Deffo wasn't me

Mine's never been down the M5 (while in civilian service).

Thanks for the shout-out tho


EDIT

I just realised how far the M5 goes... I did have a blast down the bottom end, past Exeter on the way to Trago Mills.

Roughly how long ago?

Has yours got yellow Prancing Moose stickers on the side??

For the first time in nearly 5 years of driving probably the most recognisable ex-plod in the country, I've been spotted!! On a Volvo forum no less! (been spotted on pistonheads once).

You sir, have made my day!

I find that amazing mate, you really stood out to me, even though you were going in the opposite direction to me (and we were both in the outside lane) I could tell your car was something special

By the way, your car looks great in the flesh, even just as a quick passing glimpse
