One of those funny coachbuilt vans the USPS use and a digger outside Grand Central.

 

 

A Saturn apparently; weird looking thing.

 

 

Stupid looking truck.

 

 

Wacky sculpture at the UN building

Not much from me of late. There's a roller-painted Freight Rover 200 I keep seeing driven by a pipe-smoking older gent but I can never get a pic in time.

LWB facelift Rover 75 in Stockton-on-Tees earlier; silver, VE54***.  Naturally I was driving at the time.  Soz like.

That Volvo 240 would just look wrong if it wasn't slightly faded...

 

This was my most recent spot yesterday, when I had the weekly pilgrimage to the local Royal Mail Delivery Office - because our postie is incapable of ringing our doorbell.

 

 

Slightly surprised to see it out when there was salt on the roads...Braver than me!

This was spot on. Really lovely condition.

Shame it's got one of those awful Patriots soiling the picture; easily the worst car I've driven in a long time. Shit, not shite.

 

NYC street scene with shite econo-mystery machine and the obligatory Crown Vic

 

 

some Ford SUV thing with impressive tinworm

 

 

Septic bin motor shite

 

 

It's remarkable what you read in the local advert sheet.

I happened upon a clutch of these little bastards in the undergrowth today.

 

[Heidel_Kakao]

I papped this Amazon in Turku last night.

What a selection on this Lincs forecourt, H R Owen must be shitting themselves. Theres another 25 and a Granada Scorp hidden away, didn't like to snap then as they obviously hadnt quite finished the prepping.

Was having a quiet beer yesterday lunchtime when out of the corner of my eye I noticed something small and red moving about on the carpark at the back of the bar. Parking up. Oooooh.

 

 

What have you got there?....................a little red mini of vintage so rare.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And its right hand driving, imported from OZ years ago.

 

 

And then modified to improve performance.

Now........"all show and no go" you may be thinking............I was..........until the retired gentleman opened the bonnet for me to have a peek............Ho Lee Fuk.

 

 

 

 

 

The Term "Shoehorned an engine in" comes to mind.

 

 

[Zelandeth]

Immediate reaction: oh my god...Mini + concrete slab roads = torture device.

 

Thanks but no thanks.

[uk_senator]

Saw these babies within half an hour of each other yesterday, after not seeing any on the road for at least 6 months..

Funny how that happens sometimes..

  My Canadian bro-in-law has a 1340 Cooper.   Staring at 75 mph Peterbilt wheel-nuts at eyebrow height is no picnic either....

Mazda? Fleet Services.

 

Outside Waterloo.

Appalling weather on the M25 this morning wasn't putting off the driver of this Sunny.

No idea on most American cars so judging as this looks similar to a green hot wheels that's knocking about I'm going to say this thing hiding behind a motorbike dealers today is a Plymouth.

 

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Saw this on Monday during OMGSNOKAOS , can't help feeling the owner has read a bit to much into the cosmetic Streetwise concept.

I'm not really that au-fait with 70's Mopars, but I think it could be a72(?) Charger rather than a Plymouth, although there could well be a Plymouth badged version.

Someone will be along that knows the option codes for the stripes, no doubt.

[AlabamaShrimp]

No me neither. I just know it's big, is American and looks a bit like a toy car. If it's not an obvious Mustang or Charger I'm out

[davocano]

Looks like a '73 Charger to me.
