Is that a feed to a battery charger?

I did wonder that but i didn't venture too near the car as it had a fearsome dog in it and i didn't know how far away the owner was!

Spotting highlights of this week were both Saabs. The 900 Turbo on 162,000 miles at last MOT, and the 99 on 185,000. Testament to the quality of that Saab block.

That 99 is the one from Flipping Bangers isnt it?

The Fiorino is doing sterling service, about 6000 miles over the last 16 months, even after  its been parked up for 3 or 4 weeks, always started first time, no ftp's to date.

Pictured earning its keep last winter.

Wowzer, what's the chances? Sorry to stalk you! Lovely old van that. See you in the Blewitt or Heddin's Ford once we're safe to do so mucker.

Okay, Morris Minors don't generate that much interest normally, they are probably the most common car of their era but this is different. 

 

How many are still working for a living? But just look at it. Zoom in and take in all the details. It's perfect. 

I'm afraid I'm calling fauxtina on that one. Still good to see one working, though

Sorry, rubbish photo as it was about half a mile away.

Hard to believe how rare it is to see a Saxo these days.  Seemed like yesterday that they were utterly everywhere.

I imagine plenty of chavvy boy racers have driven them into ditches & trees over the years.

What's more Autoshite than a slightly scruffy Xsara Picasso?

Still has to be one of the most cleverly thought out and practical cars out there.  While they won't win any awards for being exciting, there are very few real world tasks that they can't do with ease.

Also spotted a T plate Xantia HDi today I don't recall seeing before, but was driving so don't have a photo.

Edit:

Okay, in answer to my own question maybe?  Is this even more Autoshite than the Picasso?

Sorry for the less than stellar photo, shooting more or less straight into the sun.

Spotted in Wickes car park earlier. A Midas, I really wanted one of these when I was in my early teens, although it was the model before this. I'd still like one now, this ticks a lot of boxes, easy to maintain, cheap to run, small, light, reasonably quick. 

Damn, I've nearly talked myself into one!

Edited because I initially got the make wrong! Doh!
