Haha...Thanks it was looking rather clean until the misses curbed the Alloy coming out of blindley place this evening due to road works wasn't her fault in all fairness as it was just too ****** narrow...Its only just done 500 Miles from new aswell! FML
Already booked in for a refurb so happy days...

Ouch! Surprised I haven't had a touch yet as I never had the best track record with my set of aftermarkets last year.
Looked menacing black with the black rails, first time I've seen that combo I think
 
Hello to the very dark blue 14 plate S3 3dr northbound on the M3 @ 0810 this morning near the Twyford Cutting. Always a pleasure to see another 3dr!!!
 
Spotted a black S3 with private plate (I was in the black S3 PFL SB), on the M8/M77 Glasgow stuck in rush hour traffic yesterday. I noticed the Revo sticker on the side, assuming it's been mapped, it would be good to hear how your finding it, think I will be booking in for Revo stage 1 next week.

There was also a blue S3 on the same journey but looked like a sensible female driver, if not 'Hi' to you as well.

Sepang Blue ( I think ) pre-facelift S3 saloon heading down the M27 towards J3 yesterday. Hola!
 
FL S3 Saloon in Daytona in Olton, Solihull around lunchtime today with a personal plate on.
 
Bizarre coincidence as none of the two of us live near here but 99% (if not 100%) that I saw you in Crieff Main Street on Sunday @BigBill . It was the Navarra S3 Saloon with red callipers and Oban number plate that caught my eye. Around early afternoon?

Also in the same car park as us was a red S3 Saloon with DIY red callipers

Hi AB
Yes that was me travelling home from visiting my girlfriend who stays in Montrose. A bit of a long journey but always a pleasure in the S3 with the section between Crieff and Lochearnhead being one of several of the more 'interesting' parts of the trip.

I never noticed you or I would have given you a wave.

Small world eh lol!
You wouldn't have seen me as I wasn't in the car (we took the wifes TT anyway) - as usual I used the dug as an excuse to stand outside a shop (Gordon & Durward, the amazing sweet shop) while Mrs AB was inside.
Yeah some of those bends are tight in between some faster bits.
We were staying in St Fillans for a couple of nights.
Wish I'd seen you before you'd passed mate.

PS. my parents are in Oban right now too!

Saw a PFL Floret Silver SB S3 round Crawley area today. Pulled over outside the Dukes Head Pub for those in the know. I do believe it was an unmarked police mobile as well. 15 plate but I didn't catch it all.

I have a part number for the coloured plate in red if you'd be interested. £80 for the pair roughly.

Ara Blue S3 Sportback Northbound M6 heading up to Kendle way from Preston. Tailed me and my mates in a Mk7.5 Golf GTI, Stage 2 Polo GT, and Abarth 500. Shame you didn't turn off with us and follow us through the lakes. It was our monthly 'Kirkstone pass' trip and 'the struggle' had a serious blast and a few brown pants moments :D

Sure theirs someone on here with a Ara Blue S3 from Kendle?
