Ex US serviceman? Or ex-diplomatic staff?

Probably the former.  It's for that reason there's quite a bit of random US stuff floating around here. 

There's a mid 2000s Saturn Ion I see with some regularity around here along with a near base model Ford Aerostar...not the sort of stuff you'd expect someone to import privately!

...Says the guy who spent a while considering importing a mid 80s Chevy Cavalier Station Wagon...

Imagine a mainstream manufacturer ‘green lighting’ this today , kudos to Citroen , probably what finished them off to be gobbled up in the PSA group. Elon could learn a thing or two from this instead of a crappy cyber truck ..... probably not

Not updated this for a while. Have also fallen out with Photobucket as the updated application keeps fucking up my phone so I am trying Flikr. Will see how this works.

I wonder if Photobucket realise they have shot themselves in the foot?

Fair enough if they want to start charging new customers or even old customers for extra storage, but to delete old images for current customers and generally make images unavailable?

Flickr seem to be doing a similar thing, but at least a certain number of old images are still accessible.

Seems to be a fair number of imgur.com pics not displaying.  Are they doing the same thing?

And tinypic images seem to be broken. They must be all doing the same thing?

Screen capture from a dash cam though a very wet windscreen. Hence the poor quality potato cam image.

I posted this to twitter last year and it was quite popular, but thought you guys may also appreciate the "House of Chod"

Thats a proper XR3i that. If it was proper 90s spec it would've been a 1.1 popular plus. 

Only had around 5k on it in 2007 too on carcheck. Low milage one. 

Anyhow, I saw this Corolla in town today.

I initially convinced myself it was a Mazda RX7, but then talked myself out of that. It looked well finished and like a 'car', rather than a body-kit or 'Ferrari conversion'. I was rather hoping somebody on here would tell me!

Nissan Pao in Sainsbury’s today.

Wow, that Maxi is the exact double of mine and was registered in the very same month too. It's been untaxed since 1985 so I wonder where it's been hiding. Doesn't look in bad nick so it's got to be worth saving and hopefully won't get crushed. Are the club aware of it?

Any details @quicksilver, as I assume it's in one of those photos that don't show up? Photobucket?

Nice to see an old VW looking untouched.

I found an XJ6 in Bedford, Texas today, looked pretty clean!

[spartacus]

Good detective work there @Sir Snipes!

Spot on with your educated guess too.

Lives nearby. Don't think I've ever seen/smelled it moving, but it does move.

 

Makes me wonder who originally imported it, and why?

Hi! I just joined - the Caddy used to belong to me! The pictures are from when I had it. It was like driving around in your front room!  I've since replaced it with another American car!
