General Barchetta's seen out and about.

[Zem]

Blue old-style with private reg T1 BAR roaming round the Crawley area - seen twice over the last few weeks.

That would be me, if it wasn’t a T plate, all other details correct, have been “roaming round” the area for years.

I won't mention the Silver facelift model who ignored me completely

Please don’t say that was you :bang: …although to counter that I must commend you on concentrating on the road ahead.

A-Ha! Didn't see you but you may well have seen me!

I generally travel the Horsham-Crawley road a couple of times a week commuting as I do from Crawley to the IoW. Usually go up Tuesday am around 9ish and back Thursday pm around 4ish. Tues/Weds eves you'll find me pottering around Crawley/Horsham/Pease Pottage living off takeaways.


Will keep the eyes peeled in future!

Explain the 'road ahead' comment?

Explain the 'road ahead' comment?

er... the look straight ahead at the road, no matter that there is a nutter in a blue barchetta to the left of me... or something like that

 

[B-vectis]

Ah! Explains why I never saw you I guess...

Will keep my eyes peeled in future especially on that road

I saw a green LE coming off the M62 motorway at at Warrington the other week - i was in my works van , but managed a brief chat at traffic lights

Anyone here in Holland Park? Did a double take when I saw a blue B with almost the same reg as mine parked in Holland Villas Road.

Black Barchetta in Midhurst on Sunday evening about 8-ish coming back from the Goodwood FOS?

Once again the only time I see another B and mine was in the car park while I walked down the hight street to get a curry!!

Saw a red B at the A1M J10 roundabout at Baldock last Friday, my first one since getting mine when I was actually IN mine I was at the traffic lights and it was just coming onto the roundabout. I waved and the passenger waved back but looked a bit confused. I'm thinking maybe he wasn't a Barchetta owner himself and didn't understand the significance of the event!

Did the red B belong to anyone we know?

Spotted a silver facelift model (with chrome luggage rack on the boot) on the A44 just west of Worcester yesterday afternoon. It was being loaded onto (or had just been unloaded off?) a covered truck - not a low-loader either, but a normal-height jobbie. It looked like a very risky exercise, as they were using a makeshift ramp consisting of two planks to load/unload the car, at an angle of around 45 degrees!

The guys hanging around the car didn't see me pass - not surprisingly they were concentrating on the task in hand!

I just went up my local shop when I went passed the yellow Barchetta that lives just up the road from me in Biggleswade. The drivers side front wing was all smashed in. Another one off the road.

 

[LittleRedB]

Green one spotted coming off the A329M in Wokingham, despite much light flashing and waving on my part the other B passed with a bemused look on the other drivers face - typical, the first time I sight another B when I am actually driving mine and I get blanked.............I don't think she realised what a momentous occasion had just happened!

 

[KC3]

I,m yet to have seen another B driver on the road,

Only had her since May though. Hopefully soon,

 

[KC3]

saw another B today, driving up the finchley high road N20. around 5.30-6.00

It was a blue one. Was this you.?


i was in my van though. so you wouldnt have noticed me.

 

[LittleRedB]

Passed a Yellow mk 2 on the A283 near Petworth,,,,,,,,,,,nice looking car but your roof was up!!!!!

 

[TDMB]

I saw a silver B in central Milton Keynes last Wednesday morning (11th). Still hoping to find another one that lives here!

 

[DJ Overdose]

Saw a blue one on NCR around Ealing (again!). Beeped and waved, but got a confused look back. I was in a Punto tho...

Also while in Sicily last week saw a black recent model in town of Casteltermini. Needless to say, the owner didn't wave... :-(. Was in a hired Peugeot 107 (Worst car ever...) tho...

Took a picture with my phone.

Hi had mine two years (almost) and yet to see another on the road in the North East, but I keep looking. Taking it to France in September so I'll keep a look out for other discerning drivers.

Drove from Binfield to Perpignan in the South of France via Paris (about 850 miles) and only clocked 2 'B's' - a black Italian registered LE on the M25 near the A3 junction then none until Perpignan where I spied an exact replica of mine - Bright red...........made me realise that while the aircon in the wife's Citroen bus thing was a godsend I was already missing my B.
