Was there a rally or something in Abertillery yesterday?
FIVE in the space of a couple of hours.
Gleaming black WRX classic.
Blue STi blob, again gleaming.
Another very tidy blue WRX classic.
A noised-up green classic with Solberg decals.
Despoilered crystal grey WRX, blob from the reg (only saw the back of it going past the pub).

I passed you parked on Tillery street. I am not the one with Peta Solberg Decals but I have seen that one parked down by the Bush. Its actually a blob eye. Number plate suffix 'ARD'.
I'm only in town occasionally when I pop to my mum's up on Blythe Street.
That type 20 is a heck of a machine.
I still have my hawkeye STI but just bought a red pug 106 for commuting so if you see a guy in a red pug wave that will be me.
Having said that I will probably be in the scooby when up in Aber as I am usually only there in the weekends and most
Likely will be giving the Impreza a run.

'Rehab' tends to imply a process that removes faults or retrains people ie. it's external to the person.
It takes a lot more for a person to initiate it themselves, to realise something's amiss and to find the inner strength to seek assistance in order to find their way back to their old selves.
I have nothing but admiration for VO residents, members or whatever the correct term is.
Those who provide that support are also very worthy of mention.

I haven't.
I'm non-programmable, given the wife's failed to change me in 33 years of trying.
57 years of age, attitude of 'forever 25' and driving a flying machine. I don't think even Freud would have tried.

Black blob WRX on the mountain road between New Tredegar and Bedwellty.
You looked a bit surprised as we passed each other.
Don't know if it was the car or the speed I was doing !

I was probably a bit obtuse and didn't put it across as well as I could have.

I passed a blue hawkeye STI with Silver wheels at the traffic lights between Gilfach and Pengam.
That is the first I have seen on the roads since I bought mine last September.
Luckwelshchap's Type 25 being the only other blue hawkeye Impreza I have seen.
I was travelling incognito in my Red 106.

oops sorry Dai I admit that I sometimes get confused over whether the Hawkeye is a Type 20 or 25. 
My memory is terrible presently.
I got you text about possibly meeting but we didnt make any plans.
Life is hectic, what with work and family but I try and make it to aber on weekends if i can.
I am hoping to pop up tomorrow at some point - ideally in time to have a look at the car show.
If you are about I can stop by for a catch up. If you are busy I understand.

Lovely looking P1 parked up on somebodys drive by the side of the a40 (Scethrog Bends) , private plate aswell. Fairly certain i saw the same car back ladt year driving through town, have no idea if its local though or someone visiting family. Either way, a beautiful car nonetheless.
