That might be the one I see quite a lot...is it near the Oxford Road area?
Got a thumbs up myself today from a rather nice black one

I can't remember the number plate but it was a saloon. Seen it a few times around Asda in Lower Earley and near the Madejski.

I'll keep an eye for you. I am in a WR blue Forester STi.

Neil, do you drive a GB270 saloon or wagon?

I couldn't believe it, was on my way back from work and got waved at by a lass in a blue newage. Didn't catch the model because I was so surprised it wasn't a middle aged bloke driving it

No idea. Like I say, was too surprised by the fact it was a scooby driven by a lass to note much else. Sounds like it was you though.

Where'd you have the remap done, Subaru4u?

Think I might have passed you a few times before round that way but maybe not been quick enough with my wave LOL Waved at some guy parked up in the layby near there recently as well. He had the bonnet up on his white STi wagon.

Jolly Green Monster did it at Surrey rolling road

Probably, I tend to drive home that way in the evenings. The white wagon is probably 'white noise' who posted further up.

So what numbers does yours make now?

It came with a Prodrive back box, we've just upgraded to K&N filter panel, Walbro 255 fuel pump and Japspeed sports cat....so was pretty pleased to hit the 280 mark. TBH, not had it long so still got more mods in mind....just needed a bit more power to keep up with my 350z

Hi Neil,

Yep it was a saloon. Not sure, I think it may have been last Tuesday, the days all seem to be rolling into one at the moment
