Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

I saw that garage in his video as well - it'd be a tough choice which of the three vehicles to take home..... but I think I could have most fun with the Stally

Nice surprise at South Acomb Farm at the Bywell Coffee Barn, a classic Citroen in the car park.

That is, in my humble, the very best colour scheme for a 2CV

Re: I-Spy Classic Cars/Bikes-What have you spotted?
Spotted during my morning run today...
A rare car now... And so is the Ka next to it... Both were irresistible to the old tinworms...
Had I done as I intended and just went for a very short run, I'd have never have seen this... I did about four times the distance I planned and this was the reward

Now if number 147 on that street with the grey door, had an orange door that would have required an entry on "Familiarity Phenomenon and other unlikely co-incidences" viewtopic.php?p=766408#p766408

Re: I-Spy Classic Cars/Bikes-What have you spotted?
I had an Orion Ghia 1.6 from new in 1983 which I loved but I had to give it up in exchange for 2 cars when the wife decided to learn to drive, I exchanged it for a Mini City for her and the Lancia Beta convertible for me. Interesting to note that that particular car is badged as an Escort, a result of poor sales under the Orion name perhaps?

Thinking on, if I did, I think I may well end up a good candidate for being carted off by the men in white coatsNewcastleFalcon wrote: 31 Aug 2023, 13:44If only JimCitroJim wrote: 31 Aug 2023, 09:49 During my run tomorrow I'll knock on their door and ask if they'll paint it orange Neil...

Above and beyond the call of duty I feel, though undoubtedly it would be a superbly-crafted piece of odd behaviour, one we could all celebrate, and a bit of reflected glory for the "orange door" seed I planted.

Too expensive for the under 10k thread but the colour alone qualifies this for a mention in my view:
