Thumbs up

Hi,
STi7(UK) Prodrive, Blue, awaiting my PPP from Walldonway - I'm Number 1 on the list Eat yer M3s for Breakfast then!! If you drive the Lind Parts van from time to time, I may have seen you round Egerton a couple of times, as I've seen the van there coupla months ago..... from my Horse!

'Fraid I had a sniffy-salesman experience at Linds when I went to look at a 328 Coupe, which is why I ended up with (originally) a Red 5-door Impreza. Mind you, I could live with a Z4 if I had to! Very remeniscent of the Austin Healey 3000 from the side!

So if you see a blue STi 7 on the A 274, gissa wave - I'll try to be quick enough to work out who it is!!

Cheers

Phil

Hi JGM!! Yeah, pretty sure I've seen you! Does your "missus" (several assumptions there!!) ever drive the car in the Larkfield Area??

Phil, think I saw you this morning, a blue bug eye turbo was just going up towards the A274, where the road splits from Upper Stone street (?), right up the top. Right at the pub goes Hastings A229, left goes A274. Bloke driving with a peachy coloured shirt on? Was it you?

Thumbs down

Alas, Rich, peachy shirts don't feature in my wardrobe

No, t'weren't me - if it had been yesterday, then it might well have been! Haven't seen another blue STiUK actually in Maidstone: there's one near Goudhurst, but doubtless there are one or two more fairly local. I think Walldonways sold between 14 and 18 in total (both colours and designs).

Cheers

Phil

OK, saw another one just before the A274 / A229 bit, again it was blue, personalised plate ending in GPR I think, Morrette headlamps (?) and massive rear wing, this was Thursday or Friday ( I have a crap memory ) at about 12pm. It was probably the best looking bug eye I've seen, bloke had glasses on I *think*.
