Old cars spotted...?

[ChickenvanGuy]

I always notice if I see a make and model of car that I've owned. On visiting the Black Sheep Brewery in Yorkshire the other week, for instance, I pointed out a MkIV R32 to Mrs van Guy. Made up, she was...

Anyway, on my usual commute to work today I pass, as I always do, a local garage and MOT station and see a star silver Vectra GSi.

Don't see many of them now, thinks I, recalling that I had one from new from 2000 to 2003. That's very like my old one....

...in fact, that IS my old one! W551 NNP.

Made my day! If it's still there tomorrow I shall be popping in for a look and a little dig to see what the story is. Not everyone's cup of tea, the Vectra, but in GSi form I really rated and enjoyed it.

Gave me an unexpected little cheery feeling, seeing it again.

Anyone else come across an old motor out of the blue?

My eagle eyed PHer friend spotted my old Honda Civic and pointed it out to me. I only caught a glimpse of it as it drove past, but could see that it was sporting a new set of black alloys with a red lip. True story
