I thought it was a Datsun 240 or 260.

I'll go back and take another so you can see its profile (there was a lorry in the way for that shot).

They are basically :lol: the thinnest molecules of dew on the road and it was like canoeing on the roundabout even at low speeds. Got Goodriches on the back now, best tyres I've ever had.
