Went out for a meal and movie at Castle Towers with the family tonight and spotted another dark blue MS in the car park CWJ 26Y. Not sure if it has been spotted before?

Not previously spotted, did you get a photo?

Unfortunately not, I was in a line of cars exiting the car park when I spotted it. It would be one of the early Sydney deliveries as rego is identical to mine other than last letter.

Have either of these two been spotted before?

Yep, both previously spotted!

I know my car was spotted in October, but it was a grainy reverse camera shot, so here's an interesting comparison photo taken in Brisbane. Hope you don't mind me sharing it.

Nice pic - and nice comparison, thanks for sharing.
From this angle (and compared to the Tesla) you'd really have to think long and hard about buying an i8

I saw your car first at Siromat... Definitely the best custom plate I've seen

And a most appropriate username too!

Although Picard was Next Generation, and his was NCC-1701-D, and then later E. I think NCC-1701 can work as a "catch all" for both though
My favorite Star Trek Series was Voyager, and it was NCC-74656. Not quite as instantly identifiable though!

Picard, either your colleagues park illegally, or those nuns have Stacks of Cash!!!!
But how amazing is the i8-----Sooooo pretty!!! I wish the Tesla looked as fantastic!

beauty is in the eye of the beholder..etc - to my eye the i8 is gimmicky, trendy and far from elegant, the tesla is a much better design.

Totally agree. Basically it is a slightly souped up Toyota Prius. I don't understand the attraction of it at all. Less than 20km of real world electric range, and a 0-100 of 4.4 - surely BMW are having a lend of their customers with this one.
