Yeti spotting - result!

[Genstabler]

Lots around Helmsley, though not many waves, and saw one last week in ****ouri, Cyprus!

[Genstabler]

Ha ha! The automatic censor didn't like the name of the coastal town we stayed in in Cyprus so expurgated it. Begins with P and has a couple of Ss!

Followed a French reg'd Yeti for a few miles on Friday afternoon, heading towards Cromford (Matlock area) in Derbyshire.

 

Guess the chances of it being someone on here are quite slim

A very friendly wave from FE63 ... White Yeti in Woodborough today

[adarajames]

Andy831,

Last year when I was in Blachshaw Head visiting friends I didn't see one in the Hebden Bridge area. Glad there are now some there!

Saw five different ones in Carlisle in a couple of minutes yesterday, not one wave.

Hi Steve

 

Yes there seems to be several around the village now, all classics.

Just got back from a trip to the Beamish open air museum in Co Durham, 138 miles each way. Only saw 4 other Yeti's. As I drove onto the car park at Beamish the car next but one in front of me was like mine, a 62 4x4. no Briskoda sticker though.

[adarajames]

chatted to a guy whilst out dog walking at High Elms, he has a petrol blue and wishes he'd got DSG so glad I went for that option even more having had the conversation with him

[Foxyfour4]

Exchanged a wave with a very clean red SM (pre face lift) on Friday going into Sutton. Saw it again about an hour later going the opposite way.... anyone on here?

Travelling on the M27 Eastbound between M3 and Whiteley junction around 7:45 am I saw 3 Yetis. a 10 plate Silver. a 60 plate Silver and a 62 plate, unsure of colour.

Wish it had been mine! I've not been to the TT since the Gileras came back.

23/05/14 - On A272 east of Winchester - a Yeti in full Police regalia. First Yeti seen in disguise.

[Vectis]

Pulled up at Morrisons on the Isle of Wight for diesel last weekend and there was a police Yeti in front of me.

[DonjSZ5]

A Rosso Bunello (I think) FL this morning at Dummer Garden Centre North Waltham.

[7029bob]

Hardly a Yeti but passed by a new shape R/Rover with plates YET1E  on the M50 this morning going north.

 

Perhaps he / she has visions of grandeur . :D

Its owned by a funeral director. Plates were on a 911 turbo before this. He's got a gay-ar-do too.

I have been away two weeks and have seen more Yeti's than I have ever seen! A week in Northumberland and a week in Dumfries and Galloway including the Rhins. Coming back down the M6, at one point there was a trio of us, side by side in each lane.

Longest trip I have enjoyed so far with mine 2000 miles.

There was a Yeti as one of the Course Cars on the Severn Valley Rally today.

[AndyC]

Parked up in Stonehaven recently. Came back to...

 

 

Apologies for cra**y picture. Useless phone cam.

[freedie]

Astonishing how wide yours is compared with the other one! Or the other way round of course...

There was a Yeti as one of the Course Cars on the Severn Valley Rally today.

There were at least 4 out on the SV yesterday Graham! 

1) I spotted 1 lurking about the showground Service Area at Builth Wells. That was probably the course car you mention.

2) 1 on radio duty in Halfway forest - least I think that was where I saw it, only a fleeting view and I was "otherwise occupied" calling the notes at the time. But from recall it was Junct 3, a HpR. Hence on my side and slow corner, so I had chance to look up. Possibly black, but it was under the trees at the time. Definitely a Yeti as was head on to my line of sight under braking for the corner.

3) 1 on the start line of Crychan Main.

4) Then your Dewi of course on the stage stop line in Cefn.

 

Was a very pleasant surprise to have chance to say "Hello" on the stop line. Half expected you might be on Radio somewhere, but stop line was a complete surprise. Shame it wasn't a longer chat, but we both had jobs to do at the time I guess.  On the run back to Builth Keith, my driver, was amazed:

K: "So you're telling me there's an internet forum specifically for Skoda Yeti?" 

H: "Yep - Graham on the stop line back there and I are both members!". 

K: "Everywhere we go round here, there's someone who knows you by name!". 

H "I've been competing on this rally on and off for maybe 15-20 years!"

 

We were celebrating the second time we saw you, as this was the second event on the trot we had got Kermit the Avenger to the finish of a Rally in one piece. 2nd in class was just fine, considering we did the first for stages with a very intermittently working intercom.  Just got to do the same finish in three weeks time in Keilder now.....

Glad we had a fleeting chance to speak, Henry, and you certainly did look happy the second time around. Well done in getting Kermit to the end!

 

I was surprised to be doing finish, especially as I haven't done that job for more than 10 years, but we had plenty of radios out but not enough "specialist". Quite enjoyed it actually.

 

And sorry but I won't be up in Keilder!!

[Steve Humphreys]

I got a wave from a Muscovado 12 plate on the Crookham road in Fleet this morning, anyone on here?
