M'coli Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 "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.

M'coli Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 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 .

M'coli Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 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. Tidy un-messed with local Mini. Bedford cuddy mover. Tidyish Astra estate. On to August. Check out this roastermobile in Aldi carpark! 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. 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. More later!

M'coli Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 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.

beko1987 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Ha, I've just watched the series 1 grand tour where Clarkson wrecked one of those. Never got the masersti love tbh.

Six-cylinder Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 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!

M'coli Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Eh?Wash your mouth out, young man! Part of the mystique of a Maserati is that it's not a Ferrari. The red paint is a subtle shade of nice. Kringle and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then there is a bit of a parallel universe thing going on with bodyshop owners having red Biturbos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Witney Oxfordshire, 191 miles from Knaresborough! So it looks like there are two Bodyshop owners with Biturbos, that makes sense as we have chased rust twice with ours in the six years we have had it!

M'coli Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Spotted this wee beauty in Harrogate today - looks like a one-owner-from-new car, with less than 44000 miles, and from the first 3 months of right-hand-drive production.
