Passed an interesting garage today, the first thing that caught my eye was this A50 ute gasser, nicknamed "Bosstin".

Has a 7.0 Pontiac engine, and was featured in a top ten list of gassers in Street Machine magazine.

The Pontiac engine came from this '63 Bonneville which is now receiving an 8.8 litre engine (forgot what make):

There was this Ford Prefect/Popular/Anglia outside the workshop too:

Interesting place, the owner said they get all kinds of interesting stuff coming in and out so I'll see if I can pop by another time.

Was in Lewes today and spotted this with its lovely hand repainted numberplate:

Believe the 'Longroof' was on a day out with it as well. Also saw a pink mk1 panda but didn't get the chance to pap it :(

Those pressed plates were horrid to start with. Not a local car though

The only classy thing I saw in 2 days in Clacton-On-Sea.

Bet the neighbours love this bloke, half a dozen shagged out funeral limos in the street and at least another half a dozen hearses and Jags on the drive, not sure what use these things are once they’ve done a banger rally there’s nowhere but the oval to go.

if I’d been on my own , I’d have got a better picture, not allowed to touch my phone when Mrs in the car.

Wonderfully crusty 75 tourer in Chapel Point. The half arsed hammerite and primer on the sills are the icing on the cake! IMG_20201024_100401.thumb.jpg.bcf4feefd5799516d34d6da782190351.jpg

I think the woman in the next car is trying to solve the enigma of why you want a pic of her.

My friends car. It’s got flames on the front and various HGV paraphernalia. I was going to get a view of the front but you’ve been spared he started chatting and I forgot.

Couple of bits from this morning.

200D. How miserably slow must this be?

B533 BAV - 1985 Mercedes-Benz 200D

Saw the red Skoda first, then looked in front and spotted the blue one and it can't be coincidence they were together. MOT history says they were low-mileage cars but are both doing over 10k a year now!

Stumbled across this in Towcester when turning around having missed a turning.

Hope its not too old but that's me! Looks great from that far away. Where was that? Hah

It was going through Buckingham. Good to see you here and I'm sure we'd all like to hear more about the car as there's plenty of Volvo fans on AS.

Is that a Rottweiler security deterrent tied underneath or a snapped tow rope 🤔
