E89 - Spotted!

Post by DinosaurEyes » Sun Apr 10, 2016 11:18 am

Spotted another Grey E89 in what also looked like Space Grey in Dean Village coming out of Sunbury Street, yesterday afternoon. Will keep my eye out for it. I might have a twin!

You were on Rodney Street, stopped in traffic and we appeared from your left in a gun metal Range Rover Sport and you reversed to let us out but the traffic coming up meant we couldn't get out.

We did thank you for it. I did wave a bit too frantically but realised you wouldn't know it was me. If I hadn't been going to the back of beyond I'd of been in the Zed.

Mike was trying to see if he recognised you from the office.
Ah yeh! Gotcha!
:lol: love it. To think a couple of hours later and it was glorious weather too.

Sometimes where the Yaris is on the right there is a silver E89 35i parked up. The clearly moves about but I've only seen it out driving once.

Just drove past a silver 35i over on Coltbridge Terrace. Starting to see them everywhere now!

For a non local you seem to do well in remembering street names.

You must be fairly racking up the miles on the car, you seem to get about. I assume you walk to work like most guys who live in town and work at your office?

Yeh, I walk in, only 10 min walk for me. We are looking for a place to buy though so have been driving all over the place investigating areas.

Same for Mike. Although he does have a parking space which if we move may come in handy.

Ah, that explains it. Good luck with your search on that front.

Other than a local vet who has a Blue E89, I saw my first one today since well before Christmas.

Since getting ours 2 1/2 years ago and not seeing any in our area before we got it they are springing up all over the place now.
Theres a white one round the corner as well as another white one 1 mile away and have seen a black one a street away from that.
A black one parks at my wifes work, a red one visits my work occasionally.
I pass a grey one most mornings on the way to work and all of this is in an 8 mile radius.
