Yes, within half a mile of each other. I’ve seen the van parked in that spot a few times but never seen the Cupra before.

CH13KEN

On a nondescript VW (Polo? Haven’t checked)

Seemed like a missed opportunity to have it on something more appropriate - like a Los Pollos Hermanos delivery truck or something - but it made me smile.

Pretty sure they have a decent tight turning circle on them, so perhaps so.

The reason it's like that is because they're a fucking atrocious parker and couldn't be arsed actually finishing their manoeuvre.

I hope you were in that specific location for an ice cream not to go to the new Rockfish.

No, grabbed a pasty and a beer further into town.

Also saw a G Wagon heading towards the Winking Prawn with the plate W1 NKN.

The owners also have the plate P7AWN which used to be (and I think still is) on a Punto cabrio. I've seen 54ND down there before too on that i3. A pretty good place for car sporting.

Oh, and Salcombe Dairy Ice Cream remains the best in the world. We went and sat outside every day, even in the rain. I hate cholocate ice cream but theirs is so divine it's one of my go-tos.

I had a walk to the Post Office earlier and spotted 1 SWW parked in the village on a Ford Kuga.

According to the DVLA it sold in 2005 for £11500.

We had it onboard for quite a few years (before we had to go non-dairy) and the poor guy who owns it, being a perfectionist, wouldn’t let anyone else produce it, something about ice-crystals I recall.. he bought a freezer truck and ended up spending more time driving to London and back than working and looked properly stressed when I met him!
Cheers,

Oh gosh, I didn't know it had reached the skies. Was that BA? There have been a couple of places I could buy it in the Midlands over the years - in the 90s anyway, not more recently - but I've not seen it widely available at all.

EB1 seems fairly well priced really for the average Bugatti owner, GTR1 too - surely here’s quite a few billionaires with a GTR of some kind.

Reg numbers in general are quite cheap here compared to other places.
How about not having a sig at all?

It appears to be missing all of America too. They also have plates that go for millions of $
