Hi Simon

What's the building ahead of the 190SL? It absolutely arrests the attention!

It’s the 1970s extension to our Parliament Buildngs, designed by Sir Basil Spence and known as the Beehive.
It contains all the Cabinet Ministers offices and the public reception areas.

Not a GTi but a poor pic of a nice Peugeot 205 enjoying the spring sunshine today before the heavens opened upon the Minor that I see around a lot.
The skyline I spotted a week or so ago.

If it is a second gen Civic, I had some experience. A friend owned one for a couple of years until it rusted away (they did rust fast). I remember it as a good, enjoyable car to drive.
