That 121 has been sitting at the Crown Honda / Suzuki dealership for quite a while now. It's stuck there with a few other cars, probably awaiting a service / repair of something. I found out today that the 2CV-type roof is known as a "Fun Top". Given that the thing's had 27 years of the elements, I wouldn't be surprised if it has sprung a leak or two. The roof evidently doesn't fit properly when fully-closed probably because of years of stretching and contraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenKC53 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Smart, clean Vauxhall Cavalier. I don’t think this design has aged badly at all certainly the best version Opel Vauxhall put out.

NigeT Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Spotting highlights of this week were both Saabs. The 900 Turbo on 162,000 miles at last MOT, and the 99 on 185,000.

Six-cylinder Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 In a village not to far from home I have seen this pair and today while out on approved activity I took a moment to photograph them. The roads were so quiet I could pause blocking the village road, move up and pause again without a single car needing to pass in either direction. Using car checker the Omaga CD is a 2.2 Auto and the Rover an 820Si. The Omaga looks like it is in use and the Rover has cobwebs on it. Both cars have good MOTs and are taxed.

rob88h Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I went out on the CycleShite at the weekend and captured a cache of early 00's that has been catching my eye. What can be seen from the road is probably less than 15% of what’s there when I spy from Google Earth ?. I was too law abiding to investigate deeper - never seen anyone there to ask. I'll go back in winter once to foliage has died down to see more of what's there. Angrydicky, DarrenKC53, CreepingJesus and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob88h Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This next cache I cycled to is massive and probably known about on this forum somewhere? It seems to be exclusively Mercedes and I’ve be told it belongs to a hero called Mercedes Bill, which seems fitting. I think he used to run a business out of it all, but I don’t know what’s going on with it now. Stuff still moves around. I don’t have good photos because, again, I didn’t want to trespass and there was no-one there to talk to. I should be brave one day and go in, especially because I’m running a knacked S123 – he could probably put me out of my misery.
