Default The not spotted thread.

I've noticed over my years of frequenting car forums that people, possibly those who have certain social foibles, like to post on 'spotted' threads about journeys they've undertaken without spotting the vehicle in question, thus defeating the point of said thread, so I thought I'd create somewhere for them to seek the recognition they deserve.

So, fill your boots, let us all know where you've been and not seen another S2000 to wave at.

As always, fictitious, bogus, sarcastic and generally p!ss takey contributions are very welcome.

I for one took the dog for a walk along the beach this evening and there wasn't a sniff of one on the horizon, literally.

Love and kisses to all,
FB

I drove practically the whole length of Cornwall today, and didn't see a single S2000, but the highpoints of the day were an exhibition that had an Aston Martin DB5 very poorly mocked up to look like the goldfinger car and a Pork Butcher burning merrily at the side of the road.

I'm in the thunder box at work - didn't see a single S on my way, no waves exchanged.

ps. Obviously, as I didn't see any S's, none of them had their roofs down.
Come on people, it's a lovely sunny day out there!!!

No S's in the office car park today. there's normally at least one with its roof up (in all weathers !)


I'm off for a wander into Reigate now and expect the chances are I wont see one there either. I will report back to either this thread or the other one later on the outcome of this expedition.


Edit: I successfully did not see any, especially when I exited M&S with a Tuna Sandwich and a packet of Cheese and Onion.
