Yesterday morning on the way to work:
- Black Holden HQ Kingswood sedan. Sounded like it was a V8. 8-)
- Shabby grey Series II or IIA Land Rover.
- Alfa Romeo Alfetta - Red of course.
- Silver Volvo 245 Wagon
- Yellow XD Ford Falcon Estate.
- White over orange VW Kombi Bay-Window. The driver and I both waved, I was in my Beetle. :)

Cheers,

I saw an old green VW Beetle (Couldn't see the number plate but it looked like a 1303). It was parked in the car park of Nevill Hall Hospital at Abergavenny (It's OK, I was just passing).
