Spotted!
 
Saw a boston(?) green ti in college park on Sunday morning.

I was leaving the comcast parking lots and it was turning onto Metzerott. I think that it had a bike rack hanging off the hatch. It was probably a 95 or 96 because it had unpainted valences and skirts.

Anyone?

spidertri 09-15-2008 12:30 PM

Saw this guy again, this time on 495 headed toward Silver Springs. Unfortunately, I was in my friend's Civic which, incidentally, does not have 318ti.org stickers on it.

2ndBimmer 09-15-2008 02:32 PM

Not I, unfortunately. Well, fortunate cause I heard 495 was a parking lot near SilverSpring this morning.

PS. My mom has a red Jetta TDI 5spd ;)

spidertri 09-15-2008 02:58 PM

I should have noted that this was last Friday night around 8. But yes, 495 was a parking lot this morning, luckily I get to laugh at all those people as I go to 95 north. :biggrin:

Yeah, TDIs are awesome, my brother drives mine now...:frown:

spidertri 09-17-2008 01:47 PM

This morning I saw a ~95ish (unpainted lowers) ti stuck in the 495 traffic near the 495/95 exit. It was a lighter blue-gray color.

spidertri 09-17-2008 11:13 PM

Walking into my building I spotted an 96+ ti. Black, active, parked in the lot between Taco Bell and the View. When I go out in a bit, I'll leave a note.

dave45056 09-18-2008 12:01 AM

Spider has a bionic eye for ti's... don't you think?

spidertri 09-18-2008 01:08 AM

Hah, I guess it's my lucky day.

spidertri 10-07-2008 03:24 AM

Just saw a calypsorot ti in lot 11 at UMD. It has BBS RKs, I wonder who that could be...:wink:


Also, on the way back from Atlantic City this weekend saw a hellrot and alaska(?) blue tis. Both from a far though.

wolferj-RIP 10-07-2008 03:54 AM

Even though I live in NorCal, (where there are almost as many ti's as in SoCal) I do not see very many in my travels. And, yes, it always seems to go in cycles... Won't see one for a month, then they are everywhere I turn... Never seen one with .org stickers, though...

themightyquinn 10-07-2008 06:36 AM

Man, I have no idea who owns that Calypso...must be an impostor! :tongue:


I see some around College Park every now and then. I keep seeing a dark green and a white...

BobbyDigital 10-07-2008 06:58 PM

On Sunday, driving up to Bethesda from Richmond, I passed a white ti, on 95 N by Quantico. It was in the slow lane, tinted windows, aftermarket wheels, exhaust and clear corners, VA tags...

Anybody on here?

jordanmc 10-07-2008 08:25 PM

You fixd it? :eek:

Fagerheim 10-08-2008 04:08 PM

In the city I live in, its only 2. 318ti's ithink... all others are 316 compact or normal 318 compact... I'v seen that other ti just one time... those others I rarely see...
You guys dont got the 316 and 318 in your contrys ? think those are spesial for scandinavian countries... :P

I feel kindof spesial beeing the onlyone with a ti here xD

tiFreak 10-09-2008 12:19 AM

the 316i is a Europe only model, and so is the 318tds and the 323ti is only available in Germany

Fagerheim 10-09-2008 12:23 AM

yeah i know... but 316's is rare in other countries...
But in norway its loads of em...
I guess ist because its so damn expensive here in norway noone can afford cars with big engines...

spidertri 10-11-2008 12:14 AM

Saw a Hellrot sport around 5pm at Green Turtle in Columbia, MD. Older dude driving it, looked really nice. He took off quick before I could yell something...:frown:

Then, while I was watching the game, there was a DHL commercial where they are shipping plates, when they show a shot of europe there is a ti driving down the street. Thought that was spot worthy.

First time! Spotted an arctic white ti with 318ti.org stickers today! In Costco parking lot in Vallejo, CA around 1pm... Looked like a sport (had OEM style spoiler), Style 68 rims (z3), and lower eyelids (kinda looks like e46 compact lights).

Fess up, who is it? :wink:

BMW_Hatchback 10-13-2008 03:47 AM

Oops, my goof :redface: That is what I meant...

BMW_Hatchback 10-13-2008 04:23 AM

2nd time I've heard that. Ha I guess BMW might at well make that a color if it isn't one already

elchicano 10-14-2008 01:47 AM

Saw one today at a walmart, by I70 and tower. It was a black Ti looked like it was a 95 or 96. They were looking at my Ti but i didn't notice it until it was driving away. I thought he was going to drive back but he didn't.

spidertri 10-16-2008 01:59 PM

Saw a different boston green ti on campus today. Was a late model (painted lowers) and had 15" style 32 wheels. Gave the guy the peace sign and he returned it. Hopefully he saw my .org stickers.

