[CaptainK]

I spot at least one every day - my own ! :lol:

Seriously though, being in Exeter and often Kingsteignton I see FTOs are as common as Fiestas. :?

A person who lives up the road from my missus suddenly got an FTO after a year of me parking nearby. They must of thought "owww... nice, I'll get one".

[blackbird]

Quite a few about where I live - Nailsea, Portishead, Bristol area.

Going on the spotted posts though none of them ever seem to be members :?

[littlebigrob]
