inflation hits us all.  this building was number 57 just a few weeks ago, and now look at it.

1-7 then it all goes a bit strange.  not sure if the miniature is anything to by.  the little chap to the right is quite small too.

i used to spot loads of numbered foxton minis for you. i don't spend so much time in london these days so they are a bit rarer to my eyes. sorry about that.

david (seen here) has a very interesting piece of paper in his top pocket. everyone should blatantly display algebra as they go about their business

238 on Queen Anne Street - one of the most prolific photo opportunity streets in london (for me at least)

Vin sent me this fantastic picture of a massive stock of numbered minis. he writes:

Thought you might like to see this - a nest of Foxton's Minis, seen looking south from the Piccadilly line passing through Chiswick. How many Minis can you count?

another new look foxton mini. i guess they've all been redone ?

http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/stuff3/2006/05/DSC09702-thumb.jpg

looks like the foxtons minis have a new livery. here's my first spot yesterday evening. it's 272.

i'm slowly collecting photos of all the Foxton's numbered cars. i've still a long way to go though.

my initial attempt at a photo was thwarted by this passing taxi, but i still managed to capture the number through the window (whilst the taxi was moving)

regular reader vin sent me this great photo of our favourite minis. he writes:

Today I saw 333 chasing 260 through Brentford. Had to give chase
myself but couldn't get any closer than this - they are very nippy. I
felt like I was in the Italian Job. I found them parked later, but
this shot conveys something of the thrill of the chase.

and here's one from keith who spotted 369 in the car park of Beaulieu motor museu /abbey /palace in the New Forest, quite a long way from its London home

matt, funkypancake's web-landlord, spotted number 133 and gave chase. he saw it in amersham which is about 30 miles away from london.

i think brother edd spotted a stash of them in a car park in guildford which means matt's don't gain the prize for the most remote (unless my geography is completely out which wouldn't surpise any of us!)

last seen on the move

http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/stuff3/2005/10/DSC06032-thumb.jpg

here's 414. i also spotted 463 yesterday but i was getting some money out for my evening paper so didn't catch it before it zoomed round the corner. my mistake. sorry.

DSC05531%20-%20084.jpg

this was a real 'quick on the draw' picture as i saw this mini come zooming round the corner. i'm regularly very impressed by how quick my camera starts up ready for picture taking. hoorah for it.

http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/stuff3/2005/10/DSC02734-thumb.jpg

it's number 244. and so is the photo number from my camera which is a bit of a bizarre coincidence.

i love taking pictures of the numbered minis. it's great how they unexpectedly appear round a corner and zoom along the street i'm walking down.

i have to grab for my camera from it's holster and shoot without thinking. it's great when i get a nice one with a blurred background and the car in focus like this.

it's my own special video game.
