Where abouts were you fellas? I was out for a run about that time, drove from Sheffield to Buxton then a roundabout route home via Castleton and Hathersage. Lovely crispy top down weather that day!

It's been ages since I've seen another S on the roads. My waving hand is getting twitchy!

I cant believe I didn't see you, we drove from Penistone, and down through the peaks to Bakewell for around 11am, had a cofee, then through Hathersage for lunch about 12.30, then drove towards holmfirth through snakes pass, and through glossop to woodhead, where we saw bob. So we must of just missed you.

Bob have a great time in Spain mate, try and post your pics up If you can.

I'd say the chances are quite high, Bob spends all his weekends driving around national parks in his S!

No, but you don't have to go too far to find a decent road.

Were the pics taken in a lay-by on the road coming down from the moors towards the Snake Pass and Glossop? They looked familiar when I saw them last night (can't see pics at work at present).

If so, I've got a pic of my first S2000 in the same place taken back in 02 - I keep going back to it from time to time as my screen backdrop at work.

Yep thats the exact same spot, you can tell by the chunk missing out of one of the fences. It really is a cracking place for a drive.

How weirds that, you've even got the same unusual number plate spacing as mine

Thanks for the comments on the pics guys, just waiting for Bobs, think he may be on a plane by now.
