It is a solid red so may likely machine polish to look better, that would have taken some force to do that, unless it is a mark on the paint rather than in it.

Spotted in (one of) the work car-parks that l cut through this morning
As l approached it, with the lighting reflecting off it, l thought it was just condensation on it, until l got closer

Just had to drive over to daughters
As l joined the A61/Wakefield - Barnsley road, a ‘harlequin’ Golf came the other way
It was a later model, a 6??
I might be able to pull a still off the dashcam tomorrow afternoon?

I forget yesterday
Father-in-law told me he’d managed to sort out the scratch
I’ve not had a good look yet, or asked him what he did, but it looked okay yesterday afternoon when l got home from work

Subaru Legacy
Aldi
Wakefield Road/A645
Featherstone
(between Wakefield & Pontefract)
They seem to be getting rarer, as all the poachers/lampers seemed to use them, then not reclaim them if impounded
The drivers side wiper appeared to only have about 6” of rubber still attached to the carrier

I'm shopping for a new car, estate, come Feb 2025 and hadn't thought of these. I'll add them to the shortlist. Might be rare to find though by the sounds of it!

This year's MOT history a bit of a shocker
The past few years are also bad!

Just bear in mind the words of a former neighbour who bought an Impreza brand new, it was kept about 3 months, his exact words as to why it had gone was I've never had a car use as much petrol in my life

Oh it wouldn't be an Impreza, I was thinking of maybe a Legacy but I had a look last night and they are all out of my price range.
Completely out of my price range is one I also remembered about; Mitsubishi Galant VR4 Estate

How about a Volvo v70 T5?
Or a Skoda Octavia vrs?

Both great, Volvo's are especially good for trans-african tours I've seen.
Sadly both are out of my range but I am looking at the none performance/sporty models.
