DSdriver Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Mine was a Blower Bentley being used as a tow car for a race track mini on a trailer. Unfortunately I was driving and unable to get a picture. This lapse will haunt me for the rest of my days. Stanky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisItalSLX Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 A Delorean doing an illegal U-turn over the nature strip between a triple lane highway. It had been raining and he got stuck in the mud.No photo as I was too busy laughing (and driving past). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TataBobu Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I just saw this beauty in Braşov, Romania. No idea what is is, but I'm pretty sure it's my best/ shonkiest spot ever Dacia 1307 Double Cab. Both cars are with the diesel engine from Renault, from the last part of the production (the diesel was in use between 2002 and 2006).The white cover was fitted after purchase, as is the aluminium one in the Surrey picture.

Cheggers Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 So the horrendous bonnet scoop is a standard "feature"?? Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TataBobu Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yes. The diesel engine is taller than the petrol one inherited from R12 and it didn't fit under the bonnet, so they just cut it up and fitted that plastic part.

richardmorris Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Central exhaust was notorious for gassing 2cvers in traffic! My gran had a red 1100 ( black vinyl interior) that was written off when parked outside our house in '79 I think, when a white princess drove straight in the back of it. Woman driver was drunk - at lunchtime! I was 7 and remember reanacting it with my corgi cars. Oh, my gran was more concerned about her tartan shopping trolley in the boot. Being in the trade ( sec. at a Vauxhall dealer) there was always a cheap trade in to buy. Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think it has to be the immaculate and ultra base spec Daihatsu Charmant I saw in Cyprus a couple of years ago, so far the only person I have shared the photo with is Hirst formerly of this parish, must see if I can find it on the computer.

richardmorris Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 On the subject of best spots, there were a few today- i think brookland's forthcoming auction was being unloaded.

MrDuke Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Either the immaculate CX hearse glimpsed only once outside the hospital where I worked about 7 years ago, or the professionally-converted Maestro ice cream van glimpsed only once at the petrol station where I worked about 7 years before that. No, I didn't have a camera of any description on either occasion. mk2_craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's loads of stuff that trumps this but memory ain't what it used to be, and it's been a while since I've seen anything OMG near where I live. To be fair there was a reasonable amount of low hanging fruit still evident in Cyprus, though the best stuff was clearly not on the road any longer. Must do a spot thread!

Justin Case Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Head and shoulders above the rest and I put it on here about 3 years ago but it has got lost in the mists of time, but someone came out of the supermarket in Tenbury, loaded his shopping onto (there was no into ) a 1913 Sunbeam racing car and roared off I have also spotted a few months later, but unfortunately didn't have my camera with me, a young women with a couple of small children in tow doing her shopping in that same town in a vintage Bentley on oily rag condition. I would love to think that she also used it for the school run Do I win ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 These might rival the UAZ. This 1977 CX Safari used to belong to a family friend and when it was new it was owned by the director of, and starred in an episode of, The Return Of The Saint. It was black at the time and in the show it was owned by a doctor, it was stolen and he was run over by it I'm sure. It was in the 1978 episode "The Arrangement". I can't find it but I'm sure I have a photo somewhere of a Series 1 Land Rover that was also in the show and driven by Rooger Moore (I think). 1977 Citroën CX 2400 Safari by MattLikesCars, on Flickr Edit: Here it is in the show! ROS Citroen Screenshot by BaskingsharkGTX, on Flickr Here are some proper WRC rally cars I saw back in 2012. The farthest forward one was driven by rally legend and nine time WRC world champion Sébastien Loeb. They probably cost £500,000+ EACH so with the truck we're easily talking over two million quids worth of vehicle.
