That is clearly a case of Northumbrian
spawn coming home to roost!!

I guessed the CX Prestige but it was a bit short. Didn't look at the Safari/Familiale, just expected them to be the same.
They did have the reputation of being the longest European car made.
The loadrunner would be longer of course.

That sounds good enough for me, but I'm no Peugeot expert should have got the camera out quicker to get the reg number, just looked looked a nice car in a nice colour, not the usual rubbish as they say cringingly in car adverts!

While looking at that wheresthisthen here is a proper whatsthisthen which I mentioned in the countys thread but it has got lost without any answers. So here is a screenshot from my video on that thread and the question is "What is the green squarish object on the bottom of the tree trunk?"

Yes I didn't exactly conseal the evidence there did I? I posted it without blowing it up myself and didn't realise the name was all over it. I'll put up a couple more views now on POTD!!

As for the green box, no not a bug hotel of any sort!!

Your green box is going to continue as an unsatisfying untied up loose end. Close up it appears to be tapering pyramid internally. I will not come up with anything better than a pest ultrasonic scarer, some kind of speaker/horn or some kind of infra red motion detector housing.

Just need the reveal!
