RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted November 29, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2020 In the mid to late 70's when I was running my first P6, a white 2200 TC, it was amusing to see the cars in front of me touch their brakes and slow down when I hove into view in their rear view mirror!

Mike. Watched the same reaction around the same years, with a white 3,500. Quite amusing. Two of us were on the M1 going to an RAF course, in uniform. My mate kept his hat off until they could just see the head silhouette, then put it on. We had 50 miles worth of smiles. Julian 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted November 29, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2020 Reminds me of a job I did in the early 70’s with the Laindon Traffic division, we were out on night shift in a 2.5Pi along the A127 when a Rover 3500 scorched past us....we soon caught up when the driver of the Rover held a stethoscope out of the drivers window......we overtook and waved a pair of hand cuffs out of the passenger window, anyhoo he stopped and explained he was a surgeon on an emergency dash to East London hospital, he was “chatted to” and told to follow us (if he could keep up) the rest of the way, we got him there sooner as we got him through the reds all the way. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Spotted outside a local bodyshop this morning, just round the corner from our booking on point - a bright 1989 Maserati Biturbo V6 '430' four door, a rare old sight and then some, as only 1,236 were built and very few came over to the UK.

steve1 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 In Morrisons' car park the other day I saw a blue Citroen Ami 6 Estate. Couldn't phot as I was driving through. Years since I've seen one of them. steve 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 That was the same reaction I had to seeing the Renault 6 on the exotic car pictures. Speaking of the Ami, I haven't seen a Dyane for years either. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically not a Maserati Biturbo. The Biturbo got a bad name (BuyTrouble) hence they renamed them when they did some major changes (heavily redesigned front suspension, switch to 5 stud wheels, power steering, diff, fuel injection, etc) All the best Katy 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
