Default Never noticed...

Hope everyone is well.

Having had to self isolate this week due to being tested positive for covid, I live on a main road with a lot of footfall where I can see who's walking past my car.

I'm surprised by how many people walking by other cars don't pay attention then walk by my car and actually slow down and look in it and smile.

Thats been making me feel good while got this flipping virus.

Good news is not had bad symptoms so thats one thing.

Something not too dissimilar happened to me a few months ago.

Just getting out of my car, at my local, two ladies (in their 30's possibly) were walking out.

I clearly heard one say "Oh a Rover, be nice to get one these for my wedding"

Can't remember if I was in the Saloon or Tourer.

Regards

Mike

Cool

Banana is well know here in Saltash, I get people waving to me. Plus she gets lots of compliments wherever she goes.

In the old days, they'd just settle for a husband.
