Lazy spotters thread

Spotted these 2 in Warrington yesterday

Currently in Japan, the variety of weird and wonderful is overwhelming but I couldn’t help take a snap of this

 

[Aston Martin]

[straightSix]

Proper giffer spec Volvo spotted earlier and a Suzuki SJ?

 

[aotb]

A few from my trip to Czechia/Slovakia last week. I think most of the eastern block stuff dissapeared a good decade ago, about as fast as the sills on about half the cars in Slovakia. 

The Trabi looked like it was being driven by the original owner.

There must have been a Yank meet going on. Got a very enthusiatic greeting from a guy in some kind on 70s barge around Liberec.

Only a few of the rear engined Skodas still around.

No one will notice.

One of very few Matiz seen - Part of a silly competition, hence BL's finest also making an appearance.

Xantia and Golf were both part of the group. Only one needed some mechanical attention.

There's a few Felicias hanging on. 

The TT looked to be a UK import. Not sure if the paint fell off before or after it came over.

Finally, a lovely 205 D turbo, clearly just being used as a car.

Saw this on the motorway earlier, I think it was an Aston Martin badge, but not 100% sure?

It’s a Morgan. Aero8 ? Badge is similar to AM.

Just found out they did a Morgan Midsummer. They stopped making them as too many owners were being murdered!

(Actually would have been a good car for the new Bergerac series).

Ah thanks, that makes sense. Aston's seem to look very modern at the mo, this looked new but more retro, the Morgan makes sense.

It is a Morgan Midsummer, the Aero 8 has been out of production for a while.

Very rusty up close

Yesterday in Frascati

[brownnova]

It was like living in the 1990s in Ruthin and Denbigh today! 

[IronStar]

A very mid-00s fiat day in front of Chateaux Star today

bonus 500 parked behind Stilo

[Jerzy Woking]

100 yards from my house, parked in a garden. I've only noticed it after living here for five years...

Still plenty of Matiz in Hungary. 

Although this one was in Romania. 

Amongst other things. 

Almera with a boot. 

Chrysler 300C badged as a Lancia Thema. That's not right is it. 

Fiat Albea? 

Mazda 626!

And what appears to be a mk4 Golf van. It looks factory. If it was home made it looks well done. 

 

One for @wuvvum

And finally. 

[Yoss]

I am biased but I thought this deserved its own post. 

[Yoss]

And of course the ubiquitous Suzuki Swift. Still the national car of Hungary and still plenty about. This is just a small selection. 

Including booted versions. 

And this spectacular gold one. 

[EyesWeldedShut]

Lunchtime today, Devil's Bridge > Aberystwyth. Some old car run. Bit shite as cropped them off the dashcam chip.

MGRV8, Moggie,  Old thing, Aston Martin Thingy, Bubble Doo-Dah, AUTOSHITE, Spitfire and today's winner (for me) Vitesse

Nice looking Fourtrak.

Saw these (mostly the Peugeot but the BMW was tidy) a few streets from mine yesterday. I walked a way I never usually do
