retrogeezer Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I've not posted any of my spots for about 3 months due to a house move so will put them all in this thread. Should be something for everyone! I won't bother saying what they are, I'm sure most of you know anyway. Don't see so many of these nowadays: Mini with a Honda Civic Type R engine! I preffered this tho': Love these: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/28062007.jpg Not really shite - but the nicest I had seen for a while so snapped it:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/27082007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/26062007001.jpg This was lovely too: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/25082007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/25082007002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/25082007.jpg Very nice Polo 'Classic' and mint Accord in the same car park but different days: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/25062007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/25062007.jpg Shite as far as I'm concerned:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/24082007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/24082007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/23072007002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/24062007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/23062007007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/22082007002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/22082007001.jpg Haven't seen a Ballade for a while: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/22082007.jpg Told the owner of this about the site but guess he never came on: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/21072007.jpg This was absolutely gorgeous and the 1st one I have seen on the road for about 20 years! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/19082007003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/19082007004.jpg Nissan 300c I tried to tell Nigel Bickle about: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/19082007.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/19082007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/18082007002.jpg This 5 series was mint: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/18082007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/18082007.jpg This one wasn't! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/03092007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/15082007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/16082007.jpg This hasn't been used for a few years - shame: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/15082007.jpg My friend owns this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/14082007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/13082007.jpg Clean Astra 3 POv spec: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/12072007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/12072007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/07072007006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/07072007005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/07072007004.jpg Great reg no. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/06072007.jpg Why are there so many of these still around: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/05072007001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/05072007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/02082007.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/retrogeezer/Autoshite/shite%205th%20sep/01082007.jpg Might have some more on my phone...will post them later.

mk2_craig Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The early beige Montego appeals nearly as much as that Renner 16, should I be worried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 For some reason I'm really drawn to the blue Sierra Estate. Not quite sure why but I'd rather like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiel Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 What a wonderful selection! That 300C is wonderful, the Beta is wonderful, and the Ritmo... simply wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Crewe and Stoke seem to be tat central, loads of odd stuff turns up round there. I spent several years living in Alsager and Stoke, and you used to see all sorts. The local free ads/bargain Monday in the Sentinel used to be like a toy shop!!!

MrRegieRitmo Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 and the Ritmo... simply wonderful.TBH it really ought to be a Strada, but we know that Ritmo is possible over here too! Love the late R16, the Telecom yellow Maestro van, and the pure white Mini van. When did they stop selling them? They've disappeared very quickly The Strada goes without saying!

nigel bickle Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Nice 300c -too modern for me though. As a complete aside- Flipper- the 66 Melbourne Dattie passed its MOt this morning. last hurdle now is the trip to LVLO to hand over £50, myriad paperwork and get a number issued. Yippee!

55bloke Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Absolutely a-bloody-mazing!! That Mk 2 Granny intrigues me- why would you fit a new wing, and then add all the chrome trim before having it sprayed? Also, in the background of that pic of the Mk 1 Cavalier, do I spy a Mk 3 Zephyr/Zodiac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogeezer Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Looks like one for sure, I missed that as I was in the car and it must have gone into that garage/tyre place...bugger!Agree about the Granny, bung a garage £30 and those wings would be painted....do these people not realise that primer is porous and will let the damp through.

r.welfare Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 And it's not as though Mk2 Grandad wings (even pattern ones) are cheap these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogeezer Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Few more..... 505 GTi - in my road but taken me 3 months to snap it! Beautiful Capri that is just around the corner.. Pretty clean Carlton... Surprised to see this Mini left out at the roadside all the time... Pug 205... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
