So that I can keep the thread for whenever I see another.

White DSM. It looked like an Eclipse, but with Talon lights (had the Eclipse tail/spoiler and Eclipse bumper). Nice rims, with blue centers, well done up. I'd almost say it was a metallic white, not a stock white, but that might have been the morning sun and dirt.

Saw them on Courtland, and then again 20 minutes later, heading back out towards Fairway.

^^^That defently isn't a factory Eclipse rear spoiler, its an aftermarket one & I have to say, an ugly one at that.

Weirdest sighting:

I'm at the Sobeys on Highland & Belmont, about to leave. Driving the Silver Talon. And coming right at me, "Wow, those lights look familiar". It's another Silver Talon. Had the 16" swirlies. But it was beautiful. There we sat, 2' apart, talking, in two silver Talons.

Starts the long weekend off right.

Mine will return back to K/W tommorow, even though it arrives on a trailer.

Can you answer if it has a pearl white metallic paint, or if it was just the sun? It really didn't look like stock flat white paint from where I was.

I test drove that talon in guelph last fall, it had some serious problems but it was pretty quick. Still 50/50 on the dual spoiler thing. I'm in KW every couple of weeks and see a lot of DSMs, usually young punks sitting sideways with huge chrome and all that jazz. I don't bother waving at those guys, they are too fast and too furious for me.

Saw a bright orange Talon, with a double wing, in Breslau today.

And last night, I was heading to Victoria Street, around West St, and I saw a White Talon, black top, just like yours Brad. Somewhere in the mid-evening, like 6 or 7.

I always give a wave if I see someone in time.
Some people wave back some don't.

Ran into a black 2Gb last night on University and Westmount. It had a vented BOV and a grey line or two above the front passenger side wheel.

Was that anyone here?

Yea a DSM work party day, I took the motor out for a Cam/Clutch swap,(never done a T-belt in the car yet) and to clean up a bunch of stuff, and it needs about an afternoon of work to get going again. I just can't get inspired to get it done.

This morning at Park and Union:
Green Eclipse. Almost a lime green, but without the neon-type feel. It appeared to have a giant "For Sale" sign in the back seats.

Shows up in Autotrader as a '95 for $5500.

Black 1G was being towed up Columbia (at King) when I was driving by. I assume it was FWD, as it was being towed by a non-flatbed.

I was able to salute to a purplish 2G coming down the 7 towards KW. We were both moving slow, because of the car that flipped over.

How do you flip your car over on the 7?! smile

When did you become a lazy ass Tim? Need an extra set of hands to put that beast back together before you go back out west?

Hey Noah, glad to see you are still around. It needs very little to finish, maybe an hour or so of work, But I was tossing around the idea of grabbing up a couple of cases of beer and doing another of the famous driveway meets.

I'd be up for a driveway meet.



Almost every morning I've been seeing this really nice silver 2GB eclipse parked on High street in front of the catholic school, is it anyone here?

Also waved at a black 1GA as he drove by on Biehn drive a couple days ago.

Saw a white 1G yesterday, turned in front of me at Highland and Ottawa. Think it had stock exhaust, seemed pretty clean. Got on the Expressway towards Waterloo. I was busy keeping up with it, but it was a little too quick for my wife.

Apparently when they clutch the door and close their eyes, this is "bad".
