Some good posts for cars in colour above.

Met Miss C's excellent mechanic today who had these fine vehicles lurking around the place.  He also got her Corsa fixed and MOTed.

I like that 166 a lot! Any plans for it?

No idea, it's not the mechanic's but we can ask.

Undoubtedly the nicest sounding thing in that car park...

I dread to think how much the plate is worth. Also fuck iOS and its image rotation nonsense.

Would definitely be interesting to know, it certainly has the right engine.

Questionable choice for yesterday's weather.

Very crusty Fiesta XR2 in Ambleside and grotty 940 brick in Windermere.

That XR2 has been there for years and the owner has been asked a million times to sell it but he won't, it'll end up being swept onto a recovery wagon when he dies, the Volvo is next door to my dads house (almost)

We are staying in one of those houses just down the road this weekend, the note says that the car has been parked there with the permission of the father of the church last summer.

Yeah, its got to be up there with the Kings Cross Citroëns as one of the most photographed cars in the country. That's nowt against you photographing it @Schaefft I still would be excited to see it and would take photos too, maybe more so than other cars as its a bit of a celebrity. 

I actually saw this driving through Bradford city centre today. Not an Xr2 though but snazzy graphics. 

Suspect its had new clocks fitted, possibly more than once. 

Also saw this on the M1.

Spotted this out in the wilds of South Wales today. Rare even when they were new - now practically extinct.

Ooh, the Trident Way footbridge on Manchester road...

I haven't seen a Mk1 Fester in forever, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it

Meant to add this from the other day.
