Parked up with a load of chod near a football club in Fazeley near Tamworth. No idea what’s going on here though.

Given the Nintendo stickers all over it, I suspect a reference to the ghost vacuuming machine in Luigi's Mansion:

Can't be any worse than the New Beetle and Bini with gigantic Red Bull cans on their backs

Looks a good deal safer than the Mario Kart Experience you can do in Tokyo:

Spotted this going the other way on the motorway, is it what I think is?

Fiat 2300 Coupe?

Think a few of us saw this on FB. Thats going to be a brave resto for someone as it looked rotten AF. Surprised they managed to winch it on there without it snapping in half!

FSO Lanos for your viewing pleasure.

Rather uncommon these days. The vast majority of Lanoses were badged as Daewoo. Also, the last car to bear the illustrious FSO badge. :(

Been on holiday enjoying the many different traffic jams all along the south coast, literally everywhere you wanted to go, and back again. 

Volvo on Brighton seafront.

Also saw this at Bluebell railway, which whilst not actually anything to do with Volvo, does have it in the name.

Isle of Wight if full of chod isn't it. Everyone has a project on the drive, saw loads plodding about too. I didn't get much as was generally driving but I'd like to ride a bike round there with a camera and take photos of it all. 

Imp Jr appears in a few of these too as he wanted to show his friends, so apologies about that.

This was my attempt..... IMG_20200827_141712.thumb.jpg.2db75b34357423e6f040aeaa8aa4113f.jpg

..... to take a photo of this place that I've screenshotted from GoogleMaps.

Just by the harbour. 

IMG_20200828_121042.thumb.jpg.e57c35f61e4f37ae35f3540f737b1308.jpg

Walked a few feet further and found this, just sat in the car park.

But across the road was this bad boy. 

IMG_20200828_145506.thumb.jpg.5b3371c12364fab86d80ec67585ba39e.jpg

Looked amazing. 

Thats it. Saw loads coming the other way when I was sat in traffic one place or another, just didn't get many photos as wasn't quick enough with the camera. 

Also saw this on the way back yesterday.

I am up and down the M40 and M6 most weekends at the  moment house hunting (in the Stoke/Staffordshire area).  Annoyingly my dash cam has been hit and miss with what it saves but it did capture this early NSU Prinz being towed behind a camper..

Saw these 2 along with a Minerva Land Rover in That London last week, assumed the Lancashire were replicas, but apparently there was a concours at  The Honourable Artillery Company in Finsbury and they were heading east when I spotted them outside a chip shop on Theobalds Rd.

All over! My better half has landed a nice new job based in Warrington (yes I know its an hour from Stoke but its closer than Hampshire and her parents are based in Stone and she wants to move closer). We are looking at a variety of options around Stoke, Market Drayton, Woore etc. We may have found a place but wont know till after the Bank Hols if they will accept our offer.

Two Minor Vans that I know of, these two have been in the same place for 20 years at least without moving,  my old Boss tried to buy one 20 years ago but the owner wasn't interested in selling, they have been left to the weather and are decaying beautifully 20200809_174113.thumb.jpg.46a65570f97a1c31749e18b36d5be6b8.jpg20200809_174103.thumb.jpg.82d4d2ac60cf260a87e087791280595f.jpg20200809_174146.thumb.jpg.c409c51b5579d7d32d2496baa8a45f53.jpg20200809_174120.thumb.jpg.625d8560f63de08b965516afe717d01b.jpg
