First seen the the wild

Passed a red one on the A30 East of Honiton yesterday (I was going west) they do look good in red
 
My #teamsilver has just hit one month old, and I think I spotted my first other MG5 in the wild since I first started looking at these in late July. Sure I saw a #teamblack going through Aughton, Ormskirk. Considering the sales figures I’m amazed at how few MGs of any sort I have spotted out and about.
 
I live in Windsor and have seen quite a few down here. It seems to be EV central where I live there are three model 3's in my road alone! I went to Uxbridge recently and when we left the chimes car park I found myself behind a Black MG5 we had a little convoy going :D
 
I was in a brief convoy comming back from Norfolk yesterday.....in the rain, on the A52 near Nottingham..... I was following a new Hyundai and was overtaken by a black Vauxhall EV.

Incidentally my non-stop trip was 155 miles with 15 left in the 'tank' at 4.1 KPM . In the rain, blowing a gale, headlights on half of the trip......I was quite please.

(no HVAC....runroof and one Rear window cracked open)
 
Still not many on the Isle of Wight - but I have either seen the same black one twice (in Godshill) or 2 different black ones once (also in Godshill..) in the past few days. Both parked and no sign of a driver though so didn't wave....

As I was still deliberating whether to order one, I pulled up behind a long range excite in Tesco car park in Wells, Somerset.The guy was pretty pleased with it so was the final push I needed!
 
Is this another? Definitely an Isle of Wight registration, passed me going towards Ventnor (from Godshill) Tuesday morning about 7.45 am, as I was going the other way. Red - could this be the one I spotted several months ago or is it new sighting......?
 
Saw another silver one yesterday heading into illchester.
Great to be seeing more about.
 
And after 2 more months I finally got to see a another MG5 (after mine and the one in October) - a white one in the Dog Falls car park, Glen Affric, Highland. So now I know there are at least three on the roads.
 
Seen one Trying to persuade the charge post work outside Colchester Asda, they eventually moved to another.
 
Is it breeding season???? Has Spring sprung????

Having seen only 3 5's in the last 12 months, including mine, I suddenly came across 2 Exclusives, one red and one grey, both with recent Isle of Wight plates in the last few days. Maybe they are breeding, along with the white-tailed eagles that were introduced to the Island a couple of years ago, and who knows, we might get a colony of beavers as well!
 
Since ordering mine in October I've been watching out for MGs, but so far I've only seen 3 MG5s. The first was a red one on the M4 near Bristol on Boxing day. A few weeks ago there was a black one on my estate, but I've not seen it again. Yesterday on my commute to work I saw a Silver one. I do see lots of other EVs though, in my street alone there are 3 or 4 Teslas, a Leaf, an ID3 and a Mii.
 
Followed a #teamblue through to Hovingham, North Yorkshire this morning. First car that I've seen other than mine in this colour and was good to go in convoy for a couple of miles!
 
I forgot to say I saw another red one between Wells and Cheddar, Somerset a couple of weeks back- not sure if it’s anyone on this forum??
