Today I really surprised when I saw an My04 blue Sti in Bugibba. What makes it more unusual is the fact that its UK registered.

 

snap my 04 wrx comes from malta and is also uk registered

 

arent most of the cars in malta from here and japan ??

hope he watched out for the potholes!!!

 

Spotted this STi whist waiting for the Comino hotel boat to pick us up.

Quality number plate. But then you see loads of three letter words on Malta & Gozo.





They don't go in for detailing much over there.



Back there again in September for some more of this :-

Ahh Bujibba

 

I can hardly believe this, I just saw another STi from the UK. A different street but still in Bugibba. This time it was a 53 plate. with a London prefix.

I wonder how much it would cost to take a car all the way from the UK to Malta, does anybody know? My family is from there, and they keep asking me to come and stay. If I did, I couldn't go without my car.

 

I spotted 2 when I was in St Julians 2 weeks ago. One was red and one was similar to the above

 

I've seen about half a dozen so far, but only two had UK reg plates.

I hired a car to get around the Island to show my girlfriend all the places I used to go when I lived there as a kid.
This stupid little car (Getz) can't even get up a hill with four people in it. I have to go up the hill with the two lightest passengers in first gear, then go back for the other one. Next time I'm not hiring an economy model, it's too embarrassing.

 

whats the weather like just waiting for the flight over going to ST Pauls bay for a week

The weather's absolutely fantastic right now. It's about 30c now and getting warmer day by day. There's usually a good breeze though, to take the edge of the heat.
St Paul's bay is where a lot of Maltese people have their holiday home. My aunt/uncle live there during the summer. There's not much there for the tourist though. It's also where I had my first alcoholic drink in a bar. When I was 12 my dad bought me a bottle of beer in "Johnny's bar". That was in 1971 and the bar is exactly the same now as it was then. Only the prices have changed.
Bugibba is only a 10 minute walk away. Much more tourist friendly, but watch out for the timeshare touts in the mornings.
let me know if you want any tips on what to see, where to go etc.
I'm going to Santa Venera till Monday, then taking the 06:30 flight home. I wish I could stay longer.

 

I'm in the Suncreast Hotel next to the Qawra Palace Hotel

got a hire car a chevy, pile of dogs gear stick like a spoon in custard
off to Melliaha today, Gozo monday & tuesday Vallettia

Met with a Kaz & Dave(SIDC) yesterday they got married here last week

So you're in the Bugibba/Qawra area.
Don't take the car to Valletta, as you'll have to park outside the city. Take the bus. I think the bus numbers to get there are 58, 59, 159. It's only half a Euro (€0.54c) each way, and the buses are every 10 mins.
If you're going to Gozo, you should also think about a trip to the blue lagoon on Comino.
I'm not very keen on Melleiha (Għadira) bay. I much prefer Għajn Tuffieha. (Għajn is pronounced like the girls name Ann).
Since you have a car, don't be afraid to come off the main (potholed) roads and venture onto the dirt tracks in the west. Some of them can take you to stunning scenery, and deserted coves and small beaches that even many locals don't know about.

 

I forgot to say, in Melieha, they tried to charge us €12 to hire two sunbeds and parasol. I managed to knock that down to €5

 

in middle of both

Went there today and gheijna (sp) bay aswell visited Qwarr and popeyes film set .....what roads LOL

Tony

 

If you were heading down the west coast, did you have a look at the Dingli cliffs?

I'm back home now. I left Malta with 31°C and glorious sunshine, to come back to cloudy, damp miserable weather at only 15°C.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

 

I stayed in the Suncrest while they were building it.... and yes literally they were still building it..lol

Also stayed in the Sunny Coast down the road...

last time I was there... there was a huge outbreak of some nasty virus in the Qawra Palace..

 

Moved out of Suncreast now in San atonio bay by the Casino

seen some wicked
number plates EVO 360 VICKI MICKY, DAVE, 3 seems like you can hav whatever you want shame it's so ****e here in UK

Tony

 

Yeah, I saw a Ferrari with the reg "JG", probably the owner's initials.
...and another, a tarted up Chav mobile with just the letter "X" for a reg plate. How cool is that.
There are also a lot of old 60's and 70's cars in near perfect condition used as daily runners.

 

got a picture of a Vauhall Victor what a shed

 

...and I took a picture of a mk2 Cortina, in concourse condition.
At the other end of the scale, I also saw a Humber Sceptre which looked like it had been used as a chicken coup.

 

Did you go to the classic car museum in "Tourist street" Qawra?

 

No but i did go to a Scrap yard....... only to find out it was a Carpark

music week here in Malta went last night MTV show in Valleta with One Repubic and some Englaise chap women seemed to like

Last day Fiday
