A black BMW Z1 this morning. It was utterly filthy and obviously an unloved, daily hack. Very bizarre. I wonder if the doors still wind down properly.
And talking of filthy, I was almost driven off the road last night by the filthiest car I've ever seen - it was a 56 plate VW Phaeton with broken bumpers at both ends, and the blackest, dirtiest alloys imaginable. The rest of the bodywork was utterly caked in mud and filth, and was being driven by a stripy shirted gentleman who was texting as he drove at quite alarming speeds. It swerved out of a layby on the A404(M) without looking, cutting me up and nearly swiping me into the car which was overtaking me in the outside lane at the time. It must live on the motorway I suppose, but still it was a very sad thing to see. I wonder what someone had paid for that car in 2006, only for it to be so thoroughly abused. I very much doubt the driver had any of his own cash "invested" in it.
