M'coli's micturition - a Yorkshire Rochdale


M'coli

"Barkas" is actually a soviet UAZ. The kind of thing Mr.Glover would keep in his hangar, or Mr.Castro would use for a fishing trip in Mongolia.

 

Brilliant spottage, by the way !

Now you come to mention it, I'm sure I noticed that when I first saw it (3 months before I photographed it), but familiarity got the better of me obviously.

Ok, so part two of the Bristol Bilge, the ‘Tolian Toleys.

Mk3 Escort estate.

Tidy Volcane, but could do with a polish.

Pog’d Micra: this was taken last summer, but it’s still running.

Panda: 750!!! I only just had time to get the photo, I had to point, press and hope.

I saw lately and it reminded me of Mr Bollox recent purchase, but it was too dark to get a decent photo of it, as it was of the Plimsoll swing bridge that evening. I went back to have a good look at the Plimsoll bridge, and got a shot of this too: little did I realise that the reg. number would be so prescient!

A really nice looking 29-year-old 7-series: I really like the shape of these.

This was rocking around for at least the past year, but I’ve not seen such an honest-looking example since the mid-to-late 90s: neither scene nor “herdâ€, just good.

The Commer PB that I saw during lunchtime walks near work in Lawrence Hill had dissappeared: taking a different route home revealed a PB CPTC: it’s only the same bloody van!!! :-)

I've clocked this Minor estate (suck it up, it's still an estate) in Morrisons car park prior to this event, but this time, my shitey senses were tingling: when I looked through the Minor...

...there was a Dutch Saab 96 V4! The owners came back as I was admiring it, we had a good blether ("Why do you not have a Saab now?" "They're too thirsty and too long" was my reply!). They're camping in the Dales and heading north to the Lakes and Scotland. They have insect repellent ;-).

Shall we have a bit of a dump of spots? Let's start with last July...

First up, a mk2 Capri on child-ferrying duty in Wetherby Morrisons car park.

If I'm correct this is an Austin 7 on a trailer, Great North Road, Wetherby.

Microcar action in Brora!

One of an interesting pair of Jaguar kits.

Seriously? Hell yeh, it's only a bloody Hercules!

On to September - I think I've posted this Landcrab in the past, but it is nice to see.post-3066-0-24420000-1529153488_thumb.jpg

 

A tidy wee Polo saloon driven by a young woman.

Again, I think this Panda's been on here before now, but it's still nice to see.

Spotting threads aren't what they used to be these days, but I couldn't not update it after this utter honey pulled into Lidl's car park. The owner works in the motor trade -has a body shop- so had it restored and bare-metal resprayed. He seemed pleased that I knew what it was!

Never got the masersti love tbh. Granted I've never been in one but that to me looks like a BMW 3 series...

 

Mrs6C made the mistake once and we both think they resemble a Hyundai Stellar.

 

You could always clean an E30 and a Biturbo side by side just so you learn the differences, not for me to end up with two clean cars!

Sounds like Witney, if so he also has a Karif and a more modern Maserati 3200/4200. If not then there is a bit of a parallel universe thing going on with bodyshop owners having red Biturbos!
