PEUGEOT 406 Super Touring Car. Getting to drive a legend.
I remember watching these at racedays
 
 
 

That belongs on the Just scrap it thread.

Been down near Brizzle today 


Didn't look like it had moved this year.
 

On the day of my Daimler Hearse passing it’s MOT, this happens. Body shop has quoted £400

After changing the Transmission Fluid and filter on my wife’s car, in a hurry to get finished yesterday I backed over my plastic drain pan spilling 10ltrs of ATF over the fresh concrete floor in the new unit at my work. One upside is I found that acetone works really well in removing oil stains from concrete 

@LightBulbFun and @dollywobbler - an Oltcit update! I've spotted them both today. I managed to get a sneaky photo which I have heavily edited to disguise the location to protect the owner:

What we appear to have is H842H** in a garage tent and another Oltcit wrapped in tarpaulin. Given that the one which had been on fire was H842HTA I'm pretty sure these are both the ex HubNut pair. H842HTA is MoT's until February 2025........
I recall that there was a difference in the front bumpers between both cars. To me it looks like the one under the tarp has its front bumper missing?

I shall keep an eye out for it on the road.
 
 

OK here are some of today's treasures 
If anyone fancies this Matchbox Major Pack Guy Warrior transporter it was £2 - needs work but at least has all its grey tyres

I don't really "do" commercial stuff, so I sell on any Convoy bits I end up with - so of course I don't have the right tractor unit for this (I like Pepsi branded items)

Guy was selling a handful of My First Matchbox for 50p each. Someone's got to look after them

Other Matchbox include a late 'bird

And a Prowler 

Going back a few decades, yet another Capri probably headed for my sales thread

Blaze Buster is another unloved casting but this one is very nice, still looks capable of busting a few blazes

GT40 has definitely had an eventful life

Superfast Dodge Wreck Truck isn't bad though

I'm not too completionist when it comes to Lesney's earlier efforts, some just don't appeal to me. These too were too cute to ignore though. Still amazes me you can buy a 60 year old toy for pence

Legend has it the designer of the Majorette fox body Mustang saw the original car drive past at 80 MPH at night when it was foggy, and did the job from memory 

He did at least include some junk in the trunk for us though

Talking of tatty red Majorettes

Corgi Range Rover always seems to pop up, and there are many variations 

This was yesterday's 

There's something about the styling of a Scammell that appeals to me 

Today's best buy was a 50p Politoys Chevron

Silliest was a Chinese pickup on fake Hot Wheels Ultra Hot rims

Red hub Batmobile will go on to a new home via eBay

So having decided I didn't need another Dinky Kubelwagen

Or a giant Stratos

And definitely not anything from here

I came home 

I've never seen one with so much paint never mind the patient, great find @ETCHY!
As it's all quiet on here this evening I'll share another find from last week I'd kind of forgotten about, it is totally fucked mind you!
It's a FIAT from the 70s/80s

131 Abarth

Never seen one before

so I'm quite keen to do something with it despite broken A pillars and one door sill missing!

I got this Matchbox Mercedes Benz Binz Ambulance off a market stall today. It was £4.00 which i'm pretty chuffed with. Even has the little patient & his blanket.
 

Port Lympne yesterday with the wife, went for a safari on this:
