He's cranky because Newcastle couldn't beat leeds
As I suspected I was right about everything.

He's always cranky as his bollock trolley is still being developed. Rumour has it the bowling balls they're testing it with keep on bending the axle.

Didn't get a pic but today I was behind a 2019 fiat tipo with boot. The rear lights were quite cool but I didn't know what it was till I got close at the lights. Boggo spec with trims once I got past.
This one was metallic dark blue but here's a white one.

I though it was a rental company badge on a regular boring normal suv.
But no, it's a thing. My client rented it at CGD airport.

As a contrast a Renault 4 went by on the opposite side of the road a few seconds later.

Everything else is modern/ish stodge.
Well as most people in your part of the World drive Mobility cars or untaxed Mitsubishi L200s , the Jag was Tom and the R4 would have been Wuvvum. So who the fuck was in the Evoque?
No, this was in Es Castell in Minorca.
That XJ81 in Menorca may have been an Insignia. There is one on the island originally sold in Barcelona and now resides somewhere around Alaior. Possibly the ice cream guy (does those lovely citrus ones).

I think I’ve posted this before. It belongs to a 23 year old tech who owns all the Saabs. Along with this one he’s got a 99 Turbo and a barn full of others he’s restoring. His grandfather owned the Saab dealership in Ipswich so it’s obviously rubbed off on him. His daily driver is a late Saab estate.

I've seen you post old Saabs before, not sure if it was that one or not.

Saw a corker on the way home last night, I am hoping it is local somewhere as it needs a proper look and I only saw it through about three streams of going-home traffic.....

HB Viva Estate with Magnum front. I couldn't see whether the front wings and bonnet were modified or actually off a Magnum but it didn't sound like it was still wheezing along on 1159ccs. Really looked the bollocks, I had forgotten how pretty they are.
There's a great long bar in Rock & Roll heaven.......

Years ago we fitted a droop snoot Firenza front end to an HB estate, it looked pretty good. HB Vivas were once my choice of cheap runabouts, I think the most expensive was 65 quid. None of them gave me any grief. Also had an FD estate, bit pricey at 100 quid, that served me faithfully for 2-3 years with no bother. They are nice looking cars.
