And all of these were in sight of each other in Greenhithe.

This turned up at our scout campsite at the weekend.

It was only when I drove past it I twigged it had a TDCI badge on the back! It was immaculate, really really nice condition.42e840c99b3ac8e93877f8d6d751595b.jpg

Delivery spottage. It was missing a centre cap and the back arches were absolutely fucked.

 

Looked like it'd just been washed.

I've not got a picture as I was driving, but unless I've gone mental I'm sure I saw a sky blue Vauxhall Omega pickup earlier.

Modern but undoubted Shite.

 

If you keep walking past the end of the High Street you come to this boat yard.

Is this a Bristol or an Alvis or something else entirely?

And what on earth is this?

It had a ridiculously oversized crane on the back.

But star of the show was this.

Cromer is famous for its crabs, everyone knows that. But nobody told me about the bloody tractors! These should be equally legendary. Maybe they are and I missed it but they came as a surprise to me and were probably the highlight of the weekend.

Some were very rusty with bits of homemade bodywork but the fact they've survived at all in the seaside atmosphere is a marvel.

 

And these two still had number plates so are probably now road legal.

I went to the local car show, which as usual featured a mk4 standard Golf... Not a GTI or anything, just a golf. A 1998 325... And a fucking Figaro. So after I murdered these people I took two photos.

 

 

I might steal some online photos and upload later.

That is a splendid contraption....The Hydrocon Highlander. 

 

Used to be one in Southampton docks but like everything I thought I must get a photo of it buggered off before I got my arse in gear...

 

Often found in boatyards, hence the tall jib.   Really fascinating things....

Thanks, I'd never heard of them til now. Just been googling them. Another gap in my knowledge filled temporarily until I forget it again.

Fairly certain that Renner 30 lives in Portsmouth. I see it and another that he owns fairly regularly down there. Pretty sure his other one is a brown/bronze colour.

Through dusty gritty eyes without my specs I thought someone had found another Sigma .... reward still available for a Shitter that does

I almost bought one on Ebay for 300 quid last year. Was parked in a bush for at least 10 years.

Where was that ? North east England or north east Germany. Sigma's seem to have a bit of a following in Germany but I have never seen one in England myself , I have seen a couple on spotter pages , one in Plymouth and one in Essex and foam and nisfan on here had one for a while up in Scotland. The one mentioned above by the Basingstoke spotter says it's a Galant but with no MoT history and a 2 litre 4 cyl not the 3 litre v6 so possibly only interior parts might be usable on mine . I might venture out to the depths of Basingstoke one day soon .

Reward available for anyone that finds one , especially a wagon rather than a saloon

Wonder where he gets his rear brake discs and pads from?

I've just seen me a Mivvi leaving Morrisons in Spudling. Don't know what sort it is but I wouldn't want one as its nearly tea-time.

post-7547-0-56084900-1527352285_thumb.jpg

Actually, who does make this motoring atrocity?

 

Edit: a proper Mivvi-

A few snaps from the Port Solent Car meet this morning. Very good of them to arrange it on my walk home from the gym

 

There was the usual selection of modern Nissans and old American pick-ups, but these caught my eye.
