You've got to watch out for those rusty rings :lol:

Mk1?

Southcoast boys, i was working in Fordingbridge last week and spotted a pale blue Mk1 comntaining an old couple, i'd guess the original owners which looked in nice condition. In contrast to that i saw the most awesome Lichen covered white 240 estate, really wish i'd got a pic of that!
That's a mk2 not a mk1 because the bumpers are mk2 shape

Two 340s today in Doncaster, a metallic blue/green 5 door and a dark metallic red 3 door. I think I might have seen both of them before but never on the same day within minutes and only two miles of each other! Probably one a million chance as we were in the 340 too so thats 3 almost all together!

Stopped off at a small Tesco petrol station in Weymouth this morning to put a bit of air in the tyres and look over and saw an identical one to ours that we have just bought yesterday!! Its the same colour but the only difference is that one was a 4 door and ours is 3!! The gentleman who owns it though came over to talk to us, how nice of him. These are the only 2 in Weymouth. (Well technically 1 in Weymouth, and 1 in Portland!!) By the way, does anyone else get let out at junctions a lot?? We used to in our old 340, never did in the vectra, and today it was a total of 7 times just driving around weymouth!! Everything is back to normal again now we have a 340!!! :D
