You never know Mike, it's straight and looks complete... No obvious damage to it....
If you fancy it I can point out where I found it

Well worth saving if possible I reckon!
Spotted very briefly as it went past in the opposite direction at about 16:30 on the A5/A422 roundabout just outside Milton keynes was what I reckon was a Pug 509. Dark blue or black, didn't get a proper look though as I was too busy trying not to get T-boned by the taxi who had just jumped a red light.

Quite a shocker that but it does happen, albeit rarely - some even use their indicators!CitroJim wrote:Yep, that'll be right Davie although yesterday down south-west I actually witnessed a taxi driver giving-way and generally driving with quality ad skilldaviemck2006 wrote:Miss out the Milton Keynes, and just say taxis![emoji49]CitroJim wrote:Ahh, Milton Keynes Taxis...

I came out of a shop yesterday to find a taxi - big white Mercedes people carrier thing, parked on the chevrons of a pelican crossing and the enormous driver entering the sandwich shop.
There is no parking on that road anyway, quite narrow and lots of heavy traffic on it but a huge car park 50' away behind the shop.

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
Well if nothing else it proved that my Xantia stops as unnervingly rapidly as it should if you stamp on the middle pedal.
Todays spot was seen just turning out the XScape car park about an hour ago was a Mk I Renault 25.
...darn near considered giving chase to see if they would sell it given how much I miss my R25 Monaco...

Re: Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)
No ABS in my case to worry about!
Saw another Xantia today I didn't recognise. Dark green metallic one heading towards Neath Hill from Conniburrow/Bradwell Common. I gave a wave, but was in the Skoda so probably just confused the driver (granted...think that car confuses everyone when they see a bright orange 80s Skoda Estelle on the road).
Anyone here?
