White (cream?) mark 1 hatchback - Chandlers Ford today?????

Post by Baldbazza »

Seen turning into Hocombe Road from Winchester Road (near M3 Junc 12) around 17:30 today. Seemed to be wearing a spoiler, small foam type. Briefly spotted it while stuck behind muppet negotiating roundabout, so couldn't see more details.

Anyone???

BTW Hocombe Road = one of Hampshire's finest highways; the most suitable road I know for testing BX suspension...

If it was cream with a spoiler and a Mark One thats a Gt, who do we know who has a cream GT! Adamski!?

For some reason I thought Adamski was local, Portsmouth area so maybe.

Haven't seen any others around there. Only cream one I know of that went along that road was my 14RE....which broke down on the maiden voyage, then started again 5mins later with no problem :?

Hampshire is not also well known for Hocombe Road but also as the birth place for the BX club`s finest product. Me :shock: :lol:

Ohh another cream GT hey. Nope it was definately not mine unless someone stole it while I was at work and did 120 MPH all the way to Portsmouth and back!! lol Yeah I did used to live in Portsmouth Kitch, I was at uni there. Im now living up in the West Midlands though. I did see a MK1 BX in cream in Portsmouth when I was there, but it was just parked up in an industrial estate car park doing nothing, and hadnt been TAXed for over a year or so. It was in fairly good nick actually, and I think it was a TRS. I dont remember a spoiler, but then I cant remember it not having one either. If anyone is passing, it might be worth a look if its still there. Its on the road that goes into Southsea past the football stadium and then McDonnalds.

I'm pretty certain in was not-very-clean white, rather than cream but only got a very quick glimpse of it thanks to muppet in front constantly making 'corrections' to driving style...

Certainly looked like a GT. I guess I'll have to take that route home from work to see if I can see it again.

BTW this was Chandlers Ford, halfway between Winchester and Southampton, not Portsmouth. I have heard rumour of another great GT beast in Portsmouth. Anyone got any knowledge of that? (maybe was your from old, Adamski?).

Haven't seen one yet, but I'll keep an eye out. Portsmouth Harbour tends to make Portsmouth BX-spotting difficult (unless I'm on that side...). Passed Triton-Green L-reg estate the other night in Locks Heath, looking tidy.
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.
