Default How many Scoobys How many Beemers?

I took a jaunt from South Wales to Legoland on wednesday, a round trip of about 260 miles for me.

On such trips I always keep a look out for other Impreza's. On the journey down I saw....... wait for it ...... 3.

Although I did see 2 more in Legoland car park as I left (2 silver classics side by side) and a stickered up blobeye passed me in Windsor.

All the way home down the M4 I saw none. So thats 6 in total over 260 miles.

On the way down to pass the time I thought I would see how how many BMWs I could count over a 10mile stretch of the M4 past reading.Given that they are so common. I gave up after a minute and was already up to 35.

35

I think I'll stick with me scoob

Not many companies give out Impreza's as company cars.

its alright for some. my other car is a pug 106 diesel.

I admit to being the previous owner of a couple of Bimmers so mustn't criticise.

Common as muck down here. Even porsches are more common...
Driving a BMW does tend to indicate a certain lack of imagination, or freedom to choose for oneself.
poor luvs.

Don't mean to hijack the thread... but was you around South Woodford area couple of weeks ago? Think I recognise your car... not many classics with carbon bonnet and CREAM interior around tbh
