	Were your ears burning this afternoon? I spotted this in Ipswich traffic today........ See what I see at the head of the queue? I'd seen it go across the lights just earlier, thought this would be the best shot I got, but....... Gotcha! Had a quick chat with it's flat-capped owner, he knew you chaps, unsurprisingly. Seemed a fine way to enjoy the spring sunshine, better than the Astra TD van I was driving anyway While I'm in a Skoda frame of mind, am I right in thinking that the people who brought Skodas here also imported these Zetor tractors? Or did they bring in Ursus? This has been sitting up the road from me for years, been meaning to get a photo for a long time. Edit: Just noticed the Boxster has its roof up - fool!

	hmm. I don't automatically reognise that car. not seen one of those exhausts before, though it looks like a standard item with a different tip. did the owner tell you his name? and christ, doesnt it look gorgeous? yeah, the imports of skoda used to inport those tractors. though I cant remember which of the ones you mentioned it was. I think it was Zetor. EDIT. : bstardchild owes Daverapid a drink at the next rr meet for that one!

	That's in stunningly fine condition! Excellent spot and good following techniques I'd 100% like that if it wasn't a convertible and was lowered 1". Doesn't quite 'gel' for me, I think the side profile doesn't quite work.

	;)A skip??!!!! How dare you! ;D It's got wheels, surely that makes it a wheely bin, especially with a folding lid! 8-)Damned nice car though, shame about the Halfords/Barry exhaust tailpipe extension! I don't know the owner of that car, but I do know the owner of another Rapid cabrio in Ipswich, it's a Mk1 and it's for sale.

	Just remember, you don't have to know the owner, the Names "Young Rob", and "Dave, the bloke with the Bugrat" are internationally known in the community by now.
