I saw a Micro Blue at a local shopping centre this arvo. I’ve only seen 3 in my area (Yellw, SWP, and Micro Blue) in total over the last few months. Stingers don’t seem to be well represented in Brisbane compared to say, Sydney. Sticks and myself are the only Brisbane members AFAIK compared to the number of members in Sydney.

Huh, which brings up another question, how many colors are there for the stinger?

 

[OliverNuther]

7 in Australia. Yellow is still not available. Not sure about other markets.

Mine was called silky silver by the dealer.........are there other silvers?

 

[OliverNuther]

Not in Oz. Ceramic Grey is the closest.

 

[rocket23]

Saw this beauty yesterday and had to park and take a photo with it.
Some one on here?

The white one has the led lights in the front scoops

And the grey one is owned by an Eskimo judging by the amount of sun shielding going on in there.

Just noticed now you you said so, wonder where he got them.
Also the white one has a tinted windscreen. We cant do that in Australia.

 

[OliverNuther]

No. Looks good tho.

Just saw a white Stinger in Myrtle Beach. Plates looked like Virginia tags (UWT-****).

Saw a red GT2 yesterday driving in the opposite direction...
We were both looking at each other as if we saw a Yeti....

So, officially seen my first Stinger in the wild on the way home from work. I was slowing to come into my neighborhood and there was a Blue GT2 sitting outside a restaurant with a couple inside. Like a little child, I got all excited and pulled into the car park and parked next to it and jumped out all smiles, expecting a similar response which never came. I actually had to knock the on the guys window before he acknowledged me. Total let down!

Ya just got to realize it ain't the ''jeep'' genre we are talking about.

Well, I got my first sighting. A gorgeous black, all clean and spiffy, with a very cool looking guy driving with eyes straight ahead the whole time. My wife and I were coming home after an afternoon of hiking in Big Cottonwood canyon. At the mouth of the canyon, she said, "I want to drive your car." I pulled over without any hesitation and got in the passenger side back seat. She drove without flap and enjoyed herself accelerating a couple of times. On Redwood Road as we were going up the hill by Memorial Estates the black beast passed us on the right. "Stinger!" I shouted and scrambled for my cell phone. I thought I got four pics but only two took. Better than nothing. We followed him and he turned toward our neighborhood. As we came to the street we normally take, my wife pulled up alongside of him and put the window down and gave a little honk and held her thumb up out the window. He kept his eyes straight ahead, which disappointed my wife. "Didn't he react at all?" He might have angled his head a bit in annoyance. So! Karma. Until I consented to let my wife take a turn in my car, all resident or visiting Stingers have eluded me. The first time I let her drive any real distance, bingo! there one is, and I am positioned to document it. Too fun(ny).

He's a local guy, and his plate seemed to be a ham radio operator number. I should have got it down, but when I thought about it he was gone.
