Late eighties dark grey American spec (headlights and possibly in LHD) saloon with black tinted windows overtook me on the A11 near Thetford and turned off at Red Lodge

I saw 2 today!
First was a red G-reg estate in Wimborne, Dorset. I waved but the driver didn't respond even though i was driving my 145 today!
Second was a white J-reg towing a smallish trailer in Verwood, Dorset. Again i waved, but just got a confused look back!!

Well you don't see one for months then two within a few days!

We drove into Stokesay Castle car park and there was an 'F' reg. white estate. Of course we parked beside it and took a few pictures of this almost unique occasion. We later chatted to the owners who had owned the car from new and were. like us, on holiday. We saw the car again the next day in Church Stretton car park. A couple of days later we saw an 'L' reg., white again, on the Shrewsbury bypass.
