Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I've seen this car a few times. It now has a black decal across half of the car. Not a bad little machine. :beer

I know I put a note under the windscreen of a silver one at the Uni last year. It was sitting in the same spot for about a week - starion trouble perhaps? - seemed to be regularly parking around the engineering(?) building up above education.

There's another one in Kingston whose owner avandull knows. Saw a blue one over the eastern shore a while ago and we saw a yellow one just out of Hobart heading north. Those are only the ones I can remember from the South.

Avandull was chatting with a guy who owned one done up for dirt rallying too when he was officialling at a rally event a little while ago. There's another red one up north and avandull knows that owner - he bought his white parts car off him.

Mick I regularly see you driving up Davey when I'm cycling to work and it was me and avandull that waved madly at you in near the circus in Battery point one evening and you looked very confused.

There's others too in Tas that I can't think of off the top of my head. Avandull and I counted around a dozen that we knew of at one point.

I spotted Mick last night turning onto Main Rd at the bottom of Springfield. It was 7:50pm, I just glanced over my shoulder from the passenger seat of my wife's car and caught a glimpse of it going left so no chance to wave! :(

I know there is a black one in Hobart that is currently off the road at the moment, copped a tow bar through the front end and needs a radiator and headlight.

First post of mine in a loooooong time.....

The black one that was smashed, was that the one with black simmons rims, hks intercooler kit? Wish I'd bought that when it was for sale a few years back.

Keep your ear to the ground mate, they pop up every now and then. I got mine from Lenah Valley in April for what I consider a STEAL! :D

Hey guys, i was telling Mick that on saturday i was driving through moonah and saw this old lady driving a starion. It wasn't gold but it wasn't poo brown (mike said probably bronze)... Has anyone seen that driving round at all in hobart?
I hadn't seen it before... I didnt get the best look at it tho, but im pretty sure i did notice a few dents in it, dont think that it was in the best condition at all! Obviously dont look after it-who knows!

I've got a tiny little photo of that Starion at home! Apparently this old lady keeps it on a farm, I found her friends myspace online once and left a note to encourage her to join up here. Obviously without success! :oops:
