Lazy spotters thread

Yes I can see the one on the Mercury looks like a fitted suit, even from the little we can see there.

I have spotted this old beasty a couple of times on route to work I cant work out what it is ??

Dash cams are rather handy for hands free spotting and not just an excuse to turn another road users minor mistake into a road rage incident!

Not a Commer Cob then?

One of those cars that used to be everywhere then were suddenly gone. Small bumper model, which went out of fashion and is now back in, so I understand.

Apologies for the crap pic...

Honda Accord apparently. My eye was caught by the styling detail near the handle on the rear door, it looked more odd in the flesh.

Could be, but 'Mmmm! Cobbyyyyyy' doesn't have quite the same ring, in my head anyway.

But some of the photography is shite, mine included, some adjustments of settings and cropping would be good

I've seen it around Yeovil a few times but this was the 1st chance I've had to papp it. I don't remember seeing the white one though.

The best thing about my Toolstation visit earlier

Wow. Wow. Wow. Etc... That looks like my old 18/85S. Except I had SD1 alloys on mine. I know it's not mine because the floors dissolved but it was without doubt the best car I ever had. The S had an MGB spec engine (so should really have been called an 18/97). Had 4 pot brake calipers too. Mine was an auto which sounds counterproductive in an S but it worked beautifully. The kickdown from 3rd to 2nd at about 30 dropped it right into the peak power band and it would take off like the Starship Enterprise going in to warp speed. You know how in Star Trek Next Generation as it went into warp drive and the front of the ship shot off into the distance and  the back end took a few seconds to catch up? That's exactly how it felt as it kicked down and then changed up again. Would explain why the floors disappeared. So that performance combined with having a dash mounted gear selector and and umbrella handle handbrake left the floor clear so you could have the armrest down. Perfect combination of boy racer and gentlemans club. I surprised so many cars with that thing. 

This was mine. Even the door bottoms look the same. 

And here it is with another one I picked up for spares

Have a bonus picture for more like's, he was moving at the time, I thought he was going to reverse into my Sigma at the time I took the first picture 

[Yoss]

So I just found this place on streetview. Don't know how up to date it is but the Wolseley and the LT recovery truck haven't moved. 

But The Dolly has been replaced with a P6. The Wolseley isn't an auto so I can relax. If it was I might have to track it down. But also note a Renault 5 up the road. 

But on the other side of the road... 

Does anybody know this place? 

[Amishtat]

Yup, I walked past it earlier.. No Renault 5 that I saw, the workshop was all locked up. The 1300GT caught my eye first admittedly, didn't notice the Wolseley crab initially. Didn't bother snapping the Minis because they're shit.

What makes you think they’re incorrect?
