While crossing Oxford Street with some mates on Saturday night, we spotted this fantastic flash car. Aside from the driver, there was a solitary bloke in the back seat. For a while we speculated what he might have been up to, concluding the most romantic option – he was on his way to pick up someone to ask them to marry him. At risk to life and limb, I snapped this photograph on my phone knowing it’s not often you see a flash car like this one in such great condition.

PS. I have since seen the car on a couple of other occasions and can confirm it’s part of the Uber range.
