It's a Russian one. In my country we have several kinds. Astra-Zeneca, Sputnik, a Chinese one I don't remember the name, I don't think the Pfizer one is used. There has been some politics problems.
The government vaccinates according with what they have in any given moment.
As a huge space fan, I love the name of the one you got.
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

LOL.
And when I first heard AstraZeneca in the news, I thought they were talking about a car. The newest Opel model. The new successor of the Opel Astra!  LOL

Yes, I know. Me too.  ;D
I even looked it up. I was convinced there was at least a Opel Seneca, but there isn't. It totally sounds real. There even have been requests that Opel should name the new Astra model Astra Zeneca, but there will be an Astra L in 2021. So I wasn't the only one, lol.

Sorry about the double post, but for some mysterious reasons I couldn't edit.

I wanted to see what it looks like and I found an absolutely hilarious colour called "Erlkönig"! ROFL!!!
Just look at the picture!

That car has an interesting look to be sure. I can't place how it makes me feel.

Probably.
With this colour you could drive trough a sunflower field without being seen.

LOL. I answered to your post before you edited. The colour is ugly

It would be very easy to find in a big crowded parking lot, if you didn't remember where you parked it.

That's true. Also, it would be less likely to be stolen.

You are right. Who would want it anyway? And everyone would know, it is yours, because who else would be crazy enough to choose this colour...  ;)

You could buy this car to start building an eccentric appearance. The more people think you are eccentric the more they just ignore the small things like you coming in late with mud on your shoes. Your cryptic comments about the missing person in the paper. Your insistence that the old dump should not be dug up for a condominium.

Yes. That sounds reasonable. ;)
I actually saw one a few months ago. Almost bumped into it, because it confused me so much I could only stare driving by. Because of this, I think it is more dangerous to drive a noticable car than a boring coloured one.
Thinking about it, now I understand, why I saw it. It happened to be an Opel. Probably the new Astra, because there actually is a Opel dealer where it came from. But it really confused me, so that I'm not sure what kind of car it was.

Also as an experienced ex-driver of red cars, I can tell you, that people tend to bump into them more than into other coloured cars. Probably because they can see them too well. Like "oh, it is red, let's have a closer look" *crash*
And while driving red cars I was stopped by the police a lot. Probably because they wanted to save me from a future crash.

I had heard that red cars get pulled over more. Until my current car I coincidently had 3 blue cars. So with this new one I felt I had to keep up the tradition.

I love the name Sputnik too.

I saw that car Regen, I like the name of the color  :D- But the color itself...wtf? I had a laugh.
Missing you, Md
