First time I've ever seen another Galant driving around Launi.. or anywhere, for that matter o.o older Galants, that is =] lol.
But yeah.. I got excited.. started bouncing in my seat (while driving >.<)... made my partner get a photo on my phone while we were stopped at the lights =D lol.
Followed him for a while - yes I kinda stalked it

hehe.

I was down in Tassie around Feb last year for about 2 weeks. While I was there I saw a Blue 4 door LA identical to mine but in a lot better condition just out side of Strahan then in I came across a GB galant driving through Hobart, then the next day I saw another LA parked in a carpark near where they have the markets in Hobart.
I hadn't seen any old Mitsubishi's in months in Sydney then go to Tassie and come across 3 in the space of about 4 days.

Haha, pretty sure I was pointing at some point also... =D Dunno - was too excited XD Lol.
Must have looked pretty cool to anyone watching as I followed it half way across Launi =P haha
Funny how the silliest things can excite you, huh? Haha =] And ya make a complete fool of yourself.. ^_^
People in the other cars seemed amused that I was bouncing in my seat while stopped at the lights XD

Probably just didn't NOTICE them until you got yours? =)
I'm pretty sure I saw a Lancer in Launi leaving the Kmart once... but didn't really get enough time to check it out as it was driving away and I couldn't see it anymore cos of the building

. And one of my mates saw another Galant (red I think it was) in Launi once, and took a photo and sent me via MMS... Just cos he knew I'd get excited >.<

I see it every week or two up in Mowbray/Newham area, it use to be alot straighter. Im guessing they are up at the Uni?
Ive never seen it parked anywhere in town or I wouldve slipped a S-G dot com note under the wiper for them

Cheers

You'd think he/she would be something to do with the Uni, with that sticker on the back
I've never seen it before that day =] I think I know where he/she lives though... =P After following XD
I wouldn't remember the exact house now though lol =] Probably just as well, or it'd be a bit creepy for them =P
