Spotted this casually parked the other day. Drove past and the window was wound down, 3 hours later drove back and still in the same position and window still open! 

Either very trusting or very naive!

There must have been some kind of cycling bollocks in Scotland yesterday, as the Norwegian team had about 5 cars in convoy with various other nationalities dotted along the M74.

 

Anyway, one of them had a Hyundai Staria, which looks amazing.

I get the impression the designers may have glanced at custom Bedford CF vans in Street Machine circa 1985.. (this is not a criticism) 😁

This thing wasn't exactly hanging around, even with a giffer behind the wheel

Great spot. You've just made Mrs L feel really sentimental over her old teracotta '81 mk1 Fez which she owned as her first car years back.

Car like this in the pissing rain on the A5 yesterday near Shrewsbury - I don't think I've seen one on the road since maybe 2005?

Looks like we have a couple of heroes as neigbours.

The big hero is the fella with two Bentleys and the A8L

Next door has a proper XJ in a proper colour and there's a P38 next door again.

Not seen any of them move or 'not there' - but it's on my work commute so want to think they work shorter hours than me and use them daily on rotation......

 

...... or not.

You always find something interesting at Lidl.

I've posted this 75 before, it's been here for years, but it's now been joined by a stablemate.

And this lives four doors up from us. They used to have a K10 Micra for everyday use. They still have it in fact, locked away in a garage, I see it occasionally when the garage door is open. My guess is it failed an MOT on massive amounts of welding but they are too emotionally attached to scrap it. The Lantra was only used on Sundays and special occasions but has now had to be pressed in to everyday service.

In the 90s,I knew a bank manager's over-privileged and overindulged son lovely guy who imported LHD Spyders and got them converted. They drove well.

This thing comes and goes from this local car park. Or at least it is not always in the same spot. Always has a valid car park ticket - MOT, not so much. Impressive list of 3 "do not drive" and 10 "repair immediately" defects - none for corrosion though. Good job as it is quite loaded.picasso.thumb.jpg.b317949befe7b6591c2857ed20f178e9.jpg
