Northampton Ring Road
WAs it you??
R*** *AA in a red wagon, gold speedlines on the A45 Northampton ring road 12.30pm ish.
You passed me trying to pull out onto dual carriageway, I waved and you waved back! Caught you up and followed you up to Brackmills exit, where I pulled off. Nice sounding exhaust, especially when booting it into the outside lane coming off slip road near Brackmills!!

I thought it was perhaps you, I've seen pictures of your car before and I thought I saw a St. Andrews cross on the front? Know what you mean about waves, don't get many up here either!

Welcome to the area mate - you'll have fun. Just keep an eye out for the mobile (and static )camera units that proliferate our lovely county - especially on the bridge by Brackmills.
Cheers

Not me, mine is on an X plate, right kind of time for me to be about though.
Someone in a P1 passed me last week and waved, so hello to you if you're out there!
Pub sounds like a plan!

Oh look, I arrive just a pub meet is mentioned 
I drive a Silver MY97, reg - P555...
I wave to every Scooby Turbo, so far I've only had 2 waves back
one from a blue MY00 (see him quite a lot near Moulton) and the other was a Silver MY98 (in Kingsthorpe).

Who's got a favourite pub then?
There's the Navigation a Stoke Bruerne (although I believe they have a few piggy bank cameras along there now). Or my favourite is The Spencer Arms at Church Brampton.
Saying that though, if it serves a decent pint of JS Smooth I'll be happy any where

I know the Navigation well...dont know the Church Brampton place but sure it would not be beyond the wit of man to find it
Either would be good...only ever on the Diet Cokes anyway when driving
When would be good for everyone?

The Navigation gets quite full to as I remember? 
Spencer Arms does indeed get absolutely packed at the weekend, especially in the evenings, but it's car park does have CCTV.
There's also the Greyhound in Melton?
Come one someone else suggest a pub, it' beginning to look like I'm the only one who drinks (and mostly eats) here
How's about a Saturday or Sunday afternoon? I'm busy this weekend and the next Sunday is the SIDC AGM at Whilton Mill (anyone going?).
Will keep an eye out for you all. Got another wave tonight, light blue MY96-97. Bloke had a goatee beard.
Matt
P.S. Does any one of the Northamptonshire Massive know how to fit a back box? I'm getting a P1 BB soon, and I'm about as mechanically minded as a house brick

The only Impreza meet I've ever been to was in Northampton a couple of years ago and that was at the Britannia pub (which is on the Bedford Road as you drive out of Northampton). All I remember about it is that it's got a big car park - lol
I agree - the Spencer Arms does do great food but probably too chocka for us
I'm going to be "offline" for a few days but count me in for any meet you decide upon

I'm rural just outside Northampton towards Tiffield, Brittania is about 10 mins for me so no complaints there. What about the Greyhound in Milton Malsor? Good food and carpark! And also JS Smooth I believe...

I don`t mind any of the pubs mentioned, the brit has got a large car park. Don`t mind Sat or Sun afternoon. NOt this weekend though.
Maybe we could make it the weekend after the AGM at Whilton.
Saw a Black scooby with Gold wheels on my way to work this morning, i waved but surprise surprise no wave back.

I believe that the Greyhound, Spencer Arms & the Britannia are all run by the same brewery so any of these would do decent food
My vote gets the Greyhound
Hows about Sat 27th October? or the Sunday?

I too have never been spotted. I quite often see other scooby drivers and wave, often get waved at back but nothing has ever been posted. I'm from Towcester and have recently waved at a P1 (heading into to Towcester on A5) and a green wagon with gold alloys (last night) both waved back but nothing posted.
