During my normal walk to town for lunch today I had a real freaky moment, I walked out of Waitrose only to find my just outside in car in the car park!

Well at first glance it appeared to be my car, upon closer inspection it was a year newer (X reg) and had black leather instead of tan. What are the chances of that? Guess I'm not the only one with light green mk2 V6 exclusive after all.

Anyone else had a freaky moment like that?
Not with odd collection of old s**t I drive lol! :lol:

Yes, with my Ford though. I thought I saw a clone coming the other way. Same make, same model (except mine was saloon and this was hatch but I couldn't determine that head-on), same colour and same registration bar one number but again, I didn't see that until another day when I met the driver and owner in a local car park. Wish I'd taken a photo now but it was quite unnerving thinking the car you are driving is also coming toward you on the other side of the road.

I remember hearing about a Capri owner who came out of Tescos, got in his car and drove off. As he was about to leave the car park he thought to himself "I don't remember having furry dice" and realised he wasn't in his car!
