Title: The people Power of the FD
Post by: clive on July 16, 2007, 09:21:24 AM
Saturday afternoon  I followed a brand new 07 Subaru into the car park at B&Q in Gravesend to see two people taking pictures of a parked silver FD with C-West nosecone and another two people looking at it admiringly.

I found it amusing that I followed the new Subaru past the FD and not one person tuned and looked at the Subaru as they were much too interested in the FD !

In Sainsburys car park at Denton/Newhaven on Saturday - old boy in a Renault hatch back came across and cheerfully told me what a beautiful looking car I had.  An RX-8 owner was having a good look as I went back to my car.

Had a brief run with a newish open top SL merc - I didn\'t see the back of it so not sure exactly what model it was.  He tried to overtake me and didn\'t succeed ;)  but I didn\'t lose him either, a pretty even match.

Yes if it was a SL350, no if it was a SL600.  I\'m not much over stock power.

it is nice to see, i was parked round a friends at the weekend and there was about 6 kids around the car, i know they were only kids but there was a boxer and a SLK parked on the same street and when they walked off they didnt even bother with them, guess they had never seen a early RX7 before

some kid was in the back of his moms mpv and he was taking pics of me driving with his mobile... he must have had some good motion shots at that angle.
