Moggies in Birmingham

Pulled into tesco car park tonight in my moggie and parked next to a lovely other moggie. I think they look lovely in amongst the moderns
Mine is the smoke grey one, is the other one owned by anybody on here?

It's been spotted previously by messageboard members, including in a Tesco car park in Yardley, but doesn't seem to belong to anyone on here (see half way down the page):

Hi, I spotted your smoke grey saloon this evening, I didn't recognise the registration, but thought what a great car. I missed seeing the other car next to yours, but have seen it at Tesco's before (as Louise so rightly pointed out).
Any MMOC members in the Birmingham area are welcome to come along to the local branch meeting on the 3rd Monday each month. Details of the venue can be found on the Birmingham branch website. :)
I'm afraid I wasn't in my traveller today otherwise I'd have parked alongside!!!

Did you pop to the Wetherspoon pub in Mere Green, sutton Coldfield... would have been a Thursday and possibly at the back end of summer last year?

We were in there and my kids shouted "Big Car" when a mog looking like yours pulled up.. because that's what they call mine! lol!
