Spotters Thread For 8V Chassis

2 today! Both 3 doors, both in Blaby, Leicestershire.

One white on Sycamore St heading towards Hospital Ln.

And the other a mythos black in the Aldi car park - possibly with carbon mirror caps!?
 
Snap! black 3 door the same as mine on the A41 Chester Road, Great Sutton, Saturday night at at around 20.10
 
Saw a 65 plate S3 saloon in daytona grey with black pack & privacy glass

Must admit did look rather nice, even on a grey wet day :thumbs up:

Pretty much every day for the past few months on my way back from work I see a Sepang S3 Sportback who always flashes me - Chorley New road Bolton.

I had a Sepang S3 until last weekend, now upgraded to Catalunya Red RS3.

Black s3 saloon, private reg D** ***, in Kirkby lonsdale today
 
Sorry not an S3 but a Dalorean!! I had to share this with you all as you don't see this very often . My detailer 'Reflections Valeting' had this in for a clean up and took these photos. I managed to get a glimpse of this iconic car as it left

From Wikipedia.....The DMC-12 could achieve 0–60 miles per hour (0–97 km/h) in 8.8 seconds, when equipped with a manual transmission. When equipped with an automatic transmission, the DeLorean would accelerate from 0–60 miles per hour (0–97 km/h) in 10.5 seconds

Makes the humble A3 1.4 COD or 2.0TDI seem lightening quick and an S3 is in Star Trek warp speed territory

Just seen a 15 plate Sepang S3 saloon travelling very sedately in lane 1, northbound on the M6 between J13 and J14. Looked nice and clean but it's just started to rain.

Misano red S3, Bents Garden Centre carpark just off the A580.
Around 12:30 today.
 
Red S3 65 reg Beverley to Hull (A1079) followed it on my commute 3 times in a week now.
 
Always see the same RS3 parked up off the ring road in Watford, outside an office. He used to have an S3 and switched to the RS3 pretty much a month after it went on sale. Never fails to catch my eye.
 
Lancaster/Morecambe McDonald's just now..

Amazing occurace today driving through Hainault, Essex today 2pm.....


Turned onto main road behind a Nardo grey 8V RS3 (private plate) followed it for about a mile, with an Ibis White 8V A3 following me. RS3 turns off and 200 yards later I stop at a set of lights with a Daytona15 plate S3 waiting at the red light in front of me waiting to turn right.

Didn't get a chance to take a photo - but saw an "Extreme parked" S3 in the Basildon Sainsburys car park yesterday. Probably the furthest spot from the entrance, parked next to a bush and well away from the bay next to it.

I always wonder if someone will say "hey that was me!" on here...
