It comes in very hand, but even with CCTV footage when a crime has been committed my local police still say "There is nothing we can do about it" :censored:

I have a cctv camera that I don't use, but I think I would get funny looks if I set it up at work and pointed it at the office car park! :lol:

It's quite odd that your office dosent cover its own car park, especially with the Big Brother society we live in now. I always park my car near a camera, especially in London Car Parks or rough areas and in NCP's :D

Security...you're joking! I only get to park on it once every 6 weeks anyway. My employer is not renowned for their generosity.

Happy counting - do we need to put a running commentary on each sighting ?

I don't see why not, it makes things more interesting! :D

Battleship grey...is that like the grey they did the TT in? I think they called that aviator grey though?

Glad you got the tyre and wheel fixed Ollie and managed to get back on the road to make the most of the good weather you're having.

My car isn't as bad as the ones you describe but I'll have to get the bucket out in a bit as we're still on a hosepipe ban here...even though it's not stopped raining since it came into force!

Photos are a great idea as long as we don't upset anyone. Probably be wise to blank out the reg's too.

I think we should promote the site guys, what do you think? There's loads of us 206cc'ers out there and it would be great for us all to share our stories. Might even get a few more waves when we spot each other too! If you do a search on the subject, there used to be site promo stickers but they ran out ages ago, anyone "arty"?

There is a pdf for making "spotted" cards in the Uploader part of the site which you can leave on any you see while out on your travels.

I dunno it was really wierd, it was darker and warmer, I say battleship grey more as my own personal description. It really was an amazing colour, I didnt realise grey could be so attractive especially on a 206cc.

I suppose this has to be it:

Although my eyes saw it more like this:

I actually gasped when I saw it :o :D

EDIT:
I found the PDF there not bad, be a drain on your colour ink, I will print a sheet off, I could of left one on the silver one in Tesco car park :D

Yep thats the one Ollie, it's only on 2005 models onwards and not a particularly common colour, though I rather like it! :D

Toyota call a very similar colour 'Storm Grey', and Honda call their version 'Gun Metal Grey'. I'm actually unsure of Peugeot's name for the colour, which is unusual! :O

EDIT:I'm not sure if that image is working, when I'm on a computer later today I'll fix it

'Gun Metal Grey'.
I am sure this was the name for the colour of my Peugeot 205, maybe thats how I came up with Battle Ship Grey :question:
I think I have bamboozled myself :o

Only 2 silver for me today but not been far. I used to think the Aegean blue was the most common colour around here but now I think it's definitely silver...though none are as gorgeous as mine! :D
