Did a little count of cars on my travels

We went on our Hols all last week and travelled from Notts down to Isle of Wight, back to Southampton onto Bournemouth onto Dartmoor across to Essex and then back to Notts. Clocked up a good few miles but not in RS4. On our travels we saw the following numbers of cars.
Boxster 4 (987)
Boxster Lost count (986)
Cayman 5
S2000 3
911s lost count both 996 and 997

And do you know how many RS4s (b7)we spotted?
Saloon - A big fat zero
Avant - A big fat zero
Convertable - A bit fat zero

I was really impressed and to date since picking up my car I have only seen 1 saloon and one convertable on the road. These are rare cars. :D

Yes they are rare. Seeing them more commonly in london now however. See one every couple of weeks...mainly avants.

Mine is the only one I've seen in norfolk so far, on the way to Gatwick (regular trip) only seen one Spirit Blue Avant. :) Rare indeed.

I have seen 3 in the 2 months I have had mine, 2 gave me a wave, the one today looked at me totally gone out :( two of them had femail drivers, one of them I have seen twice was the same lady both times so must me hers....

There must be more in the dealer network than on the road!

Yep, same story for me.
I've only seen one other since buying mine, and that was behind me/in front/behind/in front on the M4!

I've spotted loads of them! Seem to see one every day at the moment, starting to pi$$ me off actually - hardly ever saw another B5 when I had one! :roll:

I wonder why they are so common down London and your neck of the woods yet rare as rocking hores <beep> up here.
Does anyone know if its true that only 1000 came to the uk?

I saw 3 on one stretch of road near the City.
2 on one floor of the car park at Canary Wharf and another one on another floor.

Relatively common but not as common as M3s thank God.
