Can't think of anyone on here who'd want an orange NSU !
Sadly no longer a C5 owner

I suspect the main candidate is up to his ankles in mud as we speak!

This passed me today... Making a gorgeous noise... Looked very expensive!
Not a clue what it is... I don't think it's French...
Pleased to see the driver knows how to safely pass a cyclist

Those tail lights suggest it might be a McLaren.

This morning I discovered the driver was a fellow cyclist who both knows me and recognised me as he passed me

These look so small now next to modern cars, but this example looks good in white with some shiny chrome. Note the characteristic bit of fluid drippage accumulating in the small puddle underneath.

I am very surprised that my Mini Cooper post has caused more comment than my last post here!!?
