Drove to Morrisons in this. Just for the hello of it.😁

Yeah, right! 🤣

A quick pic of a dismal looking Escort mark 5 estate on a retail park this morning. According to the databases it comes up as a "Foden Unknown diesel".

Wasn't going to bother with this K11 'Twister', as no chance of a decent shot. However I had an inkling it may have been in long term ownership; which it had (since 2006), so thought I may as well capture it.

These still look just right.

I like your style.  Exactly the sort of thing I'd do!

Confused the hell out of a lot of people when I had the camper that I did use it just as a daily driver a lot of the time.

They’d be expecting Chris Eubanks to step out.

That cab appears be heavily based on the 814 cab. I know Freightliner is owned by Daimler, innit.

Because a Justy isn't small enough. I think this little Subaru Vivio will be my spot of the year.

A brilliant spot! I'm a Subaru fan but have never seen one of these before! The later Justys are basically a re-badged Daihatsu Sirion (or is it that the Sirion's a re-badged Justy?) This looks like something I've seen before, but I can't think what it's like.....

Only remember seeing one other before when I was a teenager when these were new models at the time. It was a solid green one that I think belonged to a manager of an M and M newsagents around the corner from my family home.

If you are going to have a Porsche with 4 wheel drive, you might as well make the most of it.

The dealer I bought my first Skoda from back in 92 was also a Subaru dealer and had a couple of Vivios in stock brand new together with a couple of SVX's. I remember admiring both of them in different ways though I don't think either went on to be big sellers.

Or completely ruin it depending on your point of view.

A few from my recent trip to Romania. I have to say old cars are now very rare over there, I had to put in a lot of legwork to get these. 

[Yoss]

It took me a long time to hit the jackpot. I saw five of these when I was here two years ago but this was the only one this time. 

At least I thought that was the jackpot until the last night when I found this outside the hotel in Bucharest. 

But what I didn't notice until I came back later was these two parked behind it. I mean what a trio. 

I can't help wondering about the Ascona. It predates the fall of communism so I doubt it was bought new in Romania and was probably imported later. Just makes you wonder its story.

Why is that? Cultural priorities? Some kind of scrappage scheme?

I don't know, you'd have to ask @TataBobu. I'm guessing the same reasons as over here, lots of cheap finance deals.
