Seen a nice black one opposite golders green crematorium. Not sure what that means lol
 
Dark blue metallic 54 reg on the M23 Northbound near Gatwick this morning.

Flashed him, no response. Overtook him, slipped in front, hazards on, no response. Oh well! :bang:
 
Well I have a regular weekly commute from the IoW to Crawley (Monday/Thursday) via A3M/A217/A264, then every now and then I get to go up to Chester for a week - A34/M40/M5/M6/M56/A55

So keep your eyes peeled!
 
Winford, near Newchurch.

I'm always out and about, especially on sunny days! :yum:
 
I visit Bembridge I think, or close to there. I'll nod and flash and jump up and down if I see you.

Mines Red! I am still talking about my car in case anyone thinks other wise.

Hay all

My Fiat B is back on the road after a long winter and I am loving her again, advertised her for sale just in case I did not like her, but hay I will only sell her now if I get a good price.

Good to be back on the road with her..... So if you see a RED B with FAZ as the number plate give me a honk? beep beeep I mean.

:D
 
You cant sell your Barchetta m8 ! Once it’s gone you will find it real hard to find a mint B again if you change your mind.

As we all know parts for B’s are expensive, so more and more are being striped and not put back on the road, over the next few years you will see less and less until you will struggle to find one at all, let alone one in anything like mint condition.

If you crash a B over 10-15 MPH it will in most scenarios be bad news, followed by you buying it back from the insurance company and braking it for parts.

Because of this, in 5-8 years you will kick yourself when the price of a good B has gone up because you will not be able to get your hands on one, let alone a mint one.

The Barchetta is a classic in the making thanks to its low build numbers and timeless looks, but at the moment you can pick up a lot of B for the money, this will not last as the number of units drop thanks to some not so hot driving.

Lovely yellow number, old style, in Arreton, Isle of Wight this glorious sunny morning. Unfortunately it was parked up with no owner in sight, so no exchanges of gestures.
 
I was out on Monday 10th July around 7:00pm (ish) when I went past a parked Silver Barchetta in Biggleswage Bedfordshire. I have never seen this B around before, and as it was parked I did not get to wave and say hi to its owner.

Was this you ?

Saw a yellow m-registered b parked up at Lathkill Dale in the Peak District the other Sunday. No-one with it to say hi, but if the owners saw me disappearing up the road in my yellow b they probably panicked thinking someone had nicked their car. Lathkill Dale is fairly remote as was the chance of two yellow b's in the same place.Oh well!!:eek:
 
Was staying in a hotel in Haslingden (nr Manchester) last night and parked my orange B in the car park. Checked in and got a drink. Couple of hours later went outside for a fag only to be faced with my car in a completely different space from where I had parked it. :eek:

On closer inspection found that someone else in the hotel was also driving an orange B! :D

Finally tracked them down and said hi.

I've only ever seen 2 other B's on the road and never an orange one. The other driver had never seen another orange one either.
 
Did a couple of miles behind a silver S-reg with some nice burgundy leather around Northwich yesterday. Gave a way as I went past!

A blue Barchetta seen in Welwyn Garden City last week 10-14th July 2006with two people both with baseball caps on. I was in my work car so I did not flash or wave as I would have just looked like a nutter in a black VW hheheh :)

Hi
I was down in Wooburn Green West of London visiting my mother, when out walking I passed a Yellow N reg I think it was with chrome bars parked in a driveway just off the green. It must be 5 mins walk from my Mothers house and I have never seen it out and about before.

If this is your car, a big hello.
