I Saw You Today At ......

Saw my first one on the road today about ten minutes ago. 'Twas a silver one with the plate SO53??? I believe. Was it you driving along Broughton road, Edinburgh, in dire need of a good wash?*

*Edit: should make it clear that it was the car that needed a wash, not the owner, although they might have done, I just couldn't smell from that distance.

That must be the first 'official' sighting in Edinburgh I've heard of.

Saw my third today...

Titan without strakes coming around the M25 J18/J19 Clockwise...

Couldn't resist moving alongside and having a wave

Then the two of us were alongside each other on the M1, what a fierce sight that must have been in the mirrors of the cars in front...

The coolest bit was seeing the double takes, for vel and then again for titan!!! Just like buses

well ive seen two in within 15 minutes of each other.

1 on the M1 this evening around 7pm A Red heading south came off at junction 5 same as me. Two of us alongside each other and he didnt even notice me.

the other one i saw was another Red southbound between junction 5 (Welyn) and 4 (Hatfield North). Reg was OU53 i think. Did acknowledge each other with a few flashes of the headlights.

BAH !!! up until i havent seen any except for fellow comittee members. Felt exclusive now the novelty is going

Still love the car and the car loves my wallet/plastic

My 8 spotting is not helped by the fact that there are two other ones in the Company car park everday.

Thanks to crabacle and some other bloke with a Tit.

Nope, still not seen one on the road yet.
I don't know how many my dealer has sold, but they had 4 in (1 ready to pick up and 3 pre-PDI) the day I ordered my car.

I certainly did, I even waved at you a couple of times, first of all about a couple of miles back when you passed me on the inside

and then when we were on the exit ramp, though I couldn't really see you as you were slightly behind me.

You're the first one I've seen too. I must say, Titanium looks pretty good at night.

Not seen any so far which is nice as I tend to go off the cars if they become too common (ie TTC).

Chris - Tit grey looks good anytime

although I think your red will come into its own in the summer (although too bright for me).

I think Chameleon Red would be a better name. I honestly don't know what it is going to look like from one day to the next - it can change so much due to quite subtle differences in light. I've seen it in this low Winter sun, but I think it will be quite different in the Summer.

ahh it was you Chris,

I was having a bad day that day felt in a floor it mood

If you came of at junction 5 you must have been heading for Watford/Bushey where abouts?

was it milcars st albans you had the misfortune to buy the car from ? who was your salesman ? Steve Lane perhaps?

I'm in North Watford, and yes I got my car from Milcars St Albans, but not Steve Lane. No bad experiences from them, except the total lack of communication during the long pre-order wait, but that seems to be par for the course. I take it you've had some problems with them then?

Followed a Sunlight Silver from Anniesland Cross, Glasgow all the way to the Kingston Bridge this morning at around 07:50.

Anyone on here?

hammered · Post by **hammered** » Mon Dec 15, 2003 1:01 pm

Not seen either of the two cars since my original posting. Not seen any others to that fact, which means that's good for me

So far only one other seen in Southend (other than ploz's at the showroom, does'nt count really) and a nice bright yellow on the front of a transporter. Actually not that bright a yellow but assume it was in it's delivery livery. (try saying that quickly)

No not really but as you say the total lack of information doesnt help. Looks like you only a couple of miles from me as im in North Bushey, one of those roads which runs parallel with Stevenson Way.

Spotted my first 8 in the wild late Monday afternoon. Tit grey in Hemel Hempstead town centre (too dark/far away to catch the reg.)

rael · Post by **rael** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 3:09 pm

Still not seen any since my delivery. Long may it continue.

Saw my first (Tit Grey) whilst cycling in to work this morning. Not sure whether he noticed the idiot grinning and waving in his rear view mirror though.

silver_machine - Probably me.... Hemel is my stomping ground and I have not seen another locally yet.

Was it you? Around 9am, heading North through Stockwell. Silver without strakes.

No strakes, can't be a member. Think Mr Morgan is a tit
