Default Spotted.. Gareth Lloyd?

Last night pimping round the local MaccyD's with the Nova boys in his F40 (Don't know anyone else in Stoke with one!)

Sounded awesome though

He then drove past the pub where we were in the beer garden on a hill (Basford Bank for anyone who knows the area) and he rolled down it in gear for about 3 minutes , sounded AWESOME! Like anti lag but a million times better

Could hear him ragging it down the dual carrigeway for about 5 miles as well, that thing is seriously loud!

Sorry to dissapoint, but Gareth's F40 is actually a TR7 with a body kit and a Rover V8 on solex carbs .

Bit like his Escort Cossie replica with an RS turbo engine

The F40 was definitely turbo'd and proper

CSLMan, I don't think they were gunning it to be honest, and Gareth does have an F40 plate on his car? I'm pretty sure there are no others in the area, especially that have been known to visit the old Festival Park on the odd occasion

P.S. Do you work in the IT industry? Just wondering about something! (i.e. Is there any in Stoke )

Hello... Yes I'm in the IT industry

I'm sure Gareths plate is MR2 something... cuz it's not a real F40
