55bloke Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nothing to get very excited about I'm afraid, but thought I may as well post them anyway!Escort cab to start with.and another Escort, photographed on full zoom so not a great shot!Not every one's cuppa, I know, but I do like to see a nicely done Mini- interior on this one was all leather and looked very cool!Where have all these gone? Doesn't seem that long since they were common place.Some veedubs.Couple of 205sSpotted this lurking in a local front gardenRopey old Sierra- didn't notice the rear window sticker 'til I saw the pics! My dirty old man's mind immediately thought it would be much funnier if it was punctuated slightly differently!! Followed this for several miles- could it be a daily driver?Almost missed this P100 lurking behind a tree!And lastly, ultimate tastless shite.

ashmicro Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Great spots! Love that boggo-spec Mark 4 Escort. A mate of mine has one of those Ovlov 480's, a turbo to boot. It's laid up in his garage, a non-runner. It has what looks like a Renault engine. We tried jump-starting it off my girlfriend's 911 and towed it with my Jag but it refused.That cabby Scrote is pure 80's cop-show gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For its age though it had a huge amount of features that i'm only just seeing in recent years, guide you home headlights, illuminated doorlocks, reverse gear activated rear wiper which slowly stopped working one by one..

Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Crikey, you'd think he'd stretch to a GL after dying for our sins etc. Then he'd get nicer seats for long motorway hauls. And a clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owain-328i Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Crikey, you'd think he'd stretch to a GL after dying for our sins etc. Then he'd get nicer seats for long motorway hauls. And a clock.Rare car mind, and painfully slow motoring. Looking at it id say thats in its last 12 months of motoring, and dont think it will be coming again.

Mr Lobster Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Crikey, you'd think he'd stretch to a GL after dying for our sins etc. Then he'd get nicer seats for long motorway hauls. And a clock.Is it just me or is the n/s/r wheel at a slightly odd angle? Doesn't look like its pointing in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
