Moderators PTR200S Posted July 30, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 for the first time for ages spotted an 06 plate Odyssey , followed it for a few miles , in the Elysion, through a town centre before I turned off. It had "alljapimports " sticker in the rear window, so presumably a Japanese version rather than USA one....twirly thing was on the right too. !! Real nice looker, .lower than my Elysion, roofline I mean, and almost as wide if not the same. I trundled along behind and pulled alongside in a queue but no recognition..... Saw it again, parked up, twenty minutes later but didn't have the time to stop and take pic...just checking dash cam for footage !!! 😁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted August 1, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Just managed to read the reg plate, imported 2017, same owner from that date too ! Colour is "bronze" according to details. Looks really nice. Haven't seen it around before but owner could have moved to this locality or be on hols, but either way I would like a closer look. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted August 27, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Spotted this again today, parked up in same spot so obviously lives close by. Although, as I said, imported March 2017 this new owner must have only just bought it as the log book update is now showing the 19th August (took DVLA , or new owner, three weeks to get it issued !) I stopped and thought I would have a nosey around, absolutely full of "junk" in the back (works vehicle?) Really nice lines.. Got a couple of photos too ! spot anything? 😛 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They replied i obviously needed an eyesight test as they were a greengrocers. Now when i go to the opticians i ask for 2lb of spuds and a pound of carrots. That way if i'm in the greengrocers again i get some food, if i'm actually in the opticians i'm in the right place anyway! The staff in my local opticians love that little anecdote and now laugh when i ask for vegetables. Last eye test, the (very attractive lady) optician had the grace to blush when she dropped a pair of test lenses in and my vision went blurry and i quipped "Damn! That's just killed the X-Ray vision!" Back on topic, that Odyssey looks very similar to the one i mistook for an Elysion a few months back.................. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mc Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 There was an older model of an Odyssey with pop up roof in our campsite for a few days midweek. Was going to get a pic but it hammered it down too much. Don't think I've seen one before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mc Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Yeh i wasn't happy camping in storm Francis at all. But honda never put a foot wrong and is currently drying out nicely in the sunshine. Mr audi and bmw provided plenty of entertainment getting stuck and a sprinkling of suv's too. I thought the nissan quashcow was 4wd. Apparently not! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be updated when a registration number is changed or even a change of address for the existing owner. Its a bit of pointless information really and would be better as an "owner change" date only....why would someone searching for vehicle information want to know about anything other than last time the vehicle changed hands? In the case of the Odyssey owner he could have had the vehicle since it was imported and just moved into the area in August, hence why I noticed the Odyssey in the first place. Oh, and the spot anything question in the first pic is green 😜 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted November 1, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 ME06 plate spotted again yesterday....AND today ! two different places in same town, is he following me ???

Site Subscriber’s Kelvin Posted November 1, 2020 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I saw a 14 plate in dark grey yesterday, looked fabulous with huge alloys. Parked up in Oundle by the river. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted February 23, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 ME06 plate Oddy spotted quite a few times over the last few weeks, all in the same place so presumably it lives there.....doesn't seem to have moved and looks down at heel now on one side, maybe flat tyre... presumably not being used, or at least, used much 😢 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted March 9, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Oddy still not moved, mot and taxed until later in year.... wonder if the owner is ok ☹ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted March 31, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Well, haven't seen the Oddy for over two weeks now, its normal parking spot vacant, no other motor in it. It was down at heel when last spotted, maybe its breathed its last.....or maybe, even, the owner has "gone" 😢😢 It might explain why it hadn't moved for so long....eventually taken away.... Still taxed though and no log book change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because its unusual, rare vehicle in this area, I have seen it just about everyday since I first reported on it. Its on a main road that I go down virtually every day. That's how I noticed it had not moved for a long while plus its parked at the end of a no parking zone so easy to see it had become a fixture. All speculation, of course, as to where it has gone, maybe it has an off road space now, owner moved etc etc... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted April 19, 2022 Author Moderators Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Out on the XBR today and came upon an Odyssey Absolute , 07 plate, twin pipes, very low, almost looked like a big estate car !!! Jap plate on it too.... Never seen it around before , it turned off into a " no through rd " near a mates house so might see it again 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he turned into a "No Through Road" in Tokyo that led him to the oppsite end of the black hole which then brought him out in the UK at the same time of day as he left Japan. 3 hours ago, PTR200S said: an Odyssey Absolute , 07 plate, twin pipes, very low, almost looked like a big estate car !!! Not sure if it was an Absolute but i saw a very low black one on USA plates the other day - definitely looks like a large estate car. Think it might have been air-bagged as when i first saw it, it was parked and couldn't really see anything of the top of the tyres/wheels. A few minutes later saw it (or one very similar) driving at a slightly more normal height but still low. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have ocassion to trundle around to mates and see if I can get another sighting !!!, maybe a pic or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
