Saw a few this weekend - excluding the breakfast run before anyone says!

Saturday, Guildford, nr Pond Meadow (not far from Hospital) - VR just coming off the mini round about on the road to Woodstreet village.

Today - was in the rx8 and saw a 56 plate PZ in grey and 55 (i think) plate in black at the hookwood tesco car wash when I picked mine up!

Then in the Mazda2 on the A246 nr bookham, passed a winning blue heading towards leatherhead this evening (circa 6-7pm).

Well I'm just as invisible apparently... though I've seen you a couple of times on the A350 nr Melksham but always forget to write on here! And you overtake my husband (in his white van) on the M4 most days.

That is, unless Wiltshire has a hidden stash of Nemeses (is there a plural of Nemesis?) :lol:
07 Sparkling Black Kuro (303) - strakes, private plate. Definitely getting front numberplate lowered - soon!

The 'practical' vehicle is a 1986 petrol Land Rover... I think it does worse mpg than the Rex but I try to not count!

Turn right where you saw the Kuro and look in the school car park up the road! It's always there Monday to Friday 8.15 - 6.00! :( Thieves don't even think about it as there are over 200 guard dogs.. ahem, I mean children, watching!
