For what its worth then the colour is red registration K650PVH so no, not a new car. Unfortunately the reason I left the books in the car was because my hands were full of the lap top and digital camera!!¬! Both easily replaceable items! I had intended going out again to get the rest later of Friday evening but one of the children took ill and it went out of my head - they then took it in turns to be ill so never gave it another thought until Maddie asked where my car was this morning! Let's see what tomorrow brings.
