Today on the M25.

[Austat]

Saw some great chod today, first saw this nice pair:

Then I came across this garage which specialised in Italian classics:

First time I had seen a Montreal in the flesh since Motorclassica:

My favourite however was the Fiat 130 saloon they had. A local car that a guy had inherited from his dad after he passed away, now being worked on to get back on the road:

 

Coming back home I then saw this very nice HK Brougham...

... followed by this Type 3 Fastback:

[NigeT]

First time I've seen this MGB.

I really dislike the concrete sections of the M25, Ga dunk, Ga dunk, Ga dunk, Ga dunk, Ga dunk

Driving a DS helps.

I can remember driving home after a gig, about 3am, it got really hypnotic. I wonder how many 'driver asleep' accidents it's caused.

Since we've got a dog I've found some local chod less than five minutes from our house. We've been here eight years but I'd never walked up these roads as they don't go anywhere. 

I don't think Chieveley understood what I was trying to do here. 

The Transit I had seen from a distance. Having a dog gives you a reason to wander nonchalantly past these things. It looks even more impressive* close up.

Try it non stop for 8 hours driving from Iowa City to Lansing...I was about ready to throttle whoever thought concrete slab construction was a good idea.

[High Jetter]

The M25 has sure expanded since I last used it!

How about an 80's one litre Nova engine on the floor of a kwik fit in east Sussex.

I want to say Lotus Esprit, but not with 5-stud rims. Hmm, maybe a TVR 350C 350i? And some kind of yank-tank, Ford LTD maybe?

[HillmanImp]

Not spotted much recently as I don't get out much but thankfully this came to me as it was parked a few doors down from my house. 

[barrett]

I think it is an Esprit, and is that an Opel Rekord? Are they 'local'? Never seen those before and I've driven most of the lanes near Horsham

Later Esprit wheels are five stud. Probably started with the turbo.

I was further out in the sticks . I think it was an Esprit and maybe a ......., I'll have to go back and get another pic, they both had reg plates on

I'm on a 10 day self isolation because they changed the rules halfway through a holiday. It was worth it though. As per usual Corralejo delivers the goods:

Provided my brother, 2 Triumphs and a Bini. Misery.

Apologies for the blurriness of this photo of a nicely faded yellow E or F reg Maestro City van I followed yesterday.

 

[catsinthewelder]

South London?

I was parked by a house there over the summer with a yellow Maestro van like that and a red hatchback outside.
