Default Is there a car that you see everywhere you go?

Just recently, EVERY time I go anywhere in my car I see one of these, in this colour:



It's getting weird, I've even started seeing them from my flat, parking up so that their owners can go for a stroll along the river (No it's not the same one each time ). Did this colour Escort out-live any other colour or what?

I remember a few years ago that my parents went through a phase of seeing a lorry loaded with wheelbarrows every time they went on the motorway

i do through a phase of seeing a certain car sometimes, eg. i might see an old shed chavved up rediculous primered 106 or something that i'll laugh at in the morning, then i'll see it throughout my day at different locations. it happens with odd looking people too. kinda freaks me out. (i work in a 400 square mile area)

Well not everywhere I go but there is one of each of these parked very near my house so I see them nearly every day.

The Alpine is a Yellow one parked under a carport usually with a 406 coupe blocking it in. Ive never seen it out except when the guy washes it and it does look mint.


The Silvia is an S12 Turbo and is parked on a drive, never seen it turn a wheel and looks a bit shabby. One of my mates had one of these in the early 90's and it went like ****


I'm very tempted to make the guy an offer for the Alpine, i'm sure its a turbo so I reckon anywhere between £8 -12 k

Polos and Merivas. The reason I notice is that they seem incapable of exceeding 45 mph I have never seen one exceeding the speed limit.

I'm not that old and forgetful

I thought I'd managed a journey without seeing it yesterday, then, half an hour in, there it was, passing in front of me on a roundabout

I'm off to the Highlands soon, if I see one everywhere I go up there then I really will start to worry

How do you see his jumper tucking technique if he's in his car?!
