Since I picked up my lastest Impreza i'm always on the look out for others but hardly see any. I see some classics but virtually never see newage STI's

In fact I think I have seen half a dozen since April.

Today I was behind a hawkeye STI heading south on the Malpas road at around 5PM
and it was nice to see one out and about. Looked lovely as I followed it onto the M4.

I know they are not the cheapest cars to run but I'm left wondering how there is just so few.

Its nice to be in something a little bit more exclusive though and often heads turn so cant grumble.

I just remembered I have also seen a few hatches.

Has anyone else noticed how rare they are on our roads in South Wales?

 

There's quite a few around the Neath area - have to agree with you on the hatch front though - only ever seen about 3 on the roads around here..

 

theres a few around my area four newage and about six classics that i now of i now most of the drivers some are on here also iv heard that my old car is in haverfordwest being driven by a fella wearing a base ball cap

 

Lots of classics around Wrexham but not many newage ones

 

they must all be in the rhondda lol as i pass a few when i go and come home from work and hear them everyday when im out the back or in the garage passing on the main roads around where i live

 

I see loads in the Cynon,rhondda valleys.

 

There are a few around the above valleys.

Think i have seen yours a few times around the Mountain Ash area etc, im usually in a Polo though. The scoob only comes out the odd weekday and weekend these days and doesnt tend to go far then

Bring on the next run, it needs the cobwebs blowing out of its pipes i think!

 

Yes that's me. Im allways around the Mountain Ash area, Aberdare, myrther, Every day is a play day for my Scoob. (Syndrome)

 

Quite a few round the brecon area, more so newage bugs and blobs around than anything, as lee says often hear them blasting up the bypass from my place too!

 

Theres a nice Cosworth hatch one in Bridgend!!

 

I WANT ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I see less now but back 2-3 yr ago they were everywhere, partly why i sold my classic and went to the evo...... now got the blobeye and much prefer driving this to the evo plus i dont see as many, now its all evo's.

 

8 or 9 every day go past my house

 

I live in South Wales and I've got a Blob STi. Running costs especially petrol are absolutely ridiculous, but its worth it!

 

I agree. I wouldn't change it for anything. Well unless it's a blob Spec C.

Maybe I'll keep the one in my garage and not give it back.
