This might help you out Andy. http://goo.gl/maps/GxulF

If the link don't work then "drive" Google maps round Darmouth Circus roundabout above the A38(M)

First one in months! White 5 door 340. Passed him on the avon valley road system and judging by the speed the old guy caught me up, I'm guessing a 1.7. Gave me a smile, I think he was just as surprised as I was.

You also seemed to express the desire to not get shot, I couldn't guarantee that this and the location of the pump could go hand in hand :P :lol:

No pics, but I clocked what I think was a V300 on Have I Got News For You earlier, and one just now in the background on Deals on Wheels.

Drunk driven one of unknown model on Traffic Cops, that the police forced into a concrete post :lol:

Also a 3dr mk2 340/360 learner car on the 90's joyriding/ram raiding classic, Shopping.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUp7J2Jec7I Spin on to 05:19 to see the beast.
I'm surprised I have never noticed it before, having seen this film a few times. I clocked an RS1600i too.
