Spotted today parked outside Toys R Us at J27 Retail Park, Birstall, a white four door with a green N/S/F wing. Didn't manage to get a picture as it was tipping it down.

Hi folks

Spotted a pale blue saloon [with no rear bumper as far as I could tell from the bus] in Ilfracombe today.

Why was I on the bus?

Hmm :oops:

Moved to Barnstaple on 19th November. Attempted to drive moggy down the week before but he didn't fancy the trip.

Dynamo burnt out and wheel bearing kind of sound returned but much louder. Inspected thoroughly before trip revealing no problem.

Rescued to Exmouth and is still there.

Should be getting him to Barnstaple next weekend.

One of my neighbours is a mechanic and loves moggies!

Any other owners in this part of the world. ie North Devon?

Yes it will be. It was next to the burger van. I'll say 'Hi' next time I see it (and really confuse him as he doesn't know me!)

OEW 4-door (i think) on the roundabout by Mothercare in Aylesbury about 12.30 this afternoon.
I was in a modern, while Misty's off the road, so didn't wave.
Anyone here?
