For some reason more 5 Series BMW's. Usually driven by middle aged men who've stuck M badges to them !

SLK's. No wonder considering the current lease prices.

I've seen a large increase in black Mercs being driven aggressively like utter tw*ts - no particular model.

Seen a few new SLKs too.

Read an article on Audi A2 's not so long back , don't know if it's a coincidence but I've noticed quite a few in the last few weeks.

Funny thing is that they have all looked like being in mint condition.

This happened to me a month ago in Cornwall. I saw an MG6, I commented to the missus that it was only the 2nd one I'd sever seen. Further along the same road we saw another 3 of them! I couldn't see a dealership anywhere so can only assume they were privately owned.

This isn't Grand Theft Auto. wink

You are right though, since getting my Ralliart I have seen quite a few, I've counted at least four in York. Seems a lot when How Many Left says there is more Gallardos registered in the UK than Lancer Ralliarts.

Seen loads of new Kia Cee'ds since the arrival of '62'.

Evoque. I know they are new but they appear to have been bought by everyone.

eek That really is a good deal, surely you could run one for a couple of years and get rid of it without losing a penny with that sort of deal?

ETA: Just read the deal and you get 15,000 free miles which is £2,410.

I've seen about 4 MG6's in about a month, they all had an 'MG.co.uk' sticker on back though.
