Hi Lucian

Nice looking GLT you have there!

Its a SE not a Torslander by the way!

I am on the M25 most days between the M3 and Redhill junctions

Funnily enough only last week I was wondering why I see so few 240's on the M25 despite covering at least 600 miles each week on there

Silver Torslanda at the nec was mine if it was the car park by the station.It's just had a trip to the Lake District for the Grizedale Stages Rally too.I'll have to investigate the vocal front suspension after 40 miles in the forest!

Oops! Sorry, my bad.

I'm on there twice a week, but 50/50 between my XC90 and the GLT to try and get some miles on the GLT.

Kind regards

Easy mistake to make - being as its a late model with lots of black bits of trim etc

Have just got back from near Worthing, where I saw no less than 5 240 estates excluding my one. A late (L-reg) white one seems to regularly visit a nursing home in Lancing: round the corner from my friends place a K-reg silver Torslanda has appeared (lovely refurbed Corona wheels): the usual Torslanda in Sompting, where a blue one like mine was outside a house too, and adjacent the showroom of a car sales place on the A27 is the chief mechanics late fathers early 240GLT awaiting new brakes etc after a lay-up.
Beat that Gothenberg !

1410hrs today on M42 heading south - 240 estate.

Was it you?

In a tiny West Cornwall village, Zennor, two white 240 estates, one H reg., with Cornish number (something RL) very smart and clean, the other, my Tors, very muddy! Don't know if the other people saw mine, it was slightly hidden in the pub car park, and as I say, very muddy, so probably barely recognisable!

Yes, that's the one! Nice looking car you have there! Any pics of it on the rally stages?

Another one in Sussex! I was on a bus going east along the sea shore in Brighton when a white estate pulled out (safely of course!) in front of us. He headed east just before lunch.

There's a beaut of a 245 GLT I've seen about 5 times in Bitterne Park in Southampton. Bumper fitted fogs and pretty much mint Burgundy (Regency Red) Metallic paint. Think it's an 84 on a B reg.
