Hello

It wasn't me but I have got a black wagon and I do have gold wheels (well they're sort of brake dust black at the moment ), but I'm in the Valley not on the Hill.

I thought I was the only classic black wagon around these parts - who is this interloper?!

Yep, I've got "new age" WRX wheels on my car. Did this other wagon have the same wheels as well then?

Bit much really if there's another black wagon with the same wheels. This town's not big enough for the both of us.

Still haven't spotted you yet.

Cant believe anything else sounds like your car

I think I've been stalking you mate. I used to live in Yorke Gate and now Hambledon Park, I think (and I hope you dont mind me saying) that you've lived in those places as well??

Think you've moved up the road now.

Always flash or wave when I see you. You dont fancy swapping cars do you?

Oh my god!! Wondered who that was.
You're right though. Lived in York gate and hambledon park. Now over by Court road, though have to drive round the houses avoid the speed humps!!

I think my neighbours on Hambledon were glad to see the back of me!

My son, 4 year old knows you car by sound, when he hears your car he immedialtey shouts "P1". He's a big fan.

Thought you'd got a Yellow M3 (E46)few months back as I didnt see you car parked up anymore but same space held by an M3 now.

Think you were around Hambledon on Saturday early afternoon?

Yes, was on way to Tesco's. M3 was owned by a chap in same block of flats. Met his brother on Saturday with the souped up Cougar when I had intellistart and turbo timer fitted. He's having NOS fitted! Nutter.

Good to hear there is one fan of my exhaust note! I like it but the girlfriend and passengers dont' seem to have the same enjoyment!

Question

I've seen that Cougar too, I'd better keep out of his way !!

What exhaust system have you got on yours? Is it really intrusive on the m'way?

It is an afterburner system with the carbon fibre titanium rear box.
Is fine in the driving seat but can drone slightly for rear passengers. I don't mind it at all and well worth it for the perfomance and "popping". Fantastic.

Spooky !!

Black Wagon with exactly the same gold wheels. Parked facing down the road on the side going up as well, very near Tesco's.

Have you checked you bank account recently, maybe someone's trying to be you.

Ah yes. Was having a trim in Turnstyles.
Yes, V pleased with the exhaust. Got done for my number plates though the other day. Had to say had recently moved and sent log book off.....thus under the new rules can't get legal ones made until it is sent back. It's taking ages (sitting in my drawer it may take forever!!)

Bank account is permanently empty and my life certainly isn't worth cloning!

Was it non-standard spacing that you got done for?

Yes and the fact the front number plate was stuck on to the front spoiler!
Luckily the copper wasn't traffic and liked the car so let me off! I had to turn the engine off sharpish though as I thought he may notice the exhaust note!
