Coming up on DVLA as a "Foster", with date of first registration being June 1992. This was a most unexpected spot as I was driving home from work yesterday. Will try and put some older stuff up tomorrow, I just haven't found the time to keep up with Flickr as much recently so the backlog is growing!
The last spot in China. Seemingly not very special, but relatively old for Chinese standards in Shanghai, hatchback and color made it stand out.

Three door, front wheel drive version of the HR-V with the 1.6-litre engine.
It appears to have the original dealer number plates from Derek Warwick on the front.
Voiture-pilote en tĂŞte et locomotive "1349" en pousse, l'IC 2116 arrive Ă Ciney.
En raison de travaux divers, il ne s'agit pas d'un classique "Bruxelles-Midi - Luxembourg" mais d'un "Bruxelles-Nord - Arlon" qui a, par ailleurs, été détourné via les lignes 144 et 130 entre Gembloux et Namur.

UPDATE on paint-peeling issue with my Honda HRV, email received on 3 November 2021. So annoying, as two spots can barely be seen and the main peeling is just one patch maybe 3" by 1". I hate to think how many weeks (months?) this could take! There is no way I can be without a vehicle for that long, so I may be forced into using a temporary car from Honda - a Honda Civic, I believe. I dread having to drive a strange vehicle, which is why I originally said no. I would only use it to get to my local shopping area.
"Our technicians have removed the tape from the vehicle and found that every other panel except for one door has peeled paint on them. At this point I will have to do up multiple additional estimates based on the bulletin to submit to Honda for approval.
This is good news and bad news for you. The good news is we have exposed the problem so you we will be able to address all of the issues at once without you having this become a recurring issue over and over. The bad news is that a relatively straightforward repair has now turned into essentially a complete vehicle refinish. Because of the substantial increase in labour hours we will have your vehicle with us for quite some time.
I will get the estimates written up and submitted to Honda for approval and once I have that back I will follow up with you."

Four odds and ends from my archives, I am adding the description that I wrote under a different image taken on the same outing.
""If you’ve gone looking for raptors on a clear day, your heart has probably leaped at the sight of a large, soaring bird in the distance– perhaps an eagle or osprey. But if it's soaring with its wings raised in a V and making wobbly circles, it's likely a Turkey Vulture. These birds ride thermals in the sky and use their keen sense of smell to find fresh carcasses. They are a consummate scavenger, cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked bill at a time, and never mussing a feather on their bald heads." From AllABoutBirds.
"What vultures lack in looks, they make up for with brains and an affectionate, fun-loving nature. Ramona VanRiper, Turkey Vulture Society president, can vouch for vultures being sweet and personable because she's known several, including one named Clem. "Vultures raised by humans learn quickly to love and trust us," she says, "and will often respond to human attention long after they have successfully reassimilated into their natural communities."

This particular bird resides at the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre in Coaldale, southern Alberta, a wonderful place that rehabilitates and releases (whenever possible) various birds of prey - hawks, owls, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, and Golden Eagle. Some of these birds act as Wildlife Ambassadors, too, educating the public.
Over the last few years, I have seen three or four Turkey Vultures flying very high overhead within the city of Calgary, which was a thrill. Too far away to see any detail at all, which is why I love going to this Centre, to see raptors up close.
It had been a few years since my last visit there - I had been maybe three or four times - and I had been longing to go back. Much too far and all new driving territory for me to even think about driving there myself. However, on 9 September 2016, that is exactly what I did. A friend had said she would come along, too, but she emailed me at 1:00 am that morning to say that she assumed the trip had been cancelled, as she hadn't heard back about the time to meet. In fact, I had sent two emails giving the time, so I don't know what happened there. Very unfortunate, as it would have been great to have had company on such a long drive and I know she would have had lots of fun with her camera.
I knew it would be a long day and further than I would normally drive - and in a brand new car that I had/have yet to learn to drive! It didn't look or feel quite as new after travelling 481 km! Only got lost twice, one minor and the other major. Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere down south and I ended up in Lethbridge, that I had very carefully planned to avoid. After three and three-quarter hours, I finally arrived at my destination, to my huge relief.
Despite getting there later than I had hoped, I still had more than enough time to wander round the grounds and photograph the various raptors. Some were tethered out in a couple of grassy areas and others were in large outdoor cages. Wonderful to get such a close look at the various majestic birds.
I took a slightly different way home via #845 (?) making absolutely sure that I didn't accidentally find myself in Lethbridge again and it wasn't too long before I found myself in the area that I had driven a few weeks before, when I went SW of Vulcan to look for Common NIghthawks (without any luck). Just so happy that I finally made myself do this drive. When I had Googled the Centre's website, I discovered that they were closing two days later for the winter. So, it was either a case of going the next day or not at all till next May onward.
The very next day, 10 September 2016, I took my daughter on a long drive in Kananaskis. This was yet another place that I had longed to be able to drive for many years - and finally I did it! I had been lots of times with various friends, but this was the very first time I had ever done the drive myself."
Honda’s 2023 HR-V has borrowed some styling cues from the Porsche Macan, especially in the rear quarter. It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
