I only ever see one other EsCos around Brighton / East Sussex on a regular basis - and the owner works at the same place I do. It's a Mallard Green Lux on 18" Super Turismos, can't recall the reg though. It does have a non-standard exhaust, so could be the same car your mate saw. Do you see any others about?

The Monte will be my family's I assume (Mallard Green, PPlate), as I've never seen another about.

Aha! small world indeed! I met a chap via pistonheads.com who lives in the next road from me (starts with the same bit as your road, but ends 'Way' ) who owns a very nice Ferrari 208 (Italian-spec 308) - we just about share a fence! Odd how these things happen

The EsCos you saw yesterday could well be the one I see daily at work.

Ah, right - another one then! The Mallard car I see has Super Turismos. Is your mate based in the Brighton area, or was he passing through?

He He, it was me.



Not in the car pictured left but my knew one!

Pulsar looked pretty impressive aswell.

The cars a bit of a project at the moment, only owned it a month and i got it with a pooped turbo and engine, but i guess all good things take time and its pushing nearly 400bhp already so i cant complain!
You cant really miss me, the bold white wheels kind of give me away

Cheers for your compliments mousegtir, greatly appreciated!

Dan's got the 'rrari sorted now, I think - new ignition leads took care of it. He actually does all the maintenance himself! I have seen your Pulsar quite a bit - very nice too.
