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!

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.

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