A friend of mine just messaged me this picture. He is doing some work on a road which is literally a 5 minute walk from my house, so assumed it was mine. Had to tell him it wasn't (he hadn't spotted the baby seat).

I'm pretty shocked....there's only 400 in the country and one of them has ended up parked up only a couple of roads from where I live. Anyone on here?

Thinking about it... @cakper, was it you?
I know you're fairly local, but for some reason I had it in my head that you hadn't gone for electric blue. But I did notice your thread about the booster seat the other day :D
 
Do you live on the road in question (I know which road but wont mention publicly) or were you just visiting?
If the former, then yeah. I'm also surprised, as I quite often walk the dog around that way in the evenings.
 
Looks like I need to start paying more attention while walking my dog too, lol :)
 
I think there is a 4th person lurking about in the area.

Overtook someone in a trueno blue 86 up blue bell hill at weekend whilst putting some miles in on my one 😁

Oh and you both have the same colour, that's awkward... that's like going to a party and you're both wearing the same dress.

It's already confused my next door neighbour. I drove out of my road the other day as he was coming in, we waved at each other. He later told me that at the time, he was coming home from the town centre where he'd seen an electric blue (presumably @cakper) parked in the same car park, and assumed it was me, knowing how rare the cars are. So had to do a double take when he then passed me in our road 5 minutes later.

I should have kept quiet, said it was me in the town centre as well, and that these cars really are that fast...
 
To make it even less exclusive, I know a guy that lives nearby that has a yellow GT86, seen a couple of times a red GT86 parked 10 min drive from us, and see 2 white ones from time to time in the area as well. Common as muck these 86s!

Was it on Friday? :)
 
Up until last August last year, one of the white ones you saw might have been me. There was also one I used to see parked on a drive in Cliffe Woods, not sure if it's still there. I've not seen a yellow but I have seen the red one a few times.

I've got a feeling that it was the week before last, but it might well have been - my weeks tend to blur into one at the moment :D
 
Just passed you @cakper, you were waiting at the width restriction at the top of the hill on the way into town, and I came the other way in a Kia Sorento.

I realised how bright our cars headlights were, caught them at the wrong angle as we coming up toward you, my girlfriend said "wtf car is that with such stupid bright headlights?"....then realised it was a blue GR86 and for a fleeting moment I thought someone had stolen my car until I remembered you were local :D

Haha, this is amazing :D I wonder how long until we actually pass each other :)
