Im amazed the DS looks kind of comparible to the Jag in front width/length wise. Ive seen plenty of DS's but they never seemed large, optical illusion in the pic?

The owner had just got out and it did seem to be sitting very high. It might settle after a while. Meanwhile in the gym car park that we share with our office, an undoubtedly far rarer machine...

Rust Collector Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I can never find this thread when I need it. This was my spot last week. Like all my spots, it was at newhaven sainsburys whilst I bought a meal deal. There must be a serial DAF licker locally.

HillmanImp Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Went for a bike ride round Dalby Forest near pickering today. Stopped off at Matthewsons to have a snoop around but you can't really access anything anymore. Did have this out front though. We popped round the back and said hi to Derek who was at the gate and had a peer inside but I didn't take any photos. There was a fair bit of late 50s stuff getting shoved around, a TR2, Minor van and a Bedford CA. Marina door handles and Yoss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myglaren Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Trudging back from the shops, in the rain, a Robin Reliant © 😁 came flying round the roundabout, first one I have seen in years. B prefix, old bloke driving, mixture of shoddy black and blue panels. No photo as it happened too fast and I was loaded down with shopping. danthecapriman and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMort Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Some spots in Darwin: Bad photo of a Holden Statesman, which I don't think I've ever seen in the flesh before. Proton Jumbucks are surprisingly very common, but this is the only bright yellow one I've seen - like a knockoff Felicia Fun. Driven all the way up from Victoria, a 1995 Mazda 323 A pretty late ('84) Mk1 Land Cruiser And finally, a 1976 Holden Kingswood Utility Stinkwheel, Dyslexic Viking, Marina door handles and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but it's not A to B is it? It is A<2>B, which is some sort of mathematical equation that works out your chances of arriving at your destination. To be fair Royal Mail provided a damn sight better service when its fleet was almost entirely LDV, though that might not entirely be down to the type of van we use. I used to love driving them and was quite upset when they replaced mine with a Transit. Funnily enough nobody else agreed. They obviously weren't better than the Transit but they were more fun. catsinthewelder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
