I see so many on the way home from work..

But tonight a really nice if i remember rightly, it was a Blue Blobeye STI, flashed at me on the Harlsetone Road in Duston, just past the speed camera on the hill, past the Ford garage. Looked lovely. Just caught you as you flashed and stuck thumb up.

I also see a Blue Terzo Classic aswell everyday after work in Kingsthorpe, Driven by a woman, quite a pretty one too, haha!! Car looks nice also!!

Who was it??

Nicci

The (needing a polish) Terzo will be me.

What are you in as I only sometimes spot a Red new age and a black classic on my way home?

Bodgit

That would have been me

I hadnt driven my car for about 3 weeks so was driving it after having to jump start it. I had just come back from a 20 mile run through the villages around that area to "charge the battery"

I can't make the August meeting in Rushden, but I'll keep a track on the midlands thread and hope to look in on one in the future.

Nicci

I would love to be at the McRae bash, but had already arranged to go to a ladies lunch/car meet that day.

I can't make the SIDC meet either as I am spending the weekend at Brands Hatch.

I haven't spotted any local scoobs since this thread started

knobby_2000

In Northampton itself mate...

The main car I see is a blue classic with 17's and an old fella driving it, often through Moulton Park and a green wagon coming into the town on Harborough Rd by Whitehills pub.......

will_wrx

Ah right cool, i asked because, in Long Buckby, there is a really nice green wagon, thought it may have been yours!

Sorry if i sound nosey!

I saw a Blob eye Sti this morning, flashed and waved , not sure if it was the same person i spotted before though!

The red newage is me
I usually see you if I've got stuck at work
I often see a white STi new shape in the mornings, it actually doesn't look that bad in the flesh....

will_wrx

The white new shape STI, is John from Subaru Westaway in Spratton.

I hated the cars, now ive seen them in the flesh, i love them!

p1walding

i popped to westaways a few weeks ago and drove johns sti he'd just had haywood and scott exhaust fitted, it sounded ok drive was not to bad but no turbo kick . it was not to bad i would not trade my sti blob eye in for one and when i was chatting to him he was missing he's old black sti

will_wrx

That sucks .

His old black sti was lush.

I need to drive the new sti.

Is it nothing on the older imprezas?

SCOOBYJOHN12

so there are scoobs in northampton i go up to river side some times with mine as i work on there seen plenty when i leve work but nothing in the morning

For what it's worth I had a good drive round in the new STi a few weeks ago courtesy of Souls in Olney. Obviously you can't give it the beans with a sales rep looking on, but the ride and power delivery are what you might expect from a a car with the STI's heritage. The engine management controls are a bit too complicated for my liking, and it took us about 6 attempts to get the motor started with the security system trying to do it's job too well, but it's difficult not to like a car with around 300 BHP available. I wouldn't swop it for my blob.

knobby_2000

lol no probs....

Westaway Subaru in Spratton, I drive past there most days drooling!.....and often see the mechanics testing on that excellent Northampton Rd through the villages up to the A14 junction

Andy T

Have spotted one or two around

Nicci

The first time I spotted you, I thought you were someone else, as I could hardly see your face and you gave a little wave (as though I was weird for waving). You still have the only red one locally that I am aware of.

iTrader: (6)

I was thinking "Is that Nicci?" then remembered I should be waving

Andy T

Hey Nicci, how are you? not seen you for a while other than when I spot you around Sainsburys 6Fields, normally too far away to wave and be seen. Not going to pap me hooter either as it is obnoxiously loud and i get embarresed easily

p1walding

Neanderthal

iTrader: (6)

There's me waving like a loon tonight thinking "I'll show her, complaining about my lack luster waving" and you were sitting there looking in your rear view mirror (at the traffic lights near boughton green road)!

Nicci

Oh, I do remember sitting there thinking about the roadworks I was about to tackle down the road and looking behind me. So I must have been looking everywhere except right in front



p.s. hi to Andy (where have you been?)

Andy T

Been about mate, local meet seemed to dry up over the last year, a few of the old faces have dissappeared, not seen people for ages.

Am going over on Sunday thou.

shamrock

Anyone here own the bug eye with exhausts that exit underneath each door? I've seen it a few times on the A45, very unique.

think thats one of the cars i have seen at zens

(will wrx tried to PM you but your inbox is full just to give you my number)

will_wrx

Cleared out mate

Neanderthal

iTrader: (6)

Driven/owned by a former colleague(and a girl! )
She's thinking of changing the exhaust back to a rear exit cause it can be a right pain the backside over speed bumps etc.
