NLC: Unusual Spots

Spotted a Honda Insight parked up after taking the dogs out for their walk.

Unfortunately not Harry Metcalfe as it was this lovely shade:

Similar shade to a Citroen colour that they gave their top of the range VTS - sure it must look ok in decent sunlight

Had the misfortune to see my first BMW X4 today - Why did someone think that was a good idea?

Due to it probably selling by the bucket load and put a use to the X3 variants chassis's which don't sell now.

yes, his brother has a blue one. Nice company car?

Someone tried to brake into it on Wednesday night and steal it, they smashed the windscreen and side window £2500 to repair.

Vauxhall Insignia VXR - reasonably rapid but showed him that a white BMW can easily keep pace on the motorway slip road. However I think I gave him the frightners as soon as he spotted me in my rear view mirror it was down to 70mph.

My most unusual spot ever (and can't find any info on the manufacturer) was in the Edinburgh Meadows area with a car called a PEO? It was on a G plate so can't be that old but have not even heard of them. Must be worth a healthy does of points on the "I-Spy" book? The car looked like an old Renault 4 in design.

George, I wasn't an FSO Polonez by any chance?

Nope, definitely not as I know that manufacturer. Annoyed that I did not take a picture now

Phew, thanks for putting me out of my misery (although getting a letter wrong did not help)
