P5B is a good second choice thought, roughly equal with a Stag or TR6. Meanwhile, spotted in Barrow... Gorgeous. I do hope it has something up front to back up those drainpipes! Looks like the owner had the car painted WITH the dint in the top front N/S wing? paint overit looks perfect tho. Nice Capri, anyone know Rover or Ford V8 shoehorned in or maybe Chevy 350 ??

CreepingJesus Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I did think that myself, I must admit. But there was evidence of recentish work around the back axle area, so I assume it's taking its' sweet time to settle down. Either that or the keel fin on the surfboard is made of pure dark matter...

Joey spud Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I first saw this cutting through Dorking high street a few years back and never forgot it. The artwork (can't call it graphics) is most impressive,faded Martini Racing stripes with added scuffs and dirt really sets it apart from just another ''belly button" Porsche. sdkrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I wouldn’t normally take a photo of an Astra G, but two more or less identical 18 year old cars parked next to each other seemed too good to miss. Both 02 plates, both LS spec, even the same alloys! This is the sort of thing you see in Herefordshire. This era of car isn’t even considered particularly old round there.

The first vehicle I ever drove was one of these in white. A few years later I got alarmingly large amounts of air when I bit a hump back bridge at a significant speed... something that heavy should not be able to spend that much time in the air.

CreepingJesus Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 First four by that I drove on the road was a white LWB Frontera, which had just been fitted with proper mud pluggers, so it looked the part in the showroom. Coming back, I had a moment when some tosser stopped without indicating, to turn across traffic: it was hit them or the parked cars on my left, I didn't think the Frontera had the brakes or handling for the 40mph swerve. It proved me wrong and crawled through the gap with aplomb! Come to think of it, I haven't seen a Frontera in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Some absolute crackers turning up lately! They make what I've seen look a bit disappointing but nonetheless here's a few interesting things that were out and about at the weekend. Particularly pleased to snap the Granada as I've seen it around a few times and it looks mint.

STUNO Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 No photo as no camera. I saw an elderly couple walking towards one of these, they looked and were dressed just like the owners should, right down to his flat cap. But they walked past and got into the car in front, one of these I had to smile just a wee bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
