Shite 'n' Scenery

[CortinaDave]

This pic of a Corolla I took on holiday in Kalymnos last week got me thinking this might be worth a topic... Anyone got pics of shite cars backed by scenic locations??? Thought I'd stick a pic up of one of my old Capris i took on a trip up near Mallaig a few years back too...

 

[dollywobbler]

Oh yes. Good thread idea.

 

The fantastic Bletchley Park and a shite, rusty old Citroen.

 

Switzerland.

 

Eastern France. I've been to a lot of lovely spots in that car...

 

Moar BXs. Looking into Wales this time.

This was good full-size, shame Photobucket seem to have lost it...

Happier times, looking out over the fields of Derbyshire on a balmy summer day.

I'm going to have to make more of a effort although in my defense there isn't much scenery in the flatlands of Suffolk/Essex.

I like this idea, I'll play too.

 

Rover 75 at Elveden by Skizzer, on Flickr

This was on the way back from picking it up from Wuvvum's World of Shite.

 

Golf at Pic St Loup, Languedoc by Skizzer, on Flickr

I bought the Golf blind on eBay and drove it straight to the south of France. The head gasket ('joint de culasse', I learned) failed on the way but endless bottles of Evian kept it rolling until we got there.

Back home again, a couple of years later.

Not really chod but I like the scenery, up in the hills north of Swansea. I am now much too poor, sensible, old and married to have this car, it went a few years ago.

Been on before but not for a while, it was taken at the battlefield near Market Bosworth on the way back from collecting the Austin.

A real heap of shite that we had in fuerteventura this year.

 

and some fun we had in the lakes.

I suppose this would count as scenery.

I came across this PA Cresta on Shetland.

[M'coli]

So would I!

Well, I'm a fairly shocking photgrapher at the best of times. If my pictures arent coming out blurred or misted they are simply incomprehensible. These here are the best I could find:

 

Somewhere between Tewksbury and Evesham:

 

Somewhere in Evesham:

 

Getting lost somewhere near Shrewsbury (I spent bloody ages trying to get out of the maze of roads in this part of the sticks)

 

This is all I could manage with my current steed:

 

Must try harder.

Here's some NZ ones, starting with a couple I've posted before:

 

Our Commodore just after buying 2 years ago, at Lake Whakamaru

 

 

Our 205 and 505 resting at Lake Rotorua on the day we bought The Turd (try to guess which one that is...)

 

 

Camping trip at New Year, Tologa Bay

 

 

Lovely Skyline spotted after a thrilling* tourist train ride at Waihi railway station.

 

 

Departure lounge, Matamata aerodrome

 

 

Not sure if this counts really but the backdrop is quite nice. Amisfield air strip.

The picture of the estate car full of logs that LP/LH/MC posted ages ago was my wallpaper for a while.
