...and what is it with only white 240's being spotted?
Are other shades invisible, or is it too hot in the summer to drive any non-white non-aircon car?

Parked near a very smart looking blue Estate yesterday afternoon in Bodmin Asda car park. Could have been on holiday, large roof rack and a well-filled luggage area.

White 240, A413 leaving Aylesbury towards Whitchurch/Buckingham. Flashed and waved at me. Suppose I should check me dashcam :-)

Was it you? Happened too quickly to get a good look at the car.

This was an F-registered silver estate, with GLE alloys, coming from Dutton onto the A49 southbound, towards Weaverham, at 08:00 yesterday. As the heading says, it's not a car I've seen before.
