    Also saw a Metro on Saturday, but not that many.
    
    Mark

    I saw one.
    
    A 1.6l Vauxhall Cavalier ;-)
    
    There is talk about only 380,000 cars being registered during this
    August. Down from the projected 400,000.

    Saw a K reg Merc 300 convertible 'parked' on the hard shoulder of the
    M3 on Saturday morning with wisps of smoke/steam coming out of the
    engine bay.

    Saw a K reg BMW with trade plates on Friday.
    
    This morning on the M25 saw a PUG 405 and a Vauxhall 
    Astra 1.4 Si.
    
    Not as many as I expected to see.

    series with a puncture this morning.

    XR2i 16v in a delightful blue colour.

    	Gary!
    		Long time no grief!.I must admit after driving the new XR2i
    16v I was impressed,because it's not a "KEV" car,(unlike escort RS
    turbo's :^).It's smooth,responsive and very smart.
    	
    	At 11.5k it's yours.
    
    	Andy....   ;^)

    today. She told me yesterday ........ first I knew of it -- & she's
    spending my money!

RE: -.1

You were lucky. When I came back from DECworld in '88 I offered someone on the
plane a lift because my wife and children were coming to pick me up in the
VW Camper.

Imagine my suprise when she turned up in a Renault 5 that she had bought
herself whilst I was away - terribly embarrassing! Still we got 3 adults, 2
children and the baggage inside (just)!

    Just remembered that I saw a new style Honda CRX on Saturday with a K
    plate.
    
    However as it read 'K1 AUG' I don't know how real it was!

    Vauxhall Viva on the A27... m'vllous

Only seen three so far.

One on Friday (31st July). No trade plates on that I could see. Not even
perched inside the front/rear screens. Wonder what was going on?

the other two, seen on Saturday, near Windsor

BMW 300SL-24 (driven by a middle aged woman, doing about 25 mph!)

Ferrari Testarossa (sp?) (You should have seen the smile on the drivers
face as he overtook everyone else!)

Apart from those, haven't seen any more, but those last two were enough!

Steve.

    There I was just trundling up the A4 on Saturday lunchtime thinking to
    myself that I hadn't seen a single K-reg, when all of sudden about four
    came around the corner - a Cavalier; Citroen; Metro and a Nissan. I
    couldn't believe it !
    
    Then as I came into Reading the traffic slowed up and a que was
    forming for an accident ahead. A K-reg Granada estate had pulled out
    in front an old banger which made quite a mess of the Granada. I felt
    so sorry for the young lady driving it, must of been all of two hours
    old !

Somebody here in Newbury parked their bright red Rover 21? K reg ragtop next
 to my Rover 214.

It is now sitting a respectable distance away.

Looks nice with the hood down...

    
    It didn't look bad with it up! :^)
    
    Nice looking paintwork.

    Comming home from a party on saturday in London I saw 4 new k's. A
    200sx, an escort, a new crx, and a MR2 in a great metallic light blue.
     Have seen many more since...A friend of mine (27 years old..the lucy
    sod) has just taken delivery of his new 300ce Merc...I must be in the
    wrong job..
    

    >sod) has just taken delivery of his new 300ce Merc...I must be in the

    Seen at lunchtime, nearly Asda in Lower Earley:

    K 19 CAB

    on a very smart Renault 19 16V cabriolet, with the roof down and a
    smug looking driver ...

    Hi,	
    	I belive the New Red 216 (??) Cab. here at Newbury belongs to
    Gary Critchlow... Very Nice it is too..... Gary
    
    
    Regards,
    	
    	Stu.

 Well up here in sunny Herts I have so far seen,
one K Sierra [ heaven knows why ]
3-4 K BMW 3 series
a few K rover 2xx
 and one K BMW 320 coupe in our car park at WLO and thats just about 
it.
I hope I'm going to be proved wrong but, I think this august will 
prove to have been a disaster for K reg cars.

Also, I heard that car fleet are not sending orders off to Hertz/PHH 
at the moment. I wonder if this is so that H and P can strike a real 
hefty discount on all the unsold cars there must be lurking out there.
If thats true I bet the discount wont get passed onto us in lower 
lease costs.

BTW is there a notes file on AUDI's ?? I'm due a new car in Sept and 
thought I might go for something decent before the Govt decide to 
scrapp company cars for good.

    I am the proud owner of a K reg SAAB 9000 CS XS - shiny red!
    
    No extras, the CD and Air Con are standard. Not quite the raw powerof
    my old BX 16Valve, but a much better drive. 
    
    If anyone is interested, Derek at SAAB Reading is VERY helpful. Give
    him a call and tell him I reccomended him. I get a cup of coffee for
    each reccommendation!
