Tat from NY suburbs Aug 13th 2014 update

[Split_Pin]

 

Just noticed this pic!!

Evening All! An update from the 'burbs.

 

I have previously spotted the behind of this golf but had yet to capture a full frontal.

Cop a load of the bumper ties on that!

 

But less of the beast, here is some beauty. Simply badged 'Coupe'

 

An early morning jag, have driven by this place many times but the gates usually closed

 

Not often seen around these parts

 

And a couple of the usual suspects

[mk2_craig]

GR8 spotz! Bet the headlamp aim's good on that VW convertible. I like the detailed advertising on the 2-door Volvo, "GOOD TIRES", no mention of what the mechanicals are like... Still, if that 99k is genuine then it'll be barely run in, especially going by US standards.

[fordpoplier]

Howdy all, a selection of recent tat, mostly local but a few snapped around Boston.

 

To start, Rat? Barry? Sh1t? You decide

 

Got wood?

 

Thunderbirds are go!

 

Antiques Roadshow

 

Seen better days, mostly Volvos

 

Old Yeller

 

Plain old shite

 

GR8 Bumpers

 

And parked outside a dealership called 'Alfredo's Foreign Cars', guess what he likes

[pompei]

GR8 spots, particularly like the trussed up Glof.Looking at that Jag, isn't it odd that something so small as a front plate can make a car look, well, not quite right?

[VWPowered]

great spots..love the frog eyed golf

 

damn all those bust up volvos...

 

waste of a good acura too

 

[michiel]

Hubba hubba Hudson!

[mouseflakes]

Nice pics - I'd also missed the previous update until now.

 

That Volvo coupe is ace.

 

And this is just perfect...

 

[Mr Lobster]

GR8 pics as ever. Really liking the Alfas.Making me wish I could afford a trip to America for a bit of a road trip!

[Richard]

Remind me again, what is the deal on MOT tests over there?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Some very interesting scrappage there. The early sixties Thunderbirds are lovely old things but not worth much, and the 2 door 760 Ovlov is gorgeous - almost Maserati Bituro-esque. The red E30 looks like the typical rubbish examples you see in the UK but it's a 325e, 2.7 economy model with the 125 bhp high torque Eta motor.Judging by the numbers of shagged K Cars still about it looks remarkably easy to be white trash in the US. I'd love it.

[Volksy]

I really like those Volvo Coupes, Designated a 780 IIRC.Came with V6 or 2.3 4pot Turbos. Never sold in the UK for some reason, Last one I saw was on Swiss plates.Apparently they had rust issues, and didn't share any panels with the saloon. Handsome car though!

[mk2_craig]

Seems a real waste to cannibalise and weigh in what looks (from this angle) to be a rust-free, damage-free Volvo estate. What a shame.

[Owain-328i]

Surely that Golf Convertible cant be legal!!

[Richard]

That's why I was asking about the MOT. I've a feeling you only have to get a safety inspection when a vehicle changes hands but I could be wrong.

[fordpoplier]

The red Golf is a Connecticut car where I think the 'Inspection' is only on change of ownership. New York has them annually but they're still not as strict as a UK MOT.

[fordpoplier]

Here's a couple of bits and pieces from December.

 

I'm guessing this car has been in and out of fashion once or twice over the years but it was as clean as it looked and clearly loved.

and after a shite trip late xmas shopping, found this on the way home to make the day worth it

soft focus porn shot unintentional

[r.welfare]

Monte Carlo SS! The thinking redneck's choice of wheels. If I had any hair left I'd be growing a mullet and chewing "Red Man" whenever I rolled in that.

[fordpoplier]

Hello all, have a few spots to share from the last month or so.

 

Found a place with more than its fair share of Alfas round the back

along with this

and this was lurking in the woods

and back to town, only seen one of these 262s before, the wheels look a bit modern

I do well by this fence, flames on a Taurus wagon

bust up blazer (I think)

putting a Merc out with the bins

And one of those Geo things

with quality waterproofing

[michiel]

That Mercedes-Bins looks very 'mob'... what's in the boot?

[fordpoplier]

Been a while since I dumped the contents of the camera so here’s a few from the last few months.

 

Great Hudson

Some British bits

just plain shite

for the bumper sticker

a wolf in shite clothing

and these were from a recent trip to blighty

What's this?

[Guest]

Tercel!

[pogweasel]

OF COURSE!!!

 

"Im thinking about getting a Tercel...Its a Toyota"

[fordpoplier]

had both corolla and tercel badges!

[Ratdat]

Seen one of those Tercels in a scrappy here. Bizarre FWD layout using an inline engine.

 

 

This is lovely. I'd love to get something like this...

Hudson

This is magnificent. Why does no-one make cars this cool anymore?

[retrogeezer]

Who in their right mind would want to drive an MG Midget in the US!!

[55bloke]

Hudson

This is magnificent. Why does no-one make cars this cool anymore?

Couldn't agree more!! Also loving the black late '60s (I think!?!) Ford on big wheels. Superb spotting, as always. Aston Martin is MAGNIFICENT, but in absolutely no way shite!!

[Gompo]

Great pics again - hope you enjoyed yourself over here too..
