Confused old man in a Fiesta

Old couple having a domestic in a Cavalier. With sandwiches.

33687611.01f66ca7.640.jpg?r2

 

Chevrolet Avalanche. Damn hell ugly from the front. Which is maybe why it's called Avalanche: 'cos you'll run screaming if it's coming towards you. Sorry for the crap pic.

33688487.dfd61e89.800.jpg?r2

 

VelSatis V6 TD. Brave...

Scabby Supra.

33222885.99b0ee8b.640.jpg?r2

The VelSatis and the Supra have one thing in common: both on actual blue badges. Not parked like a c*nt.

 

Moar crappy Renault...much want.

I suspect this thread is for me, I didn't find one for "spotters that are so lazy they didn't take any pictures" thread yet so it'll have to do.

 

Actually, I just found myself at the town's Monday market, up the back was the usual collection of garbage shite and I thought that now I'm starting to get the measure of this place I should take some pictures. Umm, no camera, no mobile, nada. :(

 

Ah well, have a screen cap of the stojadin I was stuck behind on the way there

A little further up the road and "What the f..k are you doing? Why have you stopped? Is 101 your age? Oh, now you started indicating, shame you didn't do that before, you witless old...etc."

 

Love the optimistic towbar.

DSC_0081_zpsaabziix3.jpg

 

last but no means least are these two beauties obviously owned by a winner in life, mrs fordperv spotted these while she was out with work yesterday and was that excited by her spot took me to see them when we finished work last night, for the eagle eyed amongst you, yes the maroon one is a 2.3d L for added misery

Still on the subject of sad Triumphs, this sorry thing is about a mile from the Herald but 6 months after the fire is now protected (?) under a car cover. 

 

post-17481-0-99558400-1405761695_thumb.jpg

 

I doubt that anything is reusable from it, except maybe the cylinder block, but Triumph engines are not hard to find  so why bother?

I would want that mess off the premises as soon as!

This had the best parking spot at the car boot too, looked the part. Sounded deiseley when the owners came back, bit slow to start though

Not worthy of a separate thread; small car show down the road from me. I didn't know it was on and from the attendance neither did many other people.

Half-tidemark on this Rascal:

Not usually a fan of T25s but the scruffiness of this one attracted my interest:

Imagine driving off on your holidays in this. What a winner at life the owner must be! Not even sure what it is (might have had the residue of an Iveco badge now that I think of it).

Not updated this for a while. Have also fallen out with Photobucket as the updated application keeps fucking up my phone so I am trying Flikr. Will see how this works.

Hilux 'Surf' was probably their attempt to appeal to middle class people interested in activity sports. In hindsight they probably should have called it insest, beastiality or metal theft as they seem to be soley driven by farmers or pikeys.

This looked pretty nice from the back:

Not so keen on the front though. Will be interested to see what the story is with it though. Looked quite well done.

Was outside Halfrauds. Probably getting some sick lights or a fake dump valve or summink?

Don't mind if I do. Mrs Imp was well into this but was oddly not as keen on anything I could ever afford to buy.

The MR2 next to the 1st one is probably the worst car I have ever seen at a show. Okay you get some bad cars that ate so bad they are good but it looked like the cretin who did that really were trying to go for that 'look'.

G15. In most places in the country you would presume this is owned by someone called Les but we were in Hebden Bridge and which seems to be populated by Lesbians. Not the kind you see in films either that are thin, blonde with massive wabs who get bored of each other after a while and need some cock, I mean dungaree wearing, rugby players with flat-tops.

Its a 2 day event. I did not register but you could turn up on the day but I did not decide to go until late and being in Hebden Bridge I thought the traffic would be naff so we went in the birds car.

 

Yesterday was 60-80s cars and today was pre 60s. There are other things in it too but the stalls were a bit crap yesterday.

 

I buess you would be pretty miffed if you have bashed your tidy Ro80 wouldn't you? Did not see the owned he was probably round the corner buying some filler and paint.

Is that Camper not an ex prison lorry?  It looks an awful lot like it is.

Had a weekend away and managed a couple of finds. The Vitara was hiding in a hedge near where we were staying and the SM was on the M4 I love these cars but probably out of my range now.

I saw a couple of them at a dealer's in Milton Keynes once, must have been about 30 years back. I can't remember how much they were but well within my pocket. I did know a fair bit about them so I ummed and arred for a while and decided I'd never be able to afford to run one. Ok, I chickened out :oops:

 

Meanwhile, waiting for a mate in a carpark here I spotted some old crap shite you lot might like:

The first two were actually quite tidy, the Yugo just looked well worn but looked after.

Is that a 600?

 

Also has there been some sort of SM thing going off recently? There have been loads of spots of them on Facebook?
