White too I believe but maybe it was just a badly faded one

Re: Classic car Autumn/Winter collection-2017/18
Funny that, after I'd shut down for the night I had this random thought that, at some stage I had seen a lime green one which, in turn, made me wonder about a yellow one - as citrus colours seem to be favourite.
p.s. love your colour coded links - how does that work?

No drab ones then ('though wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a cammo one out there somehere now) - as even the black one had orange graphics!
Unlike all those desperately dull grey & fawn Kas spotted at the w/e, then again, there was a grey Ferrari at Maastricht (& I thought beige E-types were weird!)

This is about as well as I can explain it. Bit like writing with boxing gloves on for the first couple of times

Click on the pic and hopefully its big enough to read

Yup, big enough to read - but, as I feared, completely devoid of meaning - to a simpleton like me.

My younger brother had an earlier Bond 'minicar'
He was following a builder's truck and some bricks fell off, he couldn't avoid them, they went under the front and removed all his mechanics to back behind the driver's seat..

I had a friend with one (his way to be able to drive before he was 17); used to entertain us no end, standing by it on one foot, bonnet up, other leg over the front wing - kick-starting it!

The expression on that Alsatians' face says it all!
I was on the Isle of Wight yesterday, and I encountered this near to Ryde High Street;

Re: Classic car Autumn/Winter collection-2017/18
Yesterday morning, cruising through Place de la Republique - an early Mustang convertible, driver dressed for winter (there was snow in Paris, remember) but with window down & right arm draped over the back of the passenger seat!

Re: Classic car Autumn/Winter collection-2017/18
One of the more unusual coffee vans at the No Excuses Cambridgeshire Sportive yesterday
A Bedford CA. Makes a change from the almost ubiquitous H Van.
I love the old CA almost as much as I love the H.
Sadly no decaffeinated on offer so I could not sample the goods. I was keen to sleep well last night and I did
The CA is a late'ish one 1970 on an H plate...
