Lazy spotters thread

[Aston Martin]

I've seen at least 30 Defenders this week, only 4 were 110's.

That semi-derelict Mitsi people carrier I spotted some months ago is now back on the road:

 

 

... while this beauty was sitting about 200 yards away:

 

 

Note shite-tastic bendy aerial on the front wing

 

 

.... and parked opposite is this W126 which hasn't gone anywhere for quite a while:

 

 

For XJS fans:

 

 

For sheer AS misery, though....

Yorkshire, almost ready for 2019

 

 

 

Look at this though:

 

 

Meanwhile, in Newchurch Lancashire, I’m not saying this town has no claim to fame, but if you google it this is the synopsis:

 

It was the home of semi-professional football club Rossendale United until they dissolved in 2011. Their home ground Dark Lane was set on fire in January 2012.

...it is also very hilly, so you’ll need a 4x4. Here’s one:

Immaculate early Disco V8 at my local diagnostic place. They have quite a few of this kind of customer, fix and maintain with no regards to cost!

[spartacus]

Crap picture but this MX5 had quite a good looking hard-top fitted.

 

 

One for DW, Zelandeth and Lightbulbfun, on a roof somewhere in Liverpool.

 

The thinking man's RS2000, I used to really lust after these back in the '80's, there was one local with a 'DAC' number plate. This was at one of my local climbing walls, I'm going to have to find out whose it is.

 

At a local garage, really shiny giffer owned. It's had some paint but still looked good. The mechanic working on it says the fuel tank is rusting from the inside though and he's hunting a replacement down.

[spartacus]

 

Local giffer owned classic trials bike, somebody will be along in a moment to tell me what! They homemade trailer looked nifty, just big enough for the job and relatively easy to manage and store.

 

 

 

Lovely little thing, this is the kind of car I'd like for a daily, school run, Tesco, bumbling across town to my folks house.

This owner had used it for a run to the local cinema/food leisure park, ideal!

I love the colour on that Jag.

[jumpingjehovahs]

 

Incredibly lazy spot, taken from my dads living room window. This thing hardly moves but gets the odd wash. Still taxed and MOT’d and to my eyes, looks pretty good.

Wonder if that 944 driver is a real ale fan?

The slightly out of place but entirely welcome shot of an excellent kitchen cabinet has solved a very old conundrum for me! 

 

For years in my tin of old car badges I have had one of those "Eastham" logos without knowing entirely what it belonged to.   Now I know! 

 

It's not an Eastham that I have in my kitchen - some other make - but I know where the badge is going now.   Thank you!

[Yoss]

Blimey, didn't know we had any Maxxus's left. And on that subject I found this wonderful stamp at work this morning.

Not entirely sure this is the right place for it, but I did spot it so this is where it's going.

I'd love a kitchen done out in that period and style of stuff. A more pleasant time generally!

 

The price tag was £170.

Never seen a back box like that one on the Shitroen, plenty of space for tools and fluids to complete the shortest of journeys.

Walked out of Sainsburys this morning after completing the christmass shop to be greeted with this magnificent old jalopy. The offside was a lot frillier than this. Stilll lokked in good overall nick.  Did not take any more photo's. The badging on the back said V4 cannot remember if it had GT or not. Wish I had taken more photos or had a chat but daughter was getting 'tired' cranky...

A rather nice business wagon.

that would be an Invacar Mk12 the invalid carriage Invacar made before the Model 70

 

I have seen that one in my sleuthing sessions, im surprised its still up, bit of a shame to do something like that to it however...

[spartacus]

I thought so too, I had to explain to my daughters, (11), and my girlfriend, (37), what it was and what colour it would have been originally, on first sight my gf just looked and said 'lame?'

[spartacus]

I love the colour on that Jag.

Yeah, as you can imagine it looks better in the flesh.I took the picture in the hat days of summer and although my gf has lived on the road for a couple of years I'd never seen it before.

There a several RM Maxuus still in service down here! I think 55 plate is the oldest. Incredible really. One has had a sill patch and been slathered in underseal! When I was a postie once the van hit 3 years old they kicked the cunt out the door!

Fiat Uno Turbo, it has been in that same spot for 13 years, it was used every day and would often be missing during the day,

Hasn't been on the road now for a while, I'm amazed that it hasn't gone walk about, and i have no idea why the picture is sideways

i-Pad / i-Phone?

[Cheggers]

One for the GGG...just your cup of tea.

Nice to see a Horsehair out and about.....GT models usually said so on the rear flank, like Cortinas.  This one looks like a de Luxe.

These Corsa headlight ones are strange.

Driven to Wales I've seen

 

Two Bongo Friendees

Honda Odyssey

Honda Stream

Mk6 Escort

Fabulous yellow and black NSX.

Japanese Ford people carrier... Bongo sized.

Marea towing a Yugo 45... He loses points as it wasn't a Marea Weekend.

 

Forgotten a few
