Spotted!

Thumper · **October 19, 2008, 04:25:14**

There I was, sitting at the lights on Ginninderra Drive in Belconnen (Canberra) when I look to my right and notice a dark grey hatch with some nice mags on it driving through the lights in front of me. Thinking that it looks rather good, amongst the normal Falcodore brigade.

Only when the driver tooted the horn then I realised it was EymaTeapot's i30.

Gave a friendly wave back once I snapped out of my own little world. (Long day at work, was on my way home, music playing away)

Who has spotted another member on this forum driving about in the wild?

I was on my way to work the other day .......and saw an i30 in my local area which i believe belonged to bez10y. If you drive a silver i30 .... it was him/her

Im not a stalker i promise.... everytime i see an i30 i cant help but stare.... im obsessed.

I have seen a blue one around my area a few times now and I've seen a white one (maybe yours Diva?). Yesterday we drove to Narabeen for a swim and I saw 2 silver ones, a dark gray one and a blue one. Every time I pointed them out my wife would shake her head hehehe. I even tooted the guy in the dark gray one as I drove past him while he was turning.

I'm the same as you Diva, I see one and just have to look

Diva · **Reply #8: October 20, 2008, 01:35:54**

Yep.. That was me .
Wife was driving, its her car apparantley

We were on our way to the Cotter Dam for a BBQ with freinds. (locals will know the spot)
When we got there, among the 20 or so cars in the parking lot was a moonlight blue SLX with roof racks. I have seen the same car getting around the Belconnen area a bit lately. I wonder If it belongs to a felloew member?

camerooney · **Reply #10: October 21, 2008, 22:03:43**

I've seen a few i30's around Nowra.
There is a beautiful white SR, which I might have already mentioned in another thread.

Saw a black one with nice rims too.

Spotted a Steel Grey SX near Rookwood Cemetery (Centenary Drive) on Friday afternoon about 3:45pm heading North. Looked fairly new though I didn't get to spy the plates. The driver was female though so I didn't want to smile and wave in case she thought I was a crazy freak and not a nice freak

EymaTeapot · **Reply #12: October 25, 2008, 00:06:36**

Were you driving the i30 or riding your toasted sandwitch press at the time?

ozsnowman · **Reply #13: October 25, 2008, 13:14:16**

If you want a town with I30's go to Byron bay - gawd I saw at least a dozen of them the day I was there!!

There's starting to be a few around the roads of Bendigo (Victoria) now, I've seen most of the colours now

I was in my i30. I only "ride" my toaster during periods of extreme drunkedness

redi30 · **Reply #15: October 26, 2008, 11:07:57**

Was driving up Mt Dandenong today, looked in the mirror and a couple of cars behind me was another red SLX following.....got all excited for a minute.

LuciferDarklord · **Reply #16: October 26, 2008, 11:39:30**

I've seen heaps on the road now. Overtook one on Great Northern Highway a week or so ago, last weekend there was a steel grey SLX identical to mine (didnt see if it was manual or auto) parked in the Bindoon Bakery, saw a blue SLX in the Bindoon Bakery today. There is another blue i30 I always pass in the opposite direction on Gt Northern Hwy in the mornings and arvos. Perth seems to be swimming in i30's lately.

EymaTeapot · **Reply #20: October 28, 2008, 11:29:00**

Hi Nilesh,
So you have met the man, the great one in the flesh, I speak of course of Dazz.
So whats he like. I picture him as being like our own Jack Thompson, Rugged, Tough, Aussie through and through. Or maybe like a hollywood film icon, a senior aged sex symbol, maybe a Harrison Ford or a George Cloney. Or is he more like the ultimate womens man, the great scot, Sean Connoly, or am I off the mark completley?

Shambles · **Reply #21: October 28, 2008, 11:43:34**

Dazz - is this you?

sparki30 · **Reply #22: October 28, 2008, 14:19:08**

I've seen a few down here in south east England, just shows what an exclusive car it is.

ive seen two in my country town of 20,000 people, ones a light silver diesel sx (older owner) might not be in horsham, the other is a black base petrol model and a P plate girl owns it...

i want mine! 12 days to go till monday for its arrival!

donc · **Reply #26: October 30, 2008, 05:46:42**

They seem to be breeding as fast as grasshoppers in the NSW Central West - seen at least a dozen in the past week, including a red SR with 'i30' blazed in huge letters on each side... a bit loud for me, but it certainly stood out from the crowd...

Shambles · **Reply #27: October 30, 2008, 08:23:27**

Well as the thread seems to have turned into a "who spotted one", I can now say I've seen my 1st ever i30 on the road.

I was passed on a motorway last night by a silver model - first I've ever seen on a UK road. It was carrying trade plates so was either being driven by a dealer or was on a test drive. Woohoo

Only two? I live in a town with just over 25,000 people in it and I reckon there'd be more than 20 zipping around here...
