In the depths of the Barnsley Rotherham boarder today a wild Reliant appeared

It was hand painted.

Ha, small world. I've seen the GMC parked there before and bombing about, just never got a pic of it.

Another spotted pic on the same road (near what was the Vegas fish bar iirc)

I live very near by and know the person that owns them. They hire out limos as well.

I was away in Germany for a few days last week, and on Friday a Dutch car club rolled in for a lunch stop. It was mostly the usual supercars under a year old, but with a few older gems worth a picture.7faa9b9593ff5cfc5c6b4acafce69bf9.jpg50968ea2d7d1c6b77b25d0e282d3ae9d.jpg86eef67521b739f786e3a2862255c36f.jpg

I saw a few nice classics out on Sunday amongst all the MGs but didn't get any photos as I was driving so you'll have to put up with these.

The Jag has been there at least 15 years.

These three were all in the main car park in Petersfield.

This was snapped whilst sitting on a bench while Mrs Yoss was doing a tour of the charity shops.

Tres lazy, I didn't even need to stand up.

 

Then spent several excruciating miles behind this on the A272.

I mean it's a 940 FFS and they never went over 40 all the way. Even the sewage lorry that was between us at one point was trying to push them along a bit.

Ha ha, all this Swanley talk. My wife is from Swanley and her parents only moved from there earlier this year. So from visiting the place several times a year, for the last eighteen years, I'll probably never see the place again.

 

It is essentially an Asda with a couple of bits round the edge. Whichever way you come in you end up at Asda. New Barn Park was indeed the best bit and only two minutes from Lorraines parents house.

 

Can't say I'm going to miss the place but It was lot easier to get to than Hunstanton where they've moved to now.

The big leisure centre is quite good.  Ran sessions there for a while.  They were very accommodating and decent.

 

Other than that, it really is just a big Asda...

Bad pic sorry but users of the Walsall or Birmingham Cross City lines cannot fail to have missed the scrappy with Volvo on the roof just north of Aston. All the other wrecks come and go but the Volvo hangs on. I think they’ve forgotten that they put it there.

Spotted in the Cental Milton Keynes Halfords etc car park today.

 

They seem to be one of those cars that stopped being a common sight very rapidly...Big casualties of the scrappage scheme?

This lives a couple of streets away from me. A creative solution to a rear end shunt I reckon - but quite well done  :-D

That's actually not bad at all. Almost factory, and has probably made loading easier.

Yep. Lights, tailgate & bits of the rear wings & c pillar. Whoever did it clearly knew what they were doing.

All it needs now is for someone like, say, "captain_70s" to turn up....

?...Chinese Matiz ripoff shite being driven round the area by an old giffer. Major want

Ladies and gentlemen, a RHD (probably SA import Chery QQ3 TE. Reckon it might be the only one in the UK.

.....

It might have difficulty passing an official crash test....

Yep zero star ncap. Crash test makes for uncomfortable viewing!

Explains why Chery products were never officially imported into Britain. They'd still have difficulty now.

 

Only Chinese cars we've got here are the MGs, some Red Flag pickup trucks, and a small number of electric BYD 5-door hatchbacks (intended as taxis, but the deal fell through). Only other major Chinese presence I can see is Kinglong's coaches.

Spotted this on the way out of the garage where I got the A4 tyres changed. Actual for sale too.

 

Is this an aftermarket job or did Ford let them out the factory like this? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Ford did tbh.

Someone's tried to do a RenaultSport* paint job? Or poverty Harlequin?

Gorgeous Jag outside the transport cafe where I went for a black pudding, egg and sausage jumbo yesterday.

 

Unfortunately some fucker had parked an e-type in the way so couldn't get a better shot.fc0c13798ee7bcccec2fa536c47dd5ac.jpg
