‘Run Of The Mill’, But Curious For Some Reason

Monday 19th

I see this Mondeo on an almost daily basis, when heading to work, but it’s usually on the driveway, with another vehicle in front of it
It’s a ‘daily driver’

I know his wife, but not the chap

I parked my mini next to a Aygo today, it made the Aygo look huge 🤣

A 'real' Mini, presumably?

Wednesday 28th

I’ve seen this van before (think it features in this thread, but in the dark), & ‘sort of’ noticed something that colour parked up on a side street
Riding home last night, l came to it from the other end, & had a look

If you look carefully, there’s a photo/wrap(?) of Shaggy & Scooby on the side window

On our first visit to Paris we parked the car and trailer on a boulevard side road very close to the arc de triomphe roundabout. Walking to the arch we walked past a white, small french hatch. It was fairly new I think but had quite a few low speed accidents such that the wasn't a single panel without at least 10 small dents.

Each and every dent, scratch or other mark had been decorated and "enhanced" by a black marker pen. A circular dent was turned into a daisy. Others into stick people or animals. They all matched the dent or mark perfectly. Definitely French attitude in a car. Back then the French drivers seemed to attract dents on cars in paris. It was a long time ago.

Am I daft to be interested by this, particularly if it doesn't go much higher: https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1974-atlantis-motor-company-a1-8WaWmn

It's based upon Jag XJ 4.2 bits, so tested mechanicals. But ...

It's way better looking than its American counterpart, the Excalibur. Some of the early (rare) Excaliburs were decent-looking, but by the end they looked ridiculous.
