Out house hunting today spotted Blue WRX (MY01) with Gold wheels plus red WRX (old shape) both northbound A350 nr Chippenham. Also DBM old shape turbo in it's drive in Heddington

(Wife looking out for houses, me looking out for other scoobs )

Also saw a P1 in Rowde a couple of days ago too. If we (by "we" I mean my wife) weren't house hunting I'd be in one of those too

I'm at Lyneham at the moment; there's a UK300 here (along with 3 red scoobs (incl mine), 1 DBM and 3 Green). Looking to buy around Colerne area probably but keeping our options open.

Okay, my bimbling round Wilshire has added a few more to the list:

Devizes today, ******* Road, Green 5 dr + gold alloys parked up by the kerb with a Cool grey WRX/Sti 5 or 6 in the drive nearby.

Blue 99/00 turbo at Boscombe Down (RAF/QinetiQ)

MY01 with the full Scoobysport treatment: Simpsons Subaru, last Friday (I think). Funny that: fancy seeing a Subaru at a Subaru garage.....

And, of course, Pickle's P1.

I really must get out more. Or less. Hmmmm.

EDIT by moderator.
Removed reference to road...

If it was a couple of weeks ago, the DBM MY00 at Boscombe Down would have been me.

Yep I've seen a P1. Always wave but he never waves back, so I don't bother now. (Usually in the Greenmeadow\Woodhall Park area)

Yup, the BD scoob was about 2 weeks ago; spotted a silver 5 door 99/00 there today though.

The MY00 (DBM) with the STi5 spoiler and HKS exhaust nr Swindon was probably Mark Bryan's (markab on here). Very nice car, 18's, Link, defis etc; gave me a ride just before he sold it (I think it's gone now anyway). "Whoosh" will be the word I shall use to describe that particular experience

There's also a white 5 dr old shape that I often see at about 7.45 - 8am every morning just near Avebury going North.

PS. if you spot a p*ss*d off looking bloke in a 2.0 GLX 5 dr red mica MY01 on the A345 of a morning, that's me. My car's in getting the front end resprayed (stone chips + warranty = hooray!) at the moment.
The GLX is just horribly gutless

Live in Swindon, work in Newbury (I've got a Uk PD STi). Often see a blue MY00 turbo and new WRX on the way through Aldbourne, and often see a UK300 on the B4000 (if I go the other way to work) but they never wave .

MattW - I'll start waving at bug eyes again as you've renewed my faith. I'm not the P1 that doesn;t wave back. There are a few in the Swindon area.

Silver 5 dr sport 99/00 parked in a drive in Winterbourne Bassett.
A white 97/98 (I think) 4 dr Turbo coming out of ******* (?) in Wootton Bassett yesterday evening.

Is it me or are there more P1's in the West Country than anywhere else on the planet?? I've seen around half a dozen of the so-called 'rare' beasts in and around the area!!
Not complaining tho' means I'm not the only one loving them rather than the EVO'S!!!
