Working in Slough just now and have never seen so many Eos on the road in my life. I saw more in 10 mins than I have seen at home in 18months!
PS hate to drive down here its a nightmare
Are they just as common in other parts of England?

 

[SimonV]

We have 4 here where I work in Farnborough, Hampshire. Still think they are not that common though in comparision with other models.

BTW, how long are you in Slough for? I was thinking about organising a mini meet in the west london area.

Just today and tomorrow,

I have only seen about 5 locally since I ordered my Eos 6 weeks ago and didn't see a single one yesterday when I came over to Kent on business.

 

[SiJ2000]

They are still not very common...

 

[Dobbo]

I live in Slough (the West side I hasten to add) and yes there are a lot around. To some degree it's because of the Industrial Estate which is very high tech so you get people with taste !

It's not just Slough though, it's the Thames valley, I see a lot in Windsor and Reading as well.

 

[SiJ2000]

I guess I would expect there to be a lot around the Slough/Reading area, but thats not the norm... Elsewhere, they are still pretty uncommon...

 

[Doolallygirl]

Lots in Kent!

There are quite a lot in Kent, not to the extent of Peugeot 206/306 CC's or Merc/BMWs yet but it is getting that way, I see at least one a week on the roads and they are different colours etc every time!

Last week I drove from Hull to Brighton then next day Brighton to Sittingbourne in Kent then back up to Hull and didn't see a single Eos in 2 days and 580 miles!

There are plenty in Hull though (the sun shines a lot here!!) and saw at least 4 the next day.

A near neighbour has a black one and I see three others around Bexley/Bromley/Sidcup fairly regularly. One is dark blue - could that be you, Doolallygirl? (Great name!)
Anyway, they seem more common than when I first ordered it even just six months ago but maybe that's because I am looking out for them?

Ooooh not me yet, I collect mine on Saturday from Crawley - (Dartford dealer was a bit useless as I asked him to find me one a few months back!!). I must have seen you about in yours though as you are only in Bexley - I will look out for you and give you a wave if you are out and about in the summer - drive past the Blue Anchor - I go there a lot!

 

[teeboy]

I live in Slough during the week (and work on the Slough Trading estate), and live away at weekends, and there does appear to be a whole load in Slough at the moment.

In fact the first day I bought mine into work about 2 weeks ago I saw about 5while just walking out for lunch - much to my work mates amusement.

So if you see a Black TDI with KT08 number plates wave

Where I live (northern part of south-east France, in Grenoble), I cross 2 others almost daily (one black, one silver), yet I know of 2 more (also one black and one silver) in the city, so a total of 5... Little enough to still feel the difference!

Well, best of luck on Saturday, I bet you can't wait.

 

[GOgg]

Main sightings were in Bath Road, like I said never seen so many in one place in a day! This area looks like a hi tec industrial estate to me am I correct?

Tony, look out for me (GP 08) I work at Anite at the Burnham end of Buckingham Ave.

 

[Hornet9]

If you think the EOS is common, count how many Audi A4's and BMW 3 series' you see on your commute to work!

 

[GOgg]

I agree Hornet9, but I would like to keep (perhaps in vain) some exclusivity with the Eos. When people admire and ask what it is it gives you a good feeling don't it. (mine is debadged). I suppose when you have such a good looking car popularity can't be far behind.

 

[teeboy]

They may be getting common, but I find that when you tell someone what sort of car you have, hardly anyone has heard of an EOS - even some Top Gear watching car buff blokes have to ask. My standard answer is "VW convertible, bit bigger than a golf, bit smaller than a passat!!"

I think people just see them on the road and don't look at the badge.

 

[Johnny]

I'm seeing quite a few in London (not very friendly though!) - try telling anyone that asks that it's awful and they'll settle for an inferior cc instead - cruel I know!!
