Who was the fella I waved at this morning going round Abingdon periphery (just by the leisure centre) at about 9.30am today (Sunday)? I think it was a 996 but wouldn't swear it.

I should add that mine is also a biposto although I am pretty sure the 748s came in single seat guise as well.

Delooney, my logbook says 748s although yours looks very much like an s model.
