completely blanked by a WR1 driver
 

...even tho he was parked next to me in the traffic que.

Now I would have thought a WR owner would deffo be a fellow enthusiast.

Guess I've been away too long,you may not see many Impreza's in Belgium,but at least they all exchange a friendly wave on the very odd occasion that you do see another one:)

Jon:D

Oh by the way eeeuuuwww;)

probably to busy doing his make up!
martin

you should live in Swindon, anyone would think I was invisible!

Oh well keep trying...

who said that?

PMSL
:D

Another one in Swindon :Suspiciou

I used to see one driving from Blunsdon towards Highworth every morning (I won't say where it parks up in the daytime) but the miserable bu99er never waves.

That's not you is it? :)

No, innocent of that one, live in Old Town, don't have much cause to go to Highworth.

What do you drive? Will keep an eye out for you, show you I'm not a miserable bu99er! I'm in a 51 green WRX, mechanically standard - for now :D

:)

Well i did have a P1 until very recently (last week) but sadly it's now sold. So these days i'm mostly being sensible by owning a TDI Skoda. :eek: :D

Sounds like children or a wife got in the way...

My commiserations. I still get a grin when I get in, almost a year after getting it :D I'd call it pathetic if it wasn't me doing it!

Saw a wr1 yesterday coming out of local village. Gave wave , and got a nothing back he saw me, cos he looked across. But thats practically the norm round here. There are about 7 - 10 that i see wave acknoledge each other, and the rest which seem to be the ones I see most just blank you. Maybe IM should update the owners handbook to say something about waving.

PMSL :lol:

Wrong on both counts, some excuse about buying a house is the reason ;)

How has this inadvertantly turned into a Swindon appreciation society thread?

I 'ate Swindon,I do;)

Not only did they reject me as budding young footballer(in the days of Don Rogers and Peter Noble:))

...but also my first wife ran off with some geyser from Highworth:suspicious:

lol,Jon:D

Can't say I thoroughly enjoy living in Swindon, if I'm honest, but it's amazing how these provincial towns get this black hole like grip on you. I came here to work almost four years ago and am still here...

Probably cos I'm too lazy to get round to moving somewhere nice. Worked in Bristol briefly - must be the only person who commuted FROM Swindon TO Bristol. God knows why I don't live there, must be that laziness again :D

Yup, partly correct mate. :)

Speaking of Swindon, are there ever any meets round here? Probably looking to buy a new Scooby in a few months and wouldn't mind seeing and hearing what's on offer and picking a few brains

What do you want to know?

Swindon seems to have more than its fair share of burberry topped chavs.

I wouldn't live in Swindon, but working there isn't to bad. It's that lovely feeling you get when you leave the place behind at the end of the day. Makes you appreciate where you live.

Swindon a.k.a Swine Don ('Pig hill' in old English) Throws a different light on bringing home the bacon :D

I know who you mean. He doesn't even wave to other WR1 drivers, definitely a grumpy old git. Either that or he needs his eyes tested.

Used to get the same feeling driving to Bristol - only I had to come back here in the evenings :cry:

Assume you're replying to me?

Are there any meets or where can I find out about them when they happen? Only really after a chat at some stage over the next few months to see what my options are

The 'Events' Forum in Scooby Net is one source for meets. Watch out for MattW though, he'll try to get you to go to an Evo meet :D

:p

Seen this yet Matt?

:D

Regarding local meets, there's a biggie once a month in Reading just off the M4. Never been myself though. Lots of scoobys in Swindon though, at least 2 other P1s and 2 or 3 WR1s that i know of. Plus Bob Rawle lives here and has got a couple of rather tasty Scoobs. :cool:

LoL great link Iwan, Matt is going to love that :D

LMAO, very good.

Looks exactly like mine too!

Not many meets in swindon, I also live in old town and I drive a yellow special edition impreza with a black bonnet, have not noticed alot of people waving round here though, so dull.

Wonder if any of you have seen me around?

Maybe we should organise a meet at some point?

Peter

I'm up for that if there's nothing else going on round here, just let me know if you have any plans

Someone did arrange a Swindon meet last summer, quite a few turned up but it was the same weekend as the IAT airshow at Fairford and lots of peeps were already going to that instead.

Do you think we should ask Webby for some kind of Events Forum?:rolleyes:

Please let my post die a natural death:D
