DXB spotted on A14 today.

I was in the black Touring this afternoon just before the A11 turning, my wife was driving.

I suspect it has been bugging you who gave you a nod.

I sensed that you were for a few ‘games’, my wife is rubbish and bottled it even before she started....

Hi mate, I had feeling it would be someone on the forum. Did you see the DXB plate a mile off lol?! (I live quite close to where you saw me, where do you live?)

I went to give thumbs up as i slowed down to go off up the A11 but you were looking down lol. Your daughter? in the back looked pretty bored.



Nice to ''sorta'' meet you lol.

Carlos

EDIT, your car looked good mate by the way.

Nice to sort of meet you Carlos, yes the DXB plate is quite memorable.
My wife now thinks I belong to some ‘BMW chat room’ now, she finds in hilarious, especially as I spotted a fellow member on the A14.
I live in Bury St Edmunds, you?

Oh, wow! That's scary. I never knew when I was driving down in that area just how close I was to Carlos Fandango the Tarmac Terrorist and his infamous DXB. I'm likely to endanger myself once more before Christmas, too.

Anyone care to meet for a bite to eat (after 12 PM) on the 13th?

Yes, she is my daughter, only 17 and has not passed her test yet. My company car insurance only lets over 21's drive it anyway.

Just a nod? Good god, us in the Classic Car world wave, flash lights, toot the horn!!

I'm yet to spot anyone from here yet!

Actually did something really embarrassing yesterday, drove by another E39 5 Series on a smallish road and waved! (forgetting that E39 5 Series DO NOT wave at each other) must have thought I was either warning of the police or just a nutter.....
