Did they think it was a rat rod?

Some Germany spots from over the holidays. The variety of cars is still noticeably higher than in the UK where everything seems to be a company car from the last 10 years. The Fiesta might have been the biggest surprise, these usually turned into dust 15 years ago, especially when driven in winter.

Apologies for the quality, but there's some local stuff shown above, can't really go poking up there because there's a house behind.

Fist time I’ve seen one of these in the wild. Check the metal fold quality - shite! 😂

That is hideous!

My place of employment has a pretty eclectic mix of stuff that comes in. The maserati might as well be a spitfire

Land yacht for those who enjoy them

This is always on the drive here....

2025 is off to an excellent start with this:

magnificently shoddy, but still a daily driver. I managed to speak to the owner, an elderly Italian chap who’s had it from new. He took my number and said I could come and see it another time after he cleans it..!

More glorious shite from the backstreets of New York.

Couple of out-and-about snaps, courtesy of my ever-alert co-driver:

Couple of 2CVs, presumably on the return leg of a wintry Antrim Coast Road drive.

B616NAJ - clearly enthusiast owned, and tidy but well used.

MSL979 - a few mods, but in good fettle overall. Nice to see stuff getting used.

And here's an eyesight test for you...

Spot the shite, anyone?

Anyone?

Bit of a zoom, maybe...?

Just above the modern Pug's roof!Luckily we got through the Abbeycentre traffic and managed to catch up with this gloriously shonky Montego Estate.

A fairly late example on an L-reg, with grey primer visible round the arches.

Clearly, there's an unapologetic shiter in the Belfast area that I'm unaware of...

Hmmmm, thats an iffy one. Registered as a 1956 car. I can see not one single 1956 part on that car.

Lets put it this way, that is about as legit as a pre suffix registered mini with internal door hinges

Gosh an Oldsmobile Delta 88, I used to have the 'Brougham Royale' model with vinyl roof.

What a colour!

A few spots from around Dublin during the week:

Two Carina IIs in the same day. The grey one belongs to nuns, I would love to get my hands on it. 

A very rough Sirion with my posher Toyota Duet for comparison.

They did a limited edition  Scottish version, The Fleetwood Mac.

There was nowhere for me to pull in and get a proper shot and there was someone coming up behind me so I had to make do with a quickie out the window.

That Vivio is a top find, and the Micra Van.

A couple of 60/s/70s bangers, the Avenger has been seen before, the Capri used to be local to me and has been in various states of 'repair' for years.

Yes, a daft error!

It's not @Schaefft, it's Schaefft's Welsh cousin. Spotted these two in Llanberis yesterday.

[Schaefft]

That's awesome
