Beige BX hatch spotted at the end of the Quedgeley bypass heading towards Tuffley. Didn't catch the reg, but it looked like a TG or R spec model.

Saw this car again today - driven by an older gentleman with a beard, with I assume his wife. Flashed and waved but got no response, but it does look like a well cared for car. Got a better look at it this time and it's a very late (g reg) RD model.

I hope not - I keep cutting mine off!

Mind you, at what length does stubble become a beard?
