Meeting strangers who turn out to be local pistonheaders!

[arebrec]

Happened to me today at my daughters after school Zumba class!!

Some of the mums, me included decided to join in and the only thing I had to wear was Charlies extra large polo shirt with PH logo!! At the end, one of the mums asked if that was an internet forum because her husband is always on it!! Turns out she also has a chimaera so we got chatting.

So to James from Bagshot if you're here, as I told Jo I would give you a shout

[Hoofy]

At least she didn't say, "I'm on mumsnet" before scowling and walking off.

I once saw this guy with a Porsche coming out of the dry cleaners...

Same bloke walked into my work a couple of months ago as it happens

[wackojacko]

Indeed a PHer lives 100 yards up the road from me and drinks in the same local pub as me....

Mr Murray !

Dry cleans his Porsche, must be minted.
wasnt Harry Redknapp by any chance

Yeah I see loads of smiley'd up cars about- there's a white Subaru import where I walk my dog but ive never seen the owner. PH has got a huge following!

amazing how many people respond to posts that I sometimes put on here relating to my local area (Sandhurst)

I also had a mobile hairdresser come to the house a few months ago, and got chatting about cars and turned out her boyfriend has a cerb and chim and is on here too!! Dave500 (think that was his name!!)

Small world, isn't it - first time I've known of a PH'er in real life, and it wasn't even me who did the spotting!

Joanne, she cuts my Mrs hair too, nice girl

Some chap called Matt, lives 4 doors down from me and is always driving different PH featured cars

Riggers

I was at a photography class the other night and I'm sure there was a PHer there. He drove a red Griff...

[Blues]

I've never met another PHer. I don't think they exist in real life, do they

[JonnyFive]

Sometimes get PHers here at work.. Blues has been here before, recognised the Ferrari. Also a few others, you gather from what they're saying they're not a normal customer, they know cars, and then you drop 'PistonHeads' into the conversation and see their reaction

James, say hi to Jo and hopefully see her at zumba again soon!!

I'm glad I wore that tshirt now, I was worried that the other mums might wonder what it meant and I'd have to explain about this geeky internet forum didn't expect anyone to know about it let alone own a TVR too She did say you were thinking of selling the Chim though

yep that's her, reminds me I need to ring her and book her in!!!

[VinceFox]

Never met one. I think the south coast is pretty sparse for PHers.

The Customer Service was great, but alas we won't be back. My lady has chopped her MX5 in for a V6 A4 convertible