318ticruiser 10-17-2008 04:15 AM

thiers a ti where the dairy queen used to be..its thier like ever couple days..im not sure if its for sale or someome owns it. its got a ski rack im guessing on the roof.

tiFreak 10-17-2008 03:36 PM

if it's always around the same area, leave a note saying "318ti.org" or something under the wiper next time you see it

318ticruiser 10-18-2008 09:21 PM

i could try that..ill make it look like a ticket.

spidertri 10-24-2008 02:19 PM

Saw an Alaska (I think) blue ti yesterday on Rt.100. I gave thumbs up and the driver definitely saw me. My 318ti.org sticker was right where he could see it too. Unfortunately, my exit was coming up and I couldn't hang for very long.

elchicano 10-25-2008 02:57 AM

I'm working on a house and across the street I see a boston green Ti. An elderly woman was driving it, I might just drop off a card tomorrow.

spidertri 02-20-2009 10:44 PM

Saw, what some call, an Alpine White Ti sport with the 96 sidemarkers going North on I-95 today around 11am near Exit 41. I gave the thumbs up to the woman driving and she waved at me. Great looking car!

Alpine? :wink:

spidertri 02-21-2009 03:19 AM

Yeah, thats what I meant.

PS- this is the Mid-A forum, so...your posts don't count here...:biggrin:

spidertri 02-24-2009 02:14 AM

Saw a ti on campus today. It was coming out of Regent's garage onto Regent's drive. It was black with unpainted lowers. It had a huge vinyl BMW roundel on the rear window and various other vinyls plastered all over the car. Had a fart can, which appeared to be rusted, and bottlecaps. No 318ti.org logo, thank goodness.

That is the second completely trashed ti I have seen in college park, sucks.

spidertri 11-05-2009 12:42 AM

Bringing this back from the dead.

Walked out to my car in lot 9 today and found another ti parked next to me. It was silver, automatic, and had MA tags. I didn't see any ti.org stickers. Glad to see another ti on campus.

lysergicsurfer 11-05-2009 01:32 AM

From your first post over a year ago, I think I saw the same boston green ti. I was in virgina a little more than a year ago, car was just like you described. I remember that car specifically becuase I had never seen a ti with a bike rack on the hatch before. I cant belive how people can go long periods of time without seeing another ti. I am in the same boat with you and I discover a new ti almost daily. Before I had bought my ti, I would rarely see one. I remember only 2 that I would see once in a while who live around here. Now, most days I see a couple out of the 10 or so ti's that reside in this area. Almost daily, I see a ti which i haven't seen before. I have only seen 3 ti's with 318ti.org stickers, and I have not seen a ti modified beyond different rims. A couple of the local ti's are kept in ok condition. Only one of them(a sport) is always looking flawless. All of the other ti's are in terrible shape, most have sagging bumpers(some missing bumpers), faded paint, mixmatched rims, never washed, absolutely no care and respect. When I see a ti at a redlight, I wave, and if I run into one at a gas station or parking lot, I say hello sometimes say something about their nice car. In return they look away and act like they don't see me, acting like I am crazy or stupid. I hate seeing people let these cars rust away as if its a honda. Just wondering if anyone else see's these cars treated so badly?

tiFreak 11-05-2009 01:46 AM

there used to be a pretty ratty hellrot in my town, rust all over, including the hubcap-less steelies, only a few spots of clearcoat left on the entire car, the last time I saw it about 2 years ago it was on a flat bed and I haven't seen it since

I also used to see a black one, contour reps, parts of the interior were painted red and it was obviously beat on every day, trim was missing, looked like it had been bottomed out hard at least once because half the front bumper was missing, last time I saw it it had a for sale sign and was parked in the guys lawn

haven't seen many since then but there's a pretty decent looking black one with hubcaps that I've seen around town twice, I'm hoping to eventually meet the guy and refer him here since he gave me a thumbs up when I passed him in my ti once :)

2ndBimmer 11-05-2009 02:38 AM

Saw a red Ti today @ Columbia mall ~12:30. Had the blue style Save the Bay MD plates.

ajoystick 11-05-2009 05:16 AM

its rare to see other ti's around austin, but somehow there is a alpine (white) ti in my very small neighborhood :eek: with the mtech bumpers that i get to drool over from time to time. And another two at the community college campus i go to. :rolleyes: none with the .org stickers tho.
