Default Leamington Spa scoobies

As I am back in the centre of town again now, I spotted a few whilst waiting to be allowed into the new office earlier...

At about 8:15am...

Blue 2 door Type R classic I think - gold wheels, loud exhaust, heading away from the centre, I think - sounded very nice

Silver classic wagon, stickered up, about an N reg? Blonde driving it

Blue WRX bugeye wagon - works about 200 yards from my offices

Dark blue bugeye saloon heading down towards the fire-station.

In this lovely sunny weather, I was miffed not to be in mine, but the "tractor" is currently doing approx 49mpg, so not that miffed!

I shall be doing my best to "spot you" stealth scoobs of the Warwickshire area, so we don't get so depressed

<cough> I'll mostly be driving an R reg blue Rover diesel, reference the 250 miles per week I do to work and back... but occasionally, if I'm bored, you may see me in a green classic turbo saloon, with the obligatory gold wheels.

I've worked in and around Leam Spa for about 8 years now, and have just moved offices so we're back in town, not far from the fire station. Can't afford to live there though!

Can confirm the "Mincing" RB5 lives in that area (I know exactly where but I'm not telling !! ) and that it has a dump valve fitted as it went past me in the Mrs's car.

Has the stickered silver classic wagon got yellow stickers ??

If so it works around Heathcote along with a import white classic.

A silver 54 plate wrx saloon parked near me in the town today with a DU 54 reg I think.

Also saw a Blue newage STI turning up the Kenilworth Rd at 4.30pm ish with a silver/white sticker in the rear side window.

I have to go to both of them quite often so you may see me.

Further up the road from there (towards the island) there is a WR blue 54 plate WRX with skirts, front spoiler and rear lower bumper added. It is always parked around there.

Yep - seen that already - nice car

Spotted a silver classic saloon today too, with loud exhaust, heading along Warwick Rd towards Southam direction. And a dark blue bugeye wagon too.

Common as muck these Scoobies!
