Lazy spotters thread

[Yoss]

Yes, it seemed to be loaded with wood (it was going too fast for me to see properly). Perfect vehicle for a trip to B&Q.

(originally the cut off for white on black plates for private cars was the 1st of January 1973, but more recently the rules where amended that any vehicle over 40 years old can wear white on black plates as well)

I saw a '78 T2 with said plates just this morning and thought "R IT LEGALZ?" Every day is an education.

Yeah, also while im at it, white on black plates where legal for PSV vehicles up until Y prefix I think (not that I know of any that wore a set that late) but its why you see some Late suffix and early prefix London Transport buses on white on black plates

where funnily enough on those it does not actually look wrong, I guess A because im more use to it there, and B because they used proper number plates/actual white and black plates, and not modern tacky cheap pressed silver on white plates or what you have, that you see on a lot of cars these days like that allegro

I papped this sad trio on a small industrial park at the rear of Ebbsfleet (Northfleet) football ground.

Looks like the stretch limo game has taken a severe kicking during lockdown.

Also the mot history for the Chrysler is a bit grim as most years ball joint wear and brake efficiency is mentioned.

You would have thought if you were running a business carting young 'uns around the vehicles would be spot on or at least get them fixed before presenting them for a Mot.

A421 heading towards Bedford from Black Cat yesterday.

Polestar 2 spotted in the wild today 

 

[catsinthewelder]

This came pottering through the village earlier, appeared to be doing some work despite looking goofy too.

Speaking of which, my son spotted this the other day, anyone know what it is?  

[DVee8]

It could be a Fiat Topolino

[spartacus]

My first thought too...

[catsinthewelder]

Brilliant, thanks chaps.  I spent hours on Google images the other night but never thought to look at Fiats because I imagine they'd dissolve in about 10 minutes up in Scotland.

Your picture might be that one 10 years ago 😂

Borderline fucked. You can be the hero?

[High Jetter]

Sainsburys pez today. Saw the local gogomobil getting air as i pulled up next to a very clean XJ series 1. Too slo for a pic, sorry.

[catsinthewelder]

Sorry, far to many projects here already.  It is pretty though 😂

[sutty2006]

Spotted this today.  Lovely fiesta with a local reg number too!

Does that say Town and Country on the left front fender (I mean wing) ?

I know we have several prolific Essex spotters so we've probably had this before at some point, 42k miles Mazda 626 parked a short distance from its home

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Well looked-after but obviously driven regularly down in Chilham this afternoon.  Registered 1962.

 

[High Jetter]

Nice, but the N/S door fit isn't quite right.

[Soundwave]

@dollywobbler's Myrtle apparently has a twin a couple of streets away from me...

[rusty998]

Early 1.8td 107.000 miles, rear arches both need attention but otherwise really honest

Even got the welding patches in the right place

Gravity proved to much for the bodywork on this storage unit 

[Yoss]

Came out of Asda to find this parked next to me. Haven't seen a Terrano or Maverick for a long time. 

With good reason judging by the state of that wing. 

[rob88h]

I cycled past this cornucopia this afternoon. I’d like to go back and take a better look but whenever I’m at places like this I get nervous that I’m annoying someone (the owner)

A look on Google Earth shows an extensive collection round the back too. 

[barrett]

Definitely go back for some more pics, that looks like a proper shite goldmine! I know what you mean though, sometimes you can just tell the sort of owners who would 100% not be pleased about people sniffing round their cars. Then again, fuck 'em if they dont like it!
