Many had gone into hibernation for the winter.

Best to avoid the Mazda Dissolver that they spread on the roads...

I am pretty sure that was the number plate of this RX8 I saw drive past me and park up in the Pinner station car park. I couldn't get a proper shot of the number plate as the train was coming !!

Less and less, sadly.

There is a blue one near my Mum's home in West Moors, Dorset.

Always makes me a little sad not to have mine anymore.
