Default Northbound estate

On the M6, northbound between J23 and J25 yesterday, where I left the motorway there was a late-model silver estate with a Thule-style box about 1/4mile ahead of me at around 1:30pm. It was moving smartly with the traffic, suggesting a driver rather than a car-user.

A K reg. red Estate on Sunday afternoon in Church Road, Pendeen, way down West. It looked well used, a real workhorse I should think. None the worse for that, classic cars are meant to be driven!

But we did feel just a teeny bit superior in our shiny white Tors!

E reg GLT at Great Bedwyn station tonight at 19:30hrs.

Just had to park next to it to take pic

Metallic Grey outside and Cream leather inside; a few rust bubbles in the usual places, but looked pretty nice overall.

Saw yet another today, a shiny K reg. estate parked in a side road in Carbis Bay. There seemed to be a lot of other old Volvos about today too.
