Silver MR2 in Cambridge

Post by Tsunami »

Spotted yesterday about quarter to six, not far from Addenbrooke's on the ring road.
Very nice two in silver with a rev 5 spoiler and other body kit (pretty sure it had a Border bumper).
Followed shortly by a black two heading the other way to me (so I didn't get to see much of it).
MR2 city :)

I work in Huntingdon with two guys who have Tubby's (Chr15py and FozzyRev3)!

Can't say I've seen that many in Cambridge, though. Shame, really.

Sweet. How do peeps feel about a mini meet next week sometime? One eve in the week p'raps. Last time we met at the Exhibition in Godmanchester which has a vast car park and is close to a few nice spots for photos too.
Think we had five last time, myself, mattcambs, chr15py, fozzyrev3 and another whose name I forget.
Could easily be up to 15 though as there are 3 coupes and at least another 3 uk rev1 and 2s within 8 miles, not to mention 4 tubbys which are regularly parked up in the same spots though I dont know their owners.

What you reckon? Could you organise with Chris and Fozzy at work Matt?

Tuesday or Thursday are ok for me and Chris. Let us know. What time though? I live in Saffron Walden, so if you guys fancy going down to Cambridge, I can go home first after work and then meet you all in Cambridge later in the evening. Also, I'm sure that would be better for the chap from Newmarket?

Suits me Matt. How about tues eve then, say 7.30/8ish if that gives you time? Should still be light enough for decent photos. Anyone think of a good pub with a nice big car park in Cambridge.....

Spotted a very nice red rev 3 (or at least thats what it looked like) at the roundabout next to the Beehive centre in Cambridge yesterday about 5.45pm on the way home from work.
Anyone here?

One possibility for the pub could be the Golden Hind. It is very close to the A14 and has a decent sized car park as well as outdoor seating.
it is at:

355 Milton Road
Cambridge
CB4 1SP

Easy to find, just come off the A14 at the Science park exit and head into Cambridge. Pass the science park junction, and you will see it on your right at the next large crossroads.
