Hi Martin. No, it wasn't me that carded you. It might well have been Gareth 'cos he uses the auto trimmer in Dormanstown. Shame I missed you, one day we might meet up. When the weather finally starts to get better we'll definately have to arrange to get some of the locals together for a meet somewhere between our two areas. Les

Hello Les, I may be working up there again pretty soon, if not almost certainly later in the year. Will drop you a line next time i'm in town. Felt a bit ashamed to be spotted - car was in a filthy state with nasty WD40 streaks down the passenger door as the door catch seized up last weekend. Cheers

Had two sightings this weekend but both times I was in hubbies Landrover :(
The first a Lapiz Grey in Ackworth and the second (another Lapiz) in the NEC car park at the Spring Fair on Sunday.
I have yet to see another Fig whilst in mine!

Hereford - spotted today in the car park next to Kwik Fit, a pale blue figgy. Wasn't in mine though :( but it was lovely to see another one :)
There's also a pale green one sometimes up at Aylestone School and my boys tell me they've seen another gold one in Hereford :shock:

Ooooh 3 sightings in one day ... last wednesday ... all green ... lovely wave from the blond lady on the A13 as I pulled off to Basildon :D

I still find it amazing that after all this time I get all excited when I even see another Figaro on the road and it makes my day if I get a wave too x

Spotted a Topaz Mist Figaro with personalised number plate parked in centre of Leeds on Mon 19 April 10 from my office window. Decided to go down and admire it from close range in my lunch hour only to find that it had gone just as I was going out!

Am currently in a Fiat Punto courtesy car and was feeling rather disloyal yesterday on the way back from the supermarket after a "big shop" for making the most of having a proper boot for the weekend (went to the tip and the garden centre too and no soiled back seats!)... and then i spotted a Topaz with a FIG plate coming off the M5 towards Halesowen and couldn't do a wave :( Aligences were realligned, felt very guilty :D

Oh no! You poor thing - a Fiat Punto's okay but if you waved at me I'd only wave back if I recognised you.Otherwise I'd think you were a loon...

Exactly! Although I've had people wave at me and just thought it was sweet :D And I meant feeling guilty about thinking good thoughts about another car BBB - like I was having an affair!!! :lol:

I had a one sided wave with an emerald green in Rudgeway about 10.30 yesterday morning. I flashed and waved but you just stared at me!

I saw a Lapiz Grey fig with a chrome rack on the back outside the tesco express in Bebington, Wirral! Only one number different on the reg plate too, kept a lookout but did not see who got in. Also was in a mazda mx5 (bf's car) at the time so there would have been no connection anyway haha!

Have seen a black fig in Port sunlight and a green one in/around West Kirby area, give me a wave if you see me!!!

Hi All,

Driving through a little village Saffron Walden way yesterday in Gertie and spied a Pale Aqua. Well actually hubby pointed it out as I was concentrating on the drivng of course :wink:
Waved like mad and think I got a little wave back but haven't worked out the flashing of lights yet as I'm still confusing my windscreen wipers and indicators occasionally :roll: (other way round to the blokes' car...)

My first figgy spot while driving, how exciting!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Big figgy love,

Bex
