I might take you up on that Andrew. My impression was that MK2s were indeed 
more likely to be seen in London than where I live. I only saw three while I 
was there and an equal number of Corrados. This impression may not be 
accurate because I spent so much time in the underground minding the gap and 
all that. I was on a double decker briefly, but that got held up because 
some "wanker" had the wrong kind of pass and both he and the bus driver 
refused to move. So the bus got held up for 45 minutes. Interesting how 
people swear in London! By the end of the week I was starting to talk like 
that, especially since customs always gave me such a hard time. I must look 
like an Sein Fein terrorist or somthing. To be sure, it didn't help much 
when I didn't correctly understand where the security type told me where to 
go. Excellant response time, however.

Would your Scirocco happen to be grey, and do you drive near King's Cross?
