Cheers - hope this works.

I see the blue and red one regularly at my local Tesco (Bournemouth) so couldn't help but park in between the other day. It's funny as we always park as far from the shop entrance as possible to avoid people parking close by, but of course the further away you are, the more people leave pesky trolleys nearby.

Everyone walking and driving by turned their heads.. by the time I was done shopping the blue one had gone. I wish we'd have all been perfectly next to each other but still made for a nice pic ;-)

Serious note though, is a Stubby one any better? Apart from looks?

I bet the owner of the Deep Sea Blue loved you parking right next to them when there were other spaces available :poke: interesting to note that the M a Sport the reflector in the bumper sits considerably higher than the non M Sport version. Never noticed that until now

RRS V8 Supercharged - Gone
Abarth 595 Competizione - Gone
