Best spot of the day first, it's all downhill from here. Right hand drive and J-registered. post-26064-0-14431700-1534275733_thumb.jpg

There's another one of these locally registered and on a G around here that I've never been able to get a picture of but I've not seen this one before.

Sadly the future for this probably involves 100% fewer windows and a roof fin. Pity. post-26064-0-93407500-1534276013_thumb.jpg

I had to go into central London today. At the base of The Shard, one of Europe's tallest occupied buildings there is a ritzy hotel.. but not complete without BMC's finest...

Tranny is on ebay if anybody desperately feels the need to own it...

There is something very odd about that seller's ebay listings, I have to admit.   Either a broker or a scammer.   Deffo the same Tranny, I reckon....

Talking of BMC...perhaps this was unearthed from under the floor of an old car factory...its part of a horror museum on Tooley St.

 

If Poundland did Barris....

After a walk in a North East Wales town, I came back with these pics... 


 


Delightful commercial vehicles: 


 


Escort van and Bedford Rascal, I think? Both G reg.


 


And a H reg Peugeot 309.


 


More will certainly follow in the coming weeks.

M4 Membury Services (haven't some service areas got scuzzy... but spotted this. Well I could hardly miss it. Service areas were mobbed but I was in my van so could park in the calm of the HGV area.) Second pic is a VW camper in services on M5 northbound. Was full.

Today's shite-spotting session brings us to the Midland Hotel beside Hendon Station.

 

This is the story of how two very different nations aimed to get their people on the road, yet still contrived to produce designs that were, thanks to the gift of history, shite....

FX4 hipsterstyle. But to be fair this looks pretty well converted and keeps another old cab on road. Just now Greenwich London.

 

'Gor blimey mate I have a coffee machine in the back' It was working as he had a lot of customers. Anyway better than a crucified HY and more place appropriate.

Just had a few days in the Peak District and under strict instructions of no AS and no taking pictures of random old shit. The penalties were to be severe, couldn't resist this F86 in Bakewell though( lost me a BJ yesterday morning, I hope you lot appreciate the sacrifices I make for you)post-17414-0-03171000-1534638231_thumb.jpeg

And a very rushed photograph, but of something I've been out of luck getting a shot of before when I've seen it about. Bonus photo bombing from Essex Police and don't those new Land Rovers look fucking horrible.. post-26064-0-07589100-1534772605_thumb.jpg

"Just Resting"

 

Greetings, not a very exciting first post but a near neighbour has this T2 which seems to have been in the same spot for some time.
