themanwithnoname Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I was the guy in the other black Foz STI through Carrington! I've had my car less than a week and until mine had never seen another black one other than 'The Hearse' down south. What are the chances? Either way, if you're local how on earth have I never seen you about before?! 2
stants Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Haha it's always the way mate, you on UK foz ? A couple near me fsti's kicking around but few and far between. Still trying to work out who the black one with gold bbs's is driven by a lady in leeds,
themanwithnoname Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 I am! different username over there (ferkle). Wierd how you never see some things about until you're looking for them, but I know that I'd have noticed something like an FSTI as its so unusual to see one.
themanwithnoname Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Haha! Up until 3 weeks ago I was encyclopedic on every Forester for sale in the UK! The Hearse made the shortlist/wishlist, but fell off as I needed PX
Rick 2014 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Ive got a black forester not an STI though.As far as im aware there is only 3 black fozzys in the mk1 in Manchester and im one of them
stants Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Popped onto uk foz today, not as busy as here but still a wealth of knowledge,
themanwithnoname Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Hey Rick, this was definitely a Black SG9 STi same as mine, but good to see some more local owners about the place! Stants, I had a look over there myself - no post counts for days in some places! Though my usual haunt is Pistonheads, which moves very fast due to sheer numbers I guess. Not sure if this is good or bad juju but there are a couple of all makes/tends to be a bit exotic meets over the next couple of weeks - 1st June (Monday night) just off Guinness Road in Trafford Park (3 minutes from Trafford Centre/Krispy Kreme!) 8-10pm and the following Sunday at GT Cars who are primarily an italians specialist (The owner has a gorgeous yellow F40 that is tuned, does VMAX days and gets driven hard) in Appleton Thorn near Warrington. We get all sorts at both, I've been in a diesel 1 series and a Civic Type R, and mates Isuzu Trooper and an R33 GTR. Will be the Foz for the foreseeable future now! Though we see everything from shopping carts to hypercars there. Again if its not bad juju, I'll gladly post a couple of links.
themanwithnoname Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 And the mystery is solved. My doppelganger just appeared on eBay for sale. I've pinged a quick message over to say hello and offering a parting Suba-brew before he sells up. 1
themanwithnoname Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 If I didn't have one already, I'd be on this like something very sticky on something that attracts sticky stuff... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Forester-STI-Litchfield-330bhp-/321762337251?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4aea87a1e3 Just for reference it goes just as well as mine, as there was a little bit of blattage!
themanwithnoname Posted May 29, 2015 Author Posted May 29, 2015 Just to add, the current owner seems a top chap, he's going to see what he can do about coming up to the meet on Monday.
david1972 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Saw that listed the other day....mmmm [emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
I_MNL Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Wow this is a spot! I'll keep both my eyes and my cars' eyes (!) well open to look for you 2 black Forrester STIs in Manchester area! :)
themanwithnoname Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Like it! I've posted up on the events section, but I'll be out at GT Cars in Appleton Thorn near Warrington for breakfast on Sunday for a meet. Otherwise its my daily so I'm around the M60 at the usual times, making noise and looking happy. I don't often see any not Imprezas err WRX STi about, I'll keep an eye out as well. 1

It's because I don't use the STi for work...yet... It goes out on weekends for the time being, until winter comes! Usually I take the ... :o other car...so
