Fast forward to Friday 31st of July, on the way back home from Sevenoaks, 'Wow' I exclaimed and I drove past this and slammed on the anchors.  The kids rolled their eyes, they knew what was going to happen, they were going to be late because Dad had to stop and take pictures of some car, they were correct...

Journeys take a bit longer now, and I actually carry my phone now, just in case of a spot.

That CX pulls a Piper Comanche-based caravan, as you do:

That is quite spectacular, always impresses me.  Haven't seen him for a couple of years.

 

Saw these - and a third one, no photo, on a recent wander around my estate.

 

 

Actually a fourth one - drove in just before I saw these two but disappeared in among the houses.  Bit of a rabbit warren around here.

Shirley the CX would have more room in it than the plane. This is one of those things people do just so George Clarke will come and visit. Style over substance.

Antique fair at Kempton Park this morning. 

These have the perfect image for an antique fair even if the loadspace is nowhere near as good as, a Volvo. The boot floor is much too high. 

And this was in Guildford.

The owner, a teacher who goes by the name of Phil Collins, spent a fortune having the car stretched. He has had a bit of trouble with it in recent months, mainly to do with tyres (he uses metric) and damage to a wing panel.

It blew a front tyre on the way to the Chevrons Rally last year. He fitted the spare but I did wonder if it would have been possible to put one of the wheels from the middle axle on the front and drive it on five wheels as that's still one more than a normal CX has

I went out on the bike last night to check out an obscure part of town I hadn't been to before and stumbled on the home of that Passat I snapped on the road at the weekend. Behold its faded glory.

This MR2 was tucked away in the same area

And a couple snapped during the morning's truck spotting excursion. The Roller and Jag appeared to be together and both the Jag and Merc were on trade plates.

That Passat seems to be rolling on band-outs. Very curious, wonder what's under the bonnet...

DVLA says standard 1.8 and I'm sure those wheels have been fitted since I last saw it on Saturday, when it seemed to be on standard rims. It looks like a workhorse rather than an enthusiast's car. The filler work in the driver's door is quite impressive!

[SteersWithThrottle]

DVLA don't always have that correct, as we know. Many a muppet has put a bigger motor in a car without notifying them, nvm that it invalidates their insurance etc.

I like sleepers, but this one is positively comatose, if that's the intention.

And yes, the door repair is a 3D sculpture!  ?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is that, other than beautiful?

An Isuzu 117

There is at least one in this parish I believe.

Been meaning to catch these on the walk back from the pub for a while. Both statements but saying very different things...

[vonmon]

Spotted on my drive, the f-i-l's ace car.

 

[Steve79]

Just saw these on the classic car scrapyard finds on facebook. 

FSO Caro anyone?

Turd of all turds. I mean, I don’t even remember ever seeing one of these, let alone when did you last see... etc.

Spotted, in my workshop....

[Soundwave]

Ooh, can I play? All spotted on the same day last week, apart from the Pug, which I spotted last October (lazy indeed...).
