    Afternoon all!

    I feel I should receive some kinda points for my successful Copen spotting day!?

    Parked behind a grey one on Bristol Rd by the ROHospital this morning (left note which is probably a soggy wet mess on the wiper - apologies but you are the first I have encountered and had a pen to leave note)

    Drove past a guy driving a silver one as I passed the garage by the QE in Selly Oak (thinking about it - hopefully he didn't see my pathetic, frantic waving but was quite excited to see 2 in one day)

    Drove past another silver one about 15 mins later by Rowley Regis train station driven by another guy who I flashed but I think he was trying to dodge traffic so not looking at the line of traffic I was sitting in!

    Quite chuffed to see so many of us out and about on the streets of Brum!
    I just wonder if anyone else has spotted a few while on their travels in one journey?

    I did see two in one day. I often see a silver copen travelling down Bagnal Road in Basford, and once I saw a yellow copen in Moorgreen

    Wow!

    I've seen 2 in one day, one which was parked on someone's drive - If that counts!
    Good spotting!!:cool:

    Haha! Three in one day! Well, I've spotted three in Whitehaven since ... umm ... November: silver (like Neville), champagne and today :D a grey one on an 09 plate. I wanted to stop and leave a note on it, but was on a mission :(. So, no, even spotting one in a day makes it feel like a red-letter day - they're rare beasts! ;)

    I live very near to Rowley and drive a silver Copen, but it wasn't me you saw because mines still in the garage!
    I know of another copen which is champagne colour, also close by

    SilverRollerskate I am keeping my eyes peeled for the champagne one as they are my favourite colour Copen - exciting!
    DaG the flashing issue is possibly a moment of insanity of Copen spotting excitement (I surprised myself):eek: - don't forget I can boast that in total I did see 5 Copens that day but two are sitting on my driveway so they don't really count! x

    I waved to a Copen coming towards me a while back and the female driver looked at me like I was Fred West. :(
    I don't do that anymore, unless the driver waves first of course.

    Didn't take you long to reply with one of those spectacular barbs of wit.
    If I see you coming towards me I won't wave, I will put certain fingers up though.:D

    Knowing you area's fishing culture, it will probably be fishfingers. That is you can manage it with how your face is so close to the windscreen when you are driving. :p
