Re: Spotted today.
Oil, water and brake fluid? That's quite a breakdown!

Re: Spotted today.
The lady wife saw a bright yellow 'pick up' moggy driving up Alexander road in Glodwick, Oldham today. Never seen it before. I asked her, "Did you see the reg'?" "No," she said, "...but it was very shiny!!!"

Re: Spotted today.
Spotted at lunchtime, today, Black 4-door PCY 357G, driving along Teddington High Street in the direction of Teddington Lock (location of the old Associated Rediffusion/Thames TV studios). Driven by a young lady - went past all too quickly for me to get mobile phone out of pocket to take photo.

Re: Spotted today.
2 new 'spots' this week, anyone on here?
My folks saw an orange (!) Pick-up in Poringland near Lowestoft, Suffolk.
Today, in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, I glimpsed a two-tone, white and lime-green, 2-door saloon with the spare on the boot-lid and possibly a roof-rack too? Unfortunately, I only got a seconds look between parked cars.

Re: Spotted today.
Sunday morning on way to work - spotted a Minor traveller Panda car (can't be too many of these?) on the A456 heading towards Tenbury Wells from Newnham Bridge.
I was on my bike going the other way so not really much point in waving! (Too out of breath and another 10miles to go so no energy spare for waving...)

F reg pickup on a drive on the Leeds Ring Road near Seacroft, looked modified, although I was driving past quite quickly!
Re: Spotted today.
Saw a very nice green convertible driving into Newton Abbott (Devon) last Wednesday late afternoon. Only just saw it as it passed in other direction in heavy traffic.

Re: Spotted today.
Had a fuel problem this afternoon, managed to limp into Home Base in Cwmbran, came to a hault next to a very good looking old english white four door minor. Looked very original inside and out. Spent about 15 minutes fitting a spare petrol pump that I had in the boot, no sign of the owner, was hoping to say hello, fuel problem sorted and off home.
Re: Spotted today.
Traffy blue traveller, J reg, near the Wicker Arches, Sheffield. Was heading towards the Uni at the time myself.
Re: Spotted today.
H-plate Maroon B convertible with biscuit interior on St Peter St Islington, I shouted hello from my bike and you waved.
Re: Spotted today.
