I'll trt better next time but I managed to catch up with local MR-2, I've only noticed it in the last couple of months; maybe it was garaged previously.

Your Excel makes the Mister Too look rather ungainly.

Thank you. I'd like to and mostly agree but I do think that when viewing the Excel from the rear 3 quarter angle it looks quite awkward itself.

Kizashi and then an 8 series... Sadly this was at halfords.

I actually had to stop, turn around and come back to figure out what the heck this was!

Only had a really quick look on the way past, but at a glance passing by it didn't look at all bad as a passer by.

Did take a mental note of the make and model. Now that information has been completely wiped.

I don't remember ever seeing a Thema estate - were they not offered in the UK? 

Only in LHD, and only 21k made. Although that one looks like it's been made up of various bits, as it's on a Q plate. So could be RHD. I've never knowingly seen one. But I'd love a drive of that.

I thought it was some kind of Daihatsu Cuore. Right on the make, apparently something called a Daihatsu Trevis, based on the Mira.

Out of the bus window and a lorra lorra Nissans (this is just a few of them).

Looking at some more pics I took It's LHD.

Phone camera nearing it's maximum zoom but this had a long term owner vibe to it (also seeing something like this in January!) 

Same owner since 1982, apparently.

Glad to see that’s still around. Used to see it quite often in Basingstoke but have t seen it for ages.

Calibra, not seen one in ages. Asda in Reading today

Saw one of these, on a Merc recovery, coming out of Blyth >> heading to A19 Spine Rd, yesterday 👀

 

..... Unwashed, pull-out of shed 'dirty dusty/greasy patina' look 🤔

On a trailer...Not a queen 🤣

I spotted an electric MGB earlier. The number plate said ‘ELECTRIC’ but it had a trade plate on the dash.

Spotted among the Porsches and Range Rovers - still has most recent tax disc in the window. Within the C charge zone, presumably powering through and paying the ULEZ charge to drive in style.

Nah, Domestic Management's used to it!  Anyhoo... if it was me, it'd be a Renault Estafette or a Peugeot J7... 😎

I didn't think this looked bad, in a drift slag sort of way and then I remembered it's fwd. 😢

I remember when these first came out, one of the managers had one as his company car (before emission taxing).

A lot of the other managers used to borrow it for holidays.
