A Rosa posing perfectly for me on 18th September at 10:33am. Sorry, didn't catch which one it was. Hopefully someone with a good eye might be able to tell which one it is, I don't pay much attention to these mini-buses.
As to avoid breaching the privacy rule for everyone to see, I have not included the times the top two photos were taken. If you wish to upload these photos I will then disclose the times privately if necessary.
