sutty2006 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Last week I went somewhere warm. No not hell.....yet. Me and Mrs Sutty flew to Tenerife South on our holibobs courtosy of my parents (serial time share holders with extra room for two). I knew there would be some unrotten chod knocking around as ive been here twice before so I was armed with my phone camera where ever I went. First and best spot of the Holiday was this Opel Rekord..... spotted moments away from our hotel on day 1. I'd spotted it from the taxi and subsequently spent the next 2 days scouring the local area for it. Check out that Bulge!! On the car!! A rare 2.3 Turbo diesel model. Spotted plenty of these Corsa A's about, spotted one out on the road with its back end stoved in...... And another Renault 5 and a pug 205 GRD diesel. Unrotten, but both badly battered. Spotted this Mk6 escort in Pepper red with GTi wheels. Reminded me of my second ever car, exactly the same... almost. Isuzu Trooper.... badly bleached paint but still rockin n rollin and a RHD discovery 1 200 series..... probably shipped out there and registered on spanish plates. I cant imagine life without welding one of these back together anymore. However, lack of rot comes with a price.... check out that paint!! Check out that mk2 fez! And something we dont really see over here in wet miserable blighty. A long wheel base samuri! Had been parked up for days like that... Another great spot. Santana 110. Didnt these have a 2.8 JTD iveco van engine? One very well looked after Belmont GSi, this was undamaged! And a mk1 16v mondeo at the front of the hotel one day, arches complete and bumpers without gaffer tape. how rare!!!! haha On the Tuesday I decided to hire a car to search for shite further afield do a tour of Tiede. This wasnt it ... Maybe next time...... had to settle for a hotpoint washing machine. 1.2 3 cylinder VW polo. Nice car, wank engine. And last but not least, a broken down Mustang not far from the visitors centre at the volcano. I recon he'd run out of petrol......... We had a great time, even if swmbo began getting anoyed at my constant effort to hunt for chod. Hope you enjoy the pictures! scruff, danthecapriman, Six-cylinder and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbaldy Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I think it was, it was near an excellent water park, I'm a big kid and gravity is ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnotFound Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We're just back from La Palma, I'm far too self conscious for much chod photoing, there were loads of lovely old Seat Marbella's and a few Seat 127's that looked pretty cherished. It's a relatively poor island for the Canaries and anything newer than about 6 years old was almost certainly a hire car. I did snap a Ferrari however.

They love mercs over there. 95% of taxis are Mercs. The old E class we got from the airport to the hotel had done in excess of 747000KMs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 When I visited Los Christianos in 2012 I was slightly disappointed with the chod spottage. I was hopeful of seeing some old French and Spanish cars but the best I saw was a MK2 Cavalier. I did photograph a MK1 Renault 5 but it had been restored and was 'cherished' - not the condition I was hoping for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I've really got the horn for a santana but not been brave enough yet. They rot like bastards and some spares are tough to find but WCPGW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
