    Spotted: Turbo2, M1/Luton roadworks

    And it looked/sounded the don

    Red, stickered up, and heading northbound through the roadworks about half 2/3pm ish yesterday.

    I was travelling southbound, but spotted it a mile off - The noise as it went past made me realise I need another 5 (albeit GTT) in my life...

    Wow. That was a joy to peruse. I couldn't help but look at all 308 pics
