Zelandeth Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 One spectacularly well parked, slightly rusty Kia Magentis... ...and an Audi A2 still earning it's keep. This seemed worth a snap as there seems to be quite a bit of love for this oddball little rollerskate on here. jumpingjehovahs and michael t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 A nice little Mk IV (or V?) Fiesta still earning it's keep spotted in Bicester today. I had a 3-door 1.1 of the same age as this. It was as rough as anything, in particular the rear valance was mostly cardboard and duct tape...but drove spot on, and was an astonishingly comfortable and downright competent little car. There was nothing it didn't do to an acceptable standard... didn't realise what a good little motor it was until after I sold it. Also wound up following a late red BX heading out of the town centre. I gave chase as I'd love to get a photo of the Activa with it, sadly traffic lights intervened and I lost it disappearing into a rabbit's warren of a housing estate. Maybe next time. michael t and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadhg Tiogar Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 That semi-derelict Mitsi people carrier I spotted some months ago is now back on the road: ... while this beauty was sitting about 200 yards away: Note shite-tastic bendy aerial on the front wing .... and parked opposite is this W126 which hasn't gone anywhere for quite a while: For XJS fans: For sheer AS misery, though.... michael t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yorkshire, almost ready for 2019 Look at this though: Meanwhile, in Newchurch Lancashire, I’m not saying this town has no claim to fame, but if you google it this is the synopsis: It was the home of semi-professional football club Rossendale United until they dissolved in 2011. Their home ground Dark Lane was set on fire in January 2012....it is also very hilly, so you’ll need a 4x4.

spartacus Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Immaculate early Disco V8 at my local diagnostic place. They have quite a few of this kind of customer, fix and maintain with no regards to cost! Heidel_Kakao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Crap picture but this MX5 had quite a good looking hard-top fitted. One for DW, Zelandeth and Lightbulbfun, on a roof somewhere in Liverpool. The thinking man's RS2000, I used to really lust after these back in the '80's, there was one local with a 'DAC' number plate. This was at one of my local climbing walls, I'm going to have to find out whose it is. At a local garage, really shiny giffer owned. It's had some paint but still looked good. The mechanic working on it says the fuel tank is rusting from the inside though and he's hunting a replacement down.

spartacus Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Local giffer owned classic trials bike, somebody will be along in a moment to tell me what! They homemade trailer looked nifty, just big enough for the job and relatively easy to manage and store. Lovely little thing, this is the kind of car I'd like for a daily, school run, Tesco, bumbling across town to my folks house.This owner had used it for a run to the local cinema/food leisure park, ideal! worldofceri, danthecapriman, adw1977 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpingjehovahs Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Incredibly lazy spot, taken from my dads living room window. This thing hardly moves but gets the odd wash. Still taxed and MOT’d and to my eyes, looks pretty good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk michael t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Christmas selection pack The slightly out of place but entirely welcome shot of an excellent kitchen cabinet has solved a very old conundrum for me! For years in my tin of old car badges I have had one of those "Eastham" logos without knowing entirely what it belonged to. Now I know! It's not an Eastham that I have in my kitchen - some other make - but I know where the badge is going now. Thank you! 500tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitsisigma01 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Never seen a back box like that one on the Shitroen, plenty of space for tools and fluids to complete the shortest of journeys. 500tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy_bunter Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Walked out of Sainsburys this morning after completing the christmass shop to be greeted with this magnificent old jalopy. The offside was a lot frillier than this. Stilll lokked in good overall nick. Did not take any more photo's. The badging on the back said V4 cannot remember if it had GT or not.

spartacus Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I thought so too, I had to explain to my daughters, (11), and my girlfriend, (37), what it was and what colour it would have been originally, on first sight my gf just looked and said 'lame?'

I think 55 plate is the oldest. Incredible really. One has had a sill patch and been slathered in underseal! When I was a postie once the van hit 3 years old they kicked the cunt out the door!
