172 Cup, Bournemouth

[rich_84]

Spotted a 172 Cup not far from Bournemouth today, at around 2pm (I think).

Also saw a Silver 172 with a girl with black hair driving near Bmth today too.

Anyone off of here?

Female driving the cup as well?

There is a blue cup that is always in one place in Bournemouth, but I'm not posting it as I don't want them to get itr nicked!! lol... last time I saw him he gave me a nod as I drove by

Haven't seen a silver 172 driven by a girl in the area though...

In term time I was seeing them near the Uni all the time.

I saw a blue Cup in Poole yesterday - perhaps the same?

 

[Davey182]

Darren, what colour is your Gti??

 

[darren_rallye]

Cherry red, but I've only had it a week, so you'd most likely have seen me in a white 106 Rallye S2, or before that a yellow 205 Rallye, or yellow 106 GTI

 

[Davey182]

what area of Bournemouth are you in? I'm around Queens Park/Charminster...

 

[darren_rallye]

I'm outside of Bournemouth, in the quaint village of Corfe Mullen

I work in Poole over the summer, and am around the Uni in term time

 

[Davey182]

Ah, I'm always heading out that way... my mrs lives in Blandford... I'll keep an eye out for you

 

[darren_rallye]

Over and out - good night.

PS - Bloody loads of Clios around Sandbanks too.

Pete - not sure who was driving the Cup. Just glimpsed it as I was heading off a roundabout.

Hi Ben,

Yeah of course I'd seen you - was just trying to minimise time looking away from the road lol

Where abouts do you live?

I'm in West Parley near Ferndown about 5 miles out of Bournemouth.

Nice to 'meet' you, and your proper cup was looking good too!

 

[Clio_007]

thanks mate..i live in lymington..i had just been to look at an elise near poole..can't decide whether to keep the cup or go for the lotus..cup is soooo good to drive still

 

[rich_84]

That must be a tough decision... - I, in the other hand do not have the funds to contemplate that sort of change, but very rarely find anything to dissapoint me in my 182 either, so am happy to stick with it!

What will help you make your mind up? Any idea?

Were you the blue 172 I saw then?

 

[Clio_007]

Rich-well i work abroad for about half the year so i claim tax back..so far it has'nt arrived though!!..if it comes through soon then i think i might go for the lotus

Darren-yep most probably was me if it was a 172 cup

 

[rich_84]

Well good luck with getting your tax back! Lotus is a totally different proposition from the Cup, and I bet it will be just as much fun if not more once you get used to it. Just a bit more money needed to run the thing I guess?

 

[Clio_007]

i've done some research and they are not too bad to run in terms of costs..i'm 6'4 though so backache would be the biggest problem probly mate lol

That's cool - I was expecting it to be an increase in running costs. I don't have the height problem, I'm 5'10 so can squish into anything! Haha Have you been for anymore test-drives?
