Saturday 1st


I saw this last week, but didn’t have the chance to turn around to photograph it

Apologies, not the best shot

Sunday 26th

I’ve just driven into work, behind a new (‘74’) Dacia Duster
It looks rather good

It's occured to me the other day, I'm surprised Dacia have never made a pickup truck.
(Go on, someone prove me wrong... )

In the very early days, when their sole model was based on the Renault 12, l think they did?

Dacia couldn't match a pickup's refinement

Yes, based on the Renault 12

Wednesday 22nd

I spent about 2 hours earlier, vacuuming the interior/wiping all surfaces/washing it/scrubbing the alloys of SWMBOs Q3, as it’s being sold
(the ’free’ Corsa ought to be going soon, to a family member, as her first car)

Plus ‘M plate’ in white (different shape)

EP82 shape?

No, this shape
We had one, for a while, in the late 90s/very early 2000s
(ours was red too)

My bad.

The white car I posted and the red are the same, P80 chassis.

EP81 being the European version and the EP82 posted above was the JDM spec.

I'd buy that just for the number plate

Klingon, or Romulan?

Friday 7th

Interesting graphics on a van, when l had to go up to the caravan site earlier!

Friday 7th

After going to the caravan site, l had to go straight into Wakefield (A1 > ‘HookMoor’ > M1)
On my way home, a Vauxhall car pulled out of the main-dealer, at Wakefield Bridge
It had an illuminated horizontal stripe, & ‘Vauxhall’ was also lit
No idea what model it was?

I don’t recall seeing an illuminated badge on anything but a ‘3-pointed star’ on a M-B tractor-unit

Plus; when did Vauxhall stop using the Griffin? (or was it a Wyvern?)

It's a griffin, and they still use it.

I suspect what you saw was an after-market mod.
