seen on the A303. With those graphics on the back I wonder if the owner comes here?

R129 at the German equivalent of the DVLA, random Challenger and a German spec Chrysler Pacifica. I didn't even know they officially sold them here, amazing.

Edit: They never did, grey import then!

Also facelift E39 Touring with full sport treatment.

US market Nissan Rogue on Ukrainian plates. It's the license plate holder that caught my attention, the Nissan Rogue club! The Facebook group has been comedy gold in the past.

Still plenty of Polos around, now more as an easy to own classic. The same applies to the Lada Niva which are pretty common in the area, although much newer.

 

The Wartburg 312 estate was a great spot, such a clean example.

Are Clio estates a thing in the UK? Alfa Spider was in perfect condition, the E30 not but still looking great and now on historic plates.

[Schaefft]

A6 C4 Avant daily, W124 are just as common. Also second Gen Camaro shell I must have driven past dozens of times but never noticing.

Spotted these two recently. A fairly late model E30 touring and a Xedos 9. The Xedos was a rare enough sight when it was new, let alone now.

Supercharged miller Cycle Xedos 9 on top of that, lovely!

Ahh - missed that when I linked to the eBat tat thread - how about a ULEZ refugee '9' for £2795?

I was rather surprised to see it. It's hardly been used either.

It's great to see such a clean low mileage example still existing in the UK but what the hell is the seller on about with that limited edition nonsense? It's just a normal 2.5 as most.

Want! Would be even better if it was any of the other colors they were offered in, especially the black/grey two-tone. The holy Grail xedos 9 for me.

The Wartburg 312 estate was a great spot, such a clean example.

Not just a Wartburg 312 estate, but what was called a "camping" estate, with four doors (normal 312 estates had 2) and the huge glass area at the back, some of which was tinted. This idea was later called an aero deck by the likes of Volvo et al. WHAT A SPOT!!

I REALLY want that Wartburg, what a stunning looking thing!

Seen this vx1800 today whilst waiting on an MOT. Rang uncle later and by coincidence it's going into him next week for back arches.

Remember this. Its landed. Classing this as a lazy spot as it was in the unit anyway. Appears to be at the removing filler stage at the moment. Rest of it is really sound, just needs the rear arches.

My Sony Xperia 2 mobile keeps slipping around in my fingers whenever I try and take a photo. Could do with an upgrade with a leather case next time.

Here is what I saw this morning on my way to the Post Office...

There's a little one man garage round the corner from my delivery. This Cortina turned up a few weeks ago looking every inch a barn find covered in dust. I posted a picture then. But even covered in dust it looked tidy. Well they've washed it and it is indeed very tidy. 

The Escort normally sits in the corner of the garage and I've never seen it outside before so this was definitely photoworthy. 

 

And Mrs Yoss took this out on a dog walk. She's learning.
