Don't see too many rusty '69 Chargers parked in people's drives.

Even has the American Racing Vector rims, a la Dukes of Hazzard.

Looks pretty fuckered to me though

Still worth fixing, repair panels are all easily available.

I'd be more worried about the stuff you can't see, underneath. There's going to be a reason for all those props...

I could look at this all day - literal perfection... Well, except for the gingercators, perhaps...

Ideal boot sale transport from the other day.

Spotted at a local petrol station, maybe a bit fancy for Autoshite but interesting nonetheless...... Bowler Wildcat

Yesterday I spotted a chod tastic base model early Metro n the M40 but no way of getting a picture...Ho hum.

Jonny Smith of Filth Gear has a brown Charger with battle scars, except his isn't as rotten as this one.

She's been at it again ?

That house between mine and hers has gained an Opel Kadett in a wonderfully lurid green.

Speaking of wonderful green colours.

She's found this delightfully coloured Rover 100.

Saw these beauties in Manby, Louth today.

These were all near a cafe cum garden centre on the way from Louth to Scunny

2000 Sedan from about 1972. Final version of the Flavia but didn't use the name.

I think it was the bulge...

What about the dark coloured one, is it an Rene Extra or a Flat Fiorino....

Edit; it's another C15 innit

Nice little collection in the bushes,

When are you doing the collection thread??

I went out for a walk at lunch time and accidentally fell into 1992.

Both looked exceedingly tidy but nicely used.

That's like calling Father Ted "the second best priest".

There both moderns for some parts of the Suffolk countryside, surprising there's no horse and carts in the pictures ??

Loving that P71 cruiser. Got a massive hard on for having one of them as a daily.

I've seen the Notes in this colour but I don't remember seeing a Micra before.

That flag looks embarrassing down the side of that

That would be Norfolk for horses and carts.

I spent a large part of the summer in the extremely pleasant and very un-toxic country of Estonia (like going back in a time machine to 2019). Lots of interesting cars around, both soviet-era chod, yank tanks (think that's a general Scandinavia thing) & general classics. Roads were Norway-quality as well. Think the black limousine (spotted on the lovely Saaremaa island) might be a 1940's ZIS-110, Stalin's chariot of choice - up there with a 600 Grosser for dictator-cred.
