Lazy spotters thread

That is outstanding, rear wheel spats aside.

What CJ said. Stock items for single rear wheel axles, it just covers over the big hole left behind without the big bubble arches. I like the spats personally.

 

My LWB high top mk2 tranny has them.

 

 

They do come off if needed but it looks stupid without them!

A few from Prescott last weekend.

[Asimo]

Gaydon last weekend. Milspec Daf for the cloggie army!

1.6 16v GLS auto, my mum has the 1.4 GLS auto which replaced her 1.4 GLS manual...

 

 

Very unshite MK1

And if anyone could educate me on this fantastically ugly camper..?

 

[Keymaster]

Strolling around Albufiera earlier this week & spotted some choice chod...

And if anyone could educate me on this fantastically ugly camper..?

 

MB 110 van, always a good bit of nerdery when someone asserted MB didn't make fwd's. Not sold here AFAIK, mostly home market and Iberia.

 

In other news...I got some of a Delorean...

[bunglebus]

I got some DeLorean too...

 

 

...although it should really be in the Shite in Minature thread.

[Yoss]

Car boot chod.

 

 

Goes a bit Rover heavy here.

 

Got my hopes up here, premium grille and starspoke alloys. Could it be a V8? No, it's just a lowly diesel. Good spec though, cruise, wood rim wheel, cream contemporary leather (basically ZT seats) and it's almost beige.

 

And lastly, this one IS a V8.

[CreepingJesus]

Phwoarrr...Edinboghorror spots. Ancient (and Dutch reg'd) Merc, shiny 320 Touring.

[CreepingJesus]

Dormobile parcel van camper, owned by an actual crusty (although to be fair, I've got band t-shirts older than him) right in Ayr town centre. Made my day...!

[spartacus]

A few from the last few weeks...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The orange Citroen is on the drive of the orange Range Rover, just a few weeks later. In the background of the RR pic is a Capri too.

Nice to see that racing Zephyr still around - used to be Tony Dron's from the original Classic Cars magazine.

Great to see that Lagoon Green touring, ex had a 318 that I used to use, fitted lowering springs and made up for the lack of power by not slowing down for roundabouts etc. A great car, anyone got L574ULL?

These are all from the same road. I regularly drive this road but rarely walk it but I keep seeing all this stuff and finally decided to take a little detour.

 

I realise this may be against Lazy Spotter rules (actually having to put some effort in). I hope I'm not disqualified but I think the results are worth it.

 

First this amazing trio.

 

One

 

Two

 

Three

That would be a great calendar shot if it were a bit sharper. All three look a bit ropey (note wonky sunroof on the third one). Only the E reg one seems to move on a regular basis.

 

 

Also in the same road.

Moggy on Minilites with a much younger cousin. The thing under the tarpaulin also has Minilites and black numberplates. I'm thinking it's a Minor Van but I'm happy to be corrected.

 

If I owned this I wouldn't keep parking it under that tree.

[Yoss]

And speaking of Volvos these are all from the last few days.

 

The last one belongs to a retired doctor on my delivery and is very well looked after.

 

These things are all best part of twenty years old and yet there seem to be more of them around now than when they were new! Their survival ratio must be well above all other cars of their era.

[EssDeeWon]

Flippin eck! at that blue Y reg Camray a few posts up.

[jonny69]

 

This is at work. No idea who's it is but they should be on here.

 

It did have some rusty wheels on, which I think suited it better.

[spartacus]

Not Cosworth, RS500, touring car, replica etc etc.

 

Put a note on his windscreen and get him signed up!

Papped this beauty* outside the local euro car parts yesterday. Looks suitably grim- the owner probably died waiting for the right part to turn up...

Here's something local to me that makes me grin/upsets me every time I drive past...sure some on here have seen them before but these I see often.

Fiat 131 last taxed 1992 (try lifting that now), Croma I think last taxed 1998, Bluebird (think it's a diesel) a bit more recent.  Never dared go closer.

 

[richbraith]

I got thrown off/walked off my stepson's stag do yesterday (delete as per interpretation) because some people can give it out but can't take it.  So I went and sulked and took some shite pics instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[mercrocker]

Bit of a cheating Spot really as it's at a local show today.....Could not resist the symmetry, though. 

 

Two black Morrises, my Cowley and this Minor.   Both supplied new from the same garage (Wadham's, Southampton) almost exactly two years apart.   Combined age of 122 years and grand total of four owners (two per car).    Just co-incidental parking, too.   When I talked to the Minor's owner we both produced the original Wadham's keyring fobs from our gloveboxes.   

 

If cars could talk.....

I was at the Gaydon truck show today. Plenty of truck shite like this neat Ergo AEC, but what's that on the back?

 

Why, it's a doom blue 205. Cazana history suggests this was taken off the road when less than 3 years old and has never had an MOT!

 

Other shizzle in the model show exhibitors car park. The Mustang was unexpected and I loved the Volvo.

 

 

 

Not many light commercials this year, except this Escrot van

 

[junkyarddog]

^^^^^^ That 205 is the same colour as mine,

Wedgewood blue,I think.

[spartacus]

From the last couple of days...

A brace of Lotuses in Wells this morning and a nice old ovlov just down the road obviously owned by a religious nut going by the sign in the window.
