Saw two today!
I sold my car last week so I'm driving around in my OH's 2008 Fiesta, saw this giant Volvo coming towards me and then I clicked what it was! Looks SO good with the headlights on, I really liked how it didn't blind me considering how much lower I am than it.
This was in Bexhill town centre

Then on the link road from Bexhill to Hastings, saw another one. Both in Bursting Blue which seems like a very popular colour in this area.

I just can't wait to get mine now.

I popped out to get a take out yesterday evening, was proper surprised to see a white one parked up in the little street in Stockton Heath, Warrington. No one around though. First one I have seen (other than pjm007) since getting mine!

I saw a white one on the A264 around Copthorne travelling East on Saturday morning.

But before that it's been weeks since I last saw one.

Saw a grey one on the A22 at Felbridge heading south
Saw a white one on the A22 at Felbridge heading north
Saw a white one on the M23 J9 Spur going towards Gatwick South Terminal
Saw a red one on the M40 heading south long before that

So I think that's 5 in the wild.

Plus I've seen a grey one pre-PDI outside nearest Dealer and they have a blue demonstrator on the forecourt too.
Eastbourne dealer had at least 4 when I visited there in May, a red one in the showroom, a white and blue one outside and white pre-PDI one in the car park.

Up to owning mine last week, I had not seen one at all. On the day of ownership, the dealer had two demonstrators - one was an Amazon Blue Momentum, and one was a Fusion Red FE. The display car (sold!) was an Osmium Grey FE with no washers and on 19" wheels.

After ownership, I've seen one Amazon Blue Momentum in the wild and a FE in Osmium Grey in one of the parks at The Lakes...so I parked next to it...

I’m guessing Fell Foot Park? The Grey is an interesting combo - 19” plus HCS. Presumably ordered as that.

Close - did go there but it was a bit further east at Sizergh Castle.

I am obviously wearing blinkers as still on a duck. On some road trips soon so perhaps might see some of you guys and your new toys shortly.
