Soon to be scrapped, apparently.

 

Seriously?!?

 

Hard to tell from a photo like that, but while scruffy as all hell, that has to be worth saving...Even if it's irredeemably rotten underneath given it's an early car that could surely provide a lot of hard to find parts for another vehicle being restored. 

[Yoss]

Indeed. Looks too good to scrap.

As the right honourable Junkman would say, Do not paint.

I don't think he'd say it's too good to scrap though. His views on CX's have not gone unnoticed.

For anyone interested in the CX, it's at Dory's Garage in Sway. Speak to Keith on 01590-683432.

Shite-drop! (cards left on a few)

AER8 the oval awaits.

However I was there with a group soso not much time for spotting sadly.

My passenger spotted these very frilly Japanese ladies heading northbound on the bottom section of the M1. Anyone know where they were headed? Someone's ePiC cOlLeCtIoN tHrEaD got a bit out of hand?

 

 

 

[barrett]

Suspect they'll be heading to the nearest short oval.

 

Looks like the CX will be saved, somebody in the BX club has spoken to the guy and has first refusal on the car.

[Zelandeth]

Good news on the CX!

 

Is it really sad that out of everything in that recent batch, the one that immediately leaps out at me as being in dire need of saving is the M plate Panda?

 

... assuming it's not actually still in use anyway, but the state of the paint suggests otherwise.  Though it does have a current MOT apparently.

 

Epic duct tape bodywork repair on that Sunny!

I did knock for the Panda, a Belgian lady answered the door. 

 

Apparently she got it from a friend in 1999 & loves it very much, but last winter the heater fan went, she had it `repaired`, but it went again soon after. Needing another car, she got a Polo & the Panda got left. 

 

Irritatingly I sold my spare Panda heater box a couple of years ago, but I left my card & she`s considering what to do.

Having had to go over to the Kiln Farm Royal Mail Delivery office again today because our postie *cannot ring a flippin' doorbell!* I spotted this in the carpark...

 

 

Seems like only yesterday they were everywhere...

[Yoss]

 

Don't know if it shows in the picture but this had copious amounts of gaffer tape to both corners of the front bumper.

But still had those aftermarket perspex headlamp protectors. Local reg too, but not dealer plates.

Tiny phone dump.

Pontiac Grand Prix if I'm not mistaken...

[RobT]

Correct, and it was mint too.

 

Bonus early finish from work meant I could pap these today. All within half a mile of eachother.

 

 

Hello Thelma, pet (RIP Rodney)

 

 

 

 

Note the Oddbins in the background. Didn't know they still existed.

 

This LDV normally has an ex post-office Pilot parked behind it.

Jeez that Dodge Spacevan is an epic spot!

Can't remember if I've posted this. It was a lot darker than the picture makes out, the back lights were crap

 

 

Then some random stuff

 

 

[RobT]

Cavalier in Brixton last week (I forgot to post this in my previous dump).  I always get more excited than I probably should when I see another Cavalier in the wild.  CD spec same as mine.  Another one of those 'where did they all go' candidates, as the last time I saw another was about six months ago.

Shit, I wouldn't have parked all that unobtanium glass-ware in a hailstorm!

Visiting big brother in Trumpland allowed much shite spotting, although my efforts to photograph the best bits were stymied variously by fear of being shot by Cletus, random camera battery infarction and general mongness. 

 

Staten Island Ferry terminal and my first ropey old Crown Vic

 

 

Random ZOMG end of the world shelter sign on Staten Island court house.

 

 

Ferry shite.

 

 

Random street scene with hideous Detroit grillage

 

 

Awful SUV thing

 

 

No idea what that is.

One of those funny coachbuilt vans the USPS use and a digger outside Grand Central.

 

 

A Saturn apparently; weird looking thing.

 

 

Stupid looking truck.

 

 

Wacky sculpture at the UN building

Not much from me of late. There's a roller-painted Freight Rover 200 I keep seeing driven by a pipe-smoking older gent but I can never get a pic in time.
