m-i-g-h-t haveDid he see you papping him Norman?
Know him?
My car was parked opposite; while he was waiting at the lights before turning into the car park, he must have seen it.
I'd earlier been for MOT (fail, but I expected that, just wanted some idea what else would need doing before going to my friendly mechanic), and the tester commented how rare these are, and low mileage this one is (up to 41K now!) and I was like, yeah there used to be 3 or 4 more around here, but they've all gone now.
So this one was sent to prove me wrong!
Just spotted a black cougar on the northbound M23 (in the roadworks) didnt get the reg. No. Smokey rear lights, spoiler. Anyone on here? 2nd one ive seen this year
That'll be our Sam (Catamount), his sills obviously haven't fallen out yet

Indeed that was me. I've officially been Cougar Spotted and feel very honoured!
Sills are still there but I fear she won't be for much longer as MOT is in March. I was still considering trying to attend to her wounds, but now shifting gears is getting harder so I fear the clutch is also starting to fail, and if there's one thing I've learnt in recent times, changing the clutch is not a nice job!

Yes I had a look round it and noted the back of the sill on driver side . . and lots of gear in the boot
If you saw a blue XK8 opposite the White Hart, that was me

Yeah shes not in a good way, although served me well for over 10 years. I wished I'd washed her at the weekend as I'd originally planned now. Yes lots of gear in the boot as having a post-xmas clear out!
EDIT: I actually remember seeing you get out of your XK3 when I returned from lunch! Very nice car!

Not a Cougar, but think I spotted a white Contour SVT on a driveway in Mildenhall, Suffolk on Tuesday. Guess it's owned by a US serviceman due to the airbase nearby.
Spotted a Melina Blue Coug at the local industrial estate down here at Ivybridge, Devon, V reg, looks like it's possibly going to be scrapped, although to me it looked to good to do that, but didn't get a look underneath it. I may try and go down at weekend, if it's still there.
