Who's that?

What sort of car do you drive? Who would know?  Family? Friends? Well, if you live in a small town, everyone knows.
For many years we lived in the main street of a town in the mid north. (Home of Golden North ice-cream if you want to know its name.) From my kitchen window I could see cars drive past on our side street and would know immediately who it was
If I was outside in the garden or chatting in the street then of course, I would wave. No need to see who the driver was; the car was enough to make the connection.
When we moved to the city I vividly recall standing on a friend's porch when a car went by, so i turned to look and see who it was. Not a clue! Way too many cars in that suburb for me to know the driver. I realised I was not in the country now.
After several years we again live in a small town. I've realised how I quickly I know who is at church by the cars parked outside. And of course I wave as cars go by. There are a few common types like our son-in law's white Holden station wagon but even then there is usually some ID other than the number plate.
One of my fellow singers usually parks next to me on rehearsal night. She wasn't there when I got there last week. At least I didn't think so. Turns out she has a new car. Same make but a different colour. So I didn't recognise her!
I am a bit more anonymous around town as we live close to shops and church and so I often walk. People don't know me by car. Besides we are in the process of getting a new car and so are using an old one that isn't often seen around town. So when I 'm driving it and wave, nobody responds.
Maybe I could get my name on the rego plates ...
