Saw a very tasty treat today, a very good looking 1995 Peugeot 405, 1.6, parked next to my loaner car

Related to the above, a spot that made me very happy yesterday. '91-93 Caprice in Alnmouth, a little rough though.

I thought this Moggy was on a 4x4 chassis so I had a quick look underneath. Nope, not 4x4.

The monthly meeting of the finescale railway modelling group took place,  and one member turned up in this:

Owner has had it from new and says it's the only car he's ever had. Has had long periods laid up whilst he was living and working overseas, but always brought back into daily use.

He's currently experiencing problems with a failing alternator; they don't make that particular type anymore and he doesn't have a spare.....

Lovely Clio RL spotted - in daily use, very tidy and lovely steelies! 
 

Failed to get a pic as was on a bypass but saw a driveway sporting two scruffy Triumph Dolimites, blocking in a 2005 Jazz, brilliant!

It's interesting to see how the Taunus is constantly changing in appearance, it's a daily driver and the owner (who has it since 1996) seems determined to keep it going.

Spoiler

2007:

35-86-XK

2013:

Ford Taunus 1.6

2019:

Ford Taunus 1600

I wasn't able to get a snap of it as I was driving, however there was a small white 2013 Nissan Van (NX200) Which had SERCK PLATES!!! in Romsey today

 

Clearly this was a person of culture

Sadly no photo as I was driving (seriously need to get Dashcams in the rest of the fleet...), but was passed in the other direction just outside Newport Pagnell by a bright blue Nissan Bluebird Saloon - looked absolutely mint from what I saw of it.  Not lowered or messed with either.

A few of spots from Stoke on Trent and Barrow.

No pic as I was driving (need a dashcam!), but spotted a wonderful early 2000s Suzuki Alto in Westcliff, it was yellow but most of the front panels had been replaced with silver ones presumably from a scrapper, can remember this sort of thing being a regular sight years ago but rare nowadays.

I followed this glorious MX-5 into Tesco. The rust, the primer, the lacquer peel, the fadeage, the torn roof; it had it all. Truly a beauty to behold.

I took the dog out for his morning walk and seeing this was a nice surprise on a very wet morning:
