Nightfire Si in Hedge End

[Captain Sensible]

I passed a mint Nightfire Red Si, with a giffer spec AA badge in Hedge End, near Southampton today. I wasn't in my 800 at the time, I was driving an Irizar coach

Anyone on here?

Not me Sam - but then it wouldn't be seeing as i'm nearly 200 miles away! Could have been an old gimmer (Hampshire word for giffer) that has owned it from new and bought it as his retirement present.

Got my first ever 800, a 1986 D reg 820Si from Hedge End many moons ago, flew through its first MoT with me and by the following year the front subframe was rotten as a month old curry. Even secondhand subframes were £300+++ and like hens teeth to find, new ones were similar but even harder to find!

What's with the coach driving then Sam?

that just goes to show I shouldn't scan read.... I was intrigued to see which hedge the nightfire red si had ended up in....

round that neck of the woods it could easily end up in water as well - Howards Way was filmed in and around Hedge End if you remember that from the 80s ish?
