Sounds very likely to be the famous steed of the Doc to me. 8)

Yep, that's Doc's! How come I never get spotted when I'm down in Bristol?

If you parked 10 yards from my house as doc did I imagine I'd spot you...

I wouldn't worry about it Mat, there's quite a few of us around these parts, and for years I never spotted anyone - in the last few months I've suddenly managed to spot both Doc and Themildbunch twice, and I think I ended up chatting to Doc senior at one of the local filling stations. There are others round here though that I only ever see when they are at the Weston's for work!

yarp, that was me, visiting my mate whose been off sick for months, which is bad, because she's our canteen lady. Hence I've been living on crap for months and getting fat!
Mike, I believe you did indeed speak to my Dad, he said he saw another BXer in the John Stayte the other week.
Where I ran into (not literally) Brian King a couple of weeks before that. Stroud and Bristol, the centre of the BX universe!

Brian's are the ones that I only ever seem to see at Tony's. There's used to be a couple of estates (a white RD and a red TGD) kicking round Gloucester, but I thing the red one is the car now in Harry Bucklands, while I've not seen the white one for over a year.

I see a silver estate often, and now and then a nice looking beige Mk1 but numbers are dwindling..

The West Midlands is a Bx desert. I think the last one I saw was a red estate in Walsall about two years ago.

One or two BX's still pottering around the Lancaster area, quite a few Xantia's and the occasional Ami.
