Sneaky. Not seen or heard of this one - what model/age is it?

Its a 911 Targa ... that's all I know. The story goes like this.

My cousin was driving towards Dartford ... around junction 5 when he see's a Porsche on his left side. He decides to pull into the middle lane to let him pass when all of a sudden the blue lights in the front grill kick in. Naturally he looks at his Speedo to check if the light are for him ... thankfully not .... the Porsche pulls past and flies away ..... !!!!

I guess they have noticed more performance cars in this region and consider the Porsche up to any pursuit challenge.

Mafford,

Thanks for the offer. I may or may not have internet access in Peterborough. Mind PMing me your telephone number? Drinks would be great. Ironic isn't it...most of my family used to live in Stamford We used to live in Werrington as a matter of fact!

Cheers
Asif

Jules,

I will be basing myself out of Ilford; Sevenkings to be precise, but will spend a day here and there in Chelmsford and perhaps Southend as well..weather permitting.
From where do you hail?

Well, at least I could understand their motivation if that was the case
