Held up by a 'bimbler' tonight
Driving a few miles home through the (60mph) countryside this evening in our 1.6 petrol Fiesta, I was held up by a big white Japanese sports car pootling along at 50mph maximum.
I could have overtaken him in a couple of places, but thought better of it.
The culprit? - A '63' reg GT-R...!
I suspect it was absolutely brand new and the chap was quite understandably taking it really steady while he got used to it on his drive home from the dealership.
Was I envious? Oh Yes! But I certainly enjoyed following him. Aren't their brake lights bright.
I hope he looks after it well, as I'm going to buy it in around fifteen years time once they get down to about £5000 (in my dreams).

The Fiesta's from 2010.
To be honest, after I posted this, I thought 'what was the point of that?', but it just amused me that it was a GT-R that was holding me up rather than the usual Honda Jazz or similar.

Well I found the post particularly interesting as I know the 1.6 Fiesta is a mean and sought after vehicle, especially the rare petrol version.
My only problem being that I am the only person on SN who hasn't a clue what a GT-R is
But I do know that '63 motors did have an "A" prefix as that is the year they started adding letters to number plates. Does that help?
