Bug & Mac F1

Honest Honest Honest

I was working in Basingstoke on Thursday and travelled behind a Maclaren F1 on the M25 for about 10miles on the way home to Bedfordshire. Strangely the car was a non-mettalic crap plasticy blue colour.

Then, on Friday afternoon, a Bugatti Veyron passed me (coming towards me) on a lane between Biggleswade and Potton in Bedfordshire. This is a 40mph dropping to a 30 mph road, so got a goodish look. Metallic burgandy wings with a big silver stripe down the middle. Didn’t cop the driver or the reg no as I sailed past with my mouth wide open. Can’t quite believe I saw two amazing vehicles within 24hrs, especially the veyron.

Good spot - haven’t seen any blue macca’s around though, but that obviously doesn’t mean there aren’t any, besides, 10 miles makes identification pretty definite.

I once saw Rowan Atkinson in his burgundy Macca out on the A3. Last one I thought I saw turned out to be a Mosler, but my initial glimpse was a fleeting one.

Anyone know who this fella Flemke actually is ?.. seems like a very interesting character

never saw any pics of his car - CBA searching the 72 pages - but i read a few of his posts and was pretty interested.

Petrol Ted met him before he started posting, claiming he had the Macca as a few had made up loads of stuff about owning one when they hadn’t. Seems genuine enough and has a Carrera GT as well.
