I went to the Citroen Car Club Northern meet today at Wetherby Race Course. I don't think I got photos of all the cars, but I got 10 of them (including mine) so got 83% of them:

My other half is getting good at spotting shite and has threatened to sign up as well. Here is her latest offering.

This belongs to my mate who thinks he's Anneka Rice. It's basically a Discovery 200 TDi in a part frock, I like it.

 

 I went to a Autojumble this morning and apart from paying £12 for a "Cortina" clutch which turned out to be a Datsun Laurel 2.4 clutch i saw these.

And this Austin Seven had part of it carb sticking out of the bonnet!, Most strange arrangement.

mmmmm you've taught me all I know about autoshite x

That Mini's been chopped down a fair bit Trig, hence the carb sticking out the bonnet. Not sure if the top half has been altered much (apart from the de-seaming) but take a look at the petrol filler cap, which should be below the window line. Shows how much has been chopped from the bottom half, hence the shallower engine bay. It gives the effect that it's wearing larger sized later wheels but they're standard 10" ones - they just look massive in comparison to the rest of the body! Oh and please tell me that those aren't supposed to be rear doors on the AnnekaRice-mobile? Very pie unfriendly, if so.

 

BTW, have you sacked off your spotted thread? Hope not.

Why would you make a Mini smaller? Maybe they were trying to make this:

I hadn't even noticed it been cut down, Looks a decent job in that case, he was friends with matey in the Standard as i watched them leave together.

 

There's no rear seats in the Daker, just doors to a load area, as for my old spotted thread, well I've found it easier just to post in this one now, no one really commented on my thread anymore so kinda sacked it off in the end, maybe i should try and find it again?.

While out on a random Sunday drive in the 340 I spotted a house on its own with what looked like a 340 sitting down the side and a bunch of other cars around the back. I headed towards the house and went up the drive, this is what I found!

There was about 15 volvo 340's from what I could see, I gave the door a knock but there was no answer. I'll need to go back to find out the story...

It's behind Kwikfit at Lockwood. Seems to be a fair bit of turnaround going on!

 

Another angle.

This never moves and until now I've been consistently too lazy to picture it:

These have been getting a bit of love on here lately and this one caused me trouser arousal:

EDIT: No idea on why the aspect ratio is like that. They're fine if you click to view in full size though.

Local supermarket spots. Quite a late gaffa taped maestro - maybe a Ledbury- looked like a proper old workhorse.

Here's some worthy old shit I've seen recently...

 

Spied this sat in a driveway in Boston. I sent the dude a text but he message me back saying he wanted 3 grand for it. Oh how I lol'd. It's a wee bit grotty but apparently only has 40k on the clock...

 

Picture845.jpg

 

 

Local giffer transport...

 

Picture506.jpg

 

 

Car boot sale chod. A remarkably non-pineappled Caddy...

 

Picture505.jpg

 

 

These must be nearing extinction now...

 

Picture503.jpg

 

 

Millennium spec boy racer...

 

Picture980.jpg

 

 

And the pick of the bunch. I was VERY close to knocking on the door to enquire about this bad boy. I've never been a big Ford fan but I dig these old tanks (and Mk4s). It's still showing a few months rent in the window but flat tyres all round suggests it may be borked in some way....

 

Picture982.jpg

 

 

It's so awesome it deserves two pictures...

This is the last shot my old camera took before it died

An Alvis,  the owners walked up behind me while I was papping it and stopped for a natter.

 

My new camera turned up today so I could pap this Dutch plated Rebel and fucking dreadful camper

I saw a Regal saloon on the way out of the carpark so I'll assume there was summut on locally.

Blimey, that's a rare sight! Plenty of locks on the gate I see, so they must have some idea how nick-able it is.

This morning at the depressing bootsale in Cardiff I was surprised to see this parked up

After spending my morning browsing some ace cars in the grounds of a castle, I got home, went for a run and came crashing back to earth with a bump:

DSCN0676_1_zpsd865ca10.jpg
DSCN0675_1_zps3227ad6c.jpg

 

I still can't believe that this was factory, I could probably make better myself with an angle grinder and a silvercross pram. And I'm in an incompetent oaf.

 

This no doubt belongs to some dodgy character (AMG wheels, spoiler, it's an old S-Klasse). Also a clear case of plate worth more than the car:
