James,
We won't be the first public behind the wheel
Ceri (wales meet) said they tested one at Cardiff. Or was it at Abbergaveny ?? Also others on this BBS have posted that they have done so

Sorry but none of you will be the first public behind the wheel as I collected my UK STi yesterday.
I may pop in to the test drive next week if I get a chance though.
Can anyone give me a few directions.

Rob - Media & Events Manager, eh? Need any Web-sites or PC based Media demonstrations produced? 
Where do you need directions from? I take it then, that you didn't get your sti7 from Listers?
Ian - try typing these to get smilies... (Where I write "COLON", just use the colon symbol)
COLONeekCOLON =
COLONmadCOLON = [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
COLONconfusedCOLON =
COLONrolleyesCOLON =
COLONp =
COLON) =
SEMI-COLON) =
Any help?
And finally...
If Listers can't provide a demonstrator, then why oh why, did they advertise in AUTOCAR magazine (23rd January) with the following?
"Listers
STI Prodrive Type UK
Available from stock
WR Blue & Blue/Black
Phone Now"
Same old Listers... [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] ???!!!!!!??!!!

Oh, well Listers no demostrator Largest dealer!!! well I might as well get one from somewhere else then I suppose Listers obviously don't need to sell any new cars I expect some other dealer would be happy to rob me of £26K
James have you rang round Brum/Stourbridge Cardiff Showells, K Prices or any other LOcalish dealers

Squizz - Thanks for the offer re:websites etc but we already do it ourselves. If I can make it next week I will be coming down the M5 to Worcester but I know the place fairly well so just rough directions will do. Correct I didn't get it from Listers, got it from Andrew Burt in Henley in Arden.

Tony, the dealership i use has an STi in. Its not the prodrive one tho. Its Carstins at Balsall Common near the NEC. I spoke to the other James (topjimo) on line yesterday and told him the same. He was going to make a phone call this morning to see what was happening at Listers, so hopefully will know more later.
If you want the number for Carstins it is 01676 533145, or www.carstins.co.uk
All the best
James

Spoke to Paul Neale at Listers today, he says there won't be an STi7 this Sunday 3rd as they are getting the Prodrive version and that will be arriving a week later.
Is the meet still on? Hope so, I will definitely be down, what about meeting the following week as well for the Prodrive STi7? assuming Listers come up with the goods!
Blade, I will be coming down the M5 from J3 or J4, want to meet to drive down? It will be easier than directions and I can meet you anywhere in between Brum & Listers.
e-mail me at ian.lisseman@ukgateway.net either way.

Ian,
Looks as we might be meeting up at the Crown by listers and will go up to Brum and just test a new one up there.
When I get one I could always let them do the first service on it to show theres no hard feeling

Where will it be? Andrew Burt or Carstins? Bit of a to do with the latter some time ago so will skip any trip there, never been to Andrew Burt, in Solihull I think.
All the same I will be down and drive back up with you guys, should be a nice long line of us eh?
When will all the details be confirmed? Can someone text me when it is all firmed up?

Ian -for ***** sake if Tony texts you a message - ignore it
He sent one to me last night and it should have been to James (tho god knows which one!) But still, his wife, the good lady Mrs T5NYW, took my reply and told me he was working nights so that could account for it mind you, "working" and "nights" in the same sentence takes a bit of believing
Me, I'll just keep an eye on the proceedings and developments here.
See ya
Matthew
PS Ian, get those smilies on...

Wouldn't bother trying to get a demo from Andrew Burt.
I was there yesterday and they said they won't be getting a demo for another three weeks yet.

Karen and I will be there from about Noon... Nice chance to have a drink and some food, and possibly meet some Scoob-types.
Hopefully, James (JCM7611) and Sally will be there.
Anyone else?

Ok, Listers, ball , dropped. There is to be no car at listers for sunday, (fo pax) unless they pull a rabit from the bag. To be fair it's again down to IM (t*s*ers) who clearly can not run a car company.
I will try to find out who has one that is not to far away.
Ian - don't be afraid of Carstins, if we all turn up, they will never argue with you again, sidc people power kicks *** man.
More as it comes.
Perhaps we should drive up to IM, cheque books and all, and then all get our picture taken at the gates? lol
Or even better Rallyart usally have an odd STi7 about, we could go there and really take the wee wee.
