst, looked nice.

[Trappy]

Saw the black one with shopping list and trolley handle on the back again last night (you know who you are!!). You were heading along the A132 towards Whitmore way. I shot up behind but you didn\'t seem interested. I changed into fourth and then you went for it. Sounded really nice, zippy but not tinny. Best word to describe it would be... \'useful\'. The sound really is captured well on GT4 methinks...
Approaching a roundabout you/he kept a big gap between himself and the car in front. I thought it was gonna go flat out round the twisty bits so I crept up the inside to minimise my disadvantage but he turned off... Damn, thought I was finally gonna have a go with a proper one.
I was feeling confident that day after turking a 4.0 chimera a scooby and a 300xz too...

[Mims]

Trappy should be spotter of the year!! SOM1 GIVE HIM A MEDAL OR SOMTHING... i havnt seen an fd in about 5 months,(apart frm my own ofcourse  :p!) ive seen more murcielago\'s then rex\'s!!!!!

[not so furious]

trappy likes to race other cars on public roads...very clever indeed.

Get your car on a track trappy and grow up!

[Chico]

I\'d quite like trappy to come race me.........

[Trappy]

There\'s a new RX7 in toen now. Red without a spoiler and it looks imo better for it!
Seen it 5 times in a month so a tear-up is imminent...
As for the track thing, there\'s no way I\'m gonna pay £150 to go and slaughter a pair of £90 tyres and cook £100s worth of brakes pads, possibly discs too. You\'ve gotta be mad in my book. Rather a quick 15 sec tear-up up a double laned, quiet dual carriageway. If anyone wants a tear-up plan it I don\'t care. I was gonna go to your Dick Turpin meet a few months back but my manifold cracked and sounded like a type-writer!

p.s. had a run with a supra on the A127. 70-140 leptons was dead level...
Three times so there\'s no way my motor would get hammered by a standard rex. One final note. A guy on our forum got slaughtered by a rex FROM 120. Anyone on here?
