Just seen in Lidl car park.  Phone camera, couldn't see the screen so this took up about 1/100th of the image, zoomed and cropped with The Gimp.

Addington keeps on providing..... 

In daily use.... couple of small holes but overall quite tidy.

And this is also rolling around on general duties....

Yard sale bod had a couple of interesting old luggers..... I'll probably drop by again and ask if I can snap his ancient travellers unit he lives in and the covered cars I didn't get today. 

Just these 2 for now..... 

IMG_20220709_124911.thumb.jpg.6bbd339b5b15882ea279eff544867354.jpg

And mullered flatbed transit I couldn't get closer to due to the piles of crap.

Arrived at our Airbnb in the middle of nowhere, Croatia and were greeted by this Escort. Even here it couldn't escape the rot.

Think this will be my spot of the month:

DMC-12.thumb.jpg.21b4c53d13921683dfc41bc4885a5db1.jpg

Not often you see one in the wild - and it sounded very poorly when pulling up (illegally, as that's a MoD place) and departing.

There was a classic car show in the Town on Saturday, it was great to see proper cars parked in the streets. With the very hot weather it reminded me of when I was a child.

The farmers parked opposite Weatherspoons to enjoy a few Ciders.

Irked I didn't drop myself down a bit lower to hide the car in the background for this one.

Likewise...fouled up the focus on this one.

Pretty sure that's an A series, going by the wide black grille. Profiles were the same, but the Transit's big brother was a broad lad. Didn't hang around all that long, so it's somewhat rarer.

Šibenik turned out to be a bit of a gold mine for obscure econo boxes of the past.

First of all, a freaking 1981 Chevy Chevette in remarkable condition. Immediately spotted from the other side of the marina.

Plenty of ex Yugoslavia chod as well. I didn't even know a Yugo Tempo existed, I thought it was a Metro at first! Also Zastavas.

I can't remember ever seeing a Daewoo Tico either. The Kia Pride is a very common sight in this area of Croatia it seems. Also Uno.

Last but not least, an Audi 100 in peak late 70s/early 80s mustard yellow next to a Yugo and the mandatory W201 Merc.

I have seen this at many local small car meets. But it was wonderful to see it out in the wild.

Giggles at the Google it sticker.

197576839_DSC_2184small.thumb.jpg.dd8e6256d4020d2a4b857a405bbe29c6.jpg

It got overtaken by a Model T center door, by some strange coincidence.

The Matrix must have spawned the wrong cars that day.

Note Passenger took the pictures.
