TLDR: Saw a Ford GT, thought it was Shmee, he confirmed it wasn't.
So due to reasons I found myself having to return to our office at Hethel Engineering Centre at 8pm last night, and being in a bit of a hurry I was hoofing it along the back roads between here and there. Not far from HEC I rounded a bend in a narrow lane to be confronted with a very wide Red & Gold Ford GT coming at me. Fearful I would lose another £105 wing mirror cover from the Titty-X I averted disaster in the nick of time in a passing place and we passed, but not before I had the chance to admire the sheer presence of the thing. And how squeaky the brakes are. I've never seen one for reals before, and it looked pretty epic.
I couldn't imagine there were two Red & Gold Ford GTs like that so I wondered if I'd inadvertently put the wind up Shmee.
Just for lols when I got home I sent him a DM on Instagram and asked if I'd just passed him near Hethel, and to my surprise a little while later he replied and said no the car is in the US and sent a pic of it from where he was in New York, and we had a little back and forth talking about the car I saw and whose it might have been, and Multimatic in Thetford where they are serviced. Turns out there's a gold stripe red car in a lighter red colour, and that it was probably that one. It was getting towards dusk when I saw it so entirely possible.
Anyway, I thought it was decent of him to engage me in conversation for 10 mins or so when he must get hundreds of DMs a day and a constant stream of abuse, and my internal not-a-cunt-o-meter swung a little bit further towards the OK guy end. I quite enjoy a fair amount of his content if you take it for what it is, but I know some people can't stand him.
Thanks for coming to my TimTalk.
