Lazy spotters thread

Low-spec but squeaky-clean looking E36. 

 

 

Driver clearly on a mission.

 

 

 

Rare 'indicator option' version, too.

 

(Yeah yeah, I know.)

 

Rare enough sight these days, mind - and I'm a sucker for black bumpers.

Spotted by an acquaintance of mine somewhere in deepest Charente-Maritime:

 

 

DVLA records this one as SORN'd!!

[morrisoxide]

I spotted this a while a go. I couldn't make head nor tail of it. Surely it's not a GTI like it says it is? (I don't know much about this era of Peugeots) Missing moldings, wrong boot panel, that fresh looking paint job bothers me don't know why? Hope it's not "I've seen you coming" to who ever bought/buys it    Maybe I'm looking into it too much?

EDIT: odd indicators also

 

Moving on...  Have a cooler than normal camper van. 

 

 

Also spied this RR whilst on my holidaybobs.

I do like the boot pressing on these.

Poorly Pontiac near New Romney--

Spotted in the office car park, looked in great nick. Sadly didn’t see who the owner was.

Camero I believe, courtesy of both Dollywobbler and my other half correcting me on Twitter.  I have a serious mental blind spot for telling apart the various bits of this part of the 80s GM model line up.

 

Sadly no space or I would have parked the Lada next to it for maximum irony value.

Spotted in Berlin.

Spotted at my step daughters wedding reception. Stowupland.

Spotted this last weekend in Gorleston:

 

 

 

Looked tidy but also like it actually gets used

Spotted next to where I parked...

An unusual pairing in a small car park in Milton Keynes on Thursday. The Pluriel is really a logical successor to the Figaro if you think about it.

And this was a couple of spaces further down

That's bloody lovely. Have always wanted a Merc of that era, always been too rich for me though. Halfway there with the van at least...

Spotted today next to a wall I sat on.

Spotted this yesterday in a car park in Chelmsford, threw me a bit seeing it with Escort GTi (?) wheels but I think it looks great.

 

 

Was quite taken with this little 306 spotted in Cambridge on Saturday morning too.

Haven't seen one this early for a while, dealer plates too so this hasn't travelled far.

No idea what that is under the cat piss tarp but I remember my uncle pointing it out to me about 1990

[Fumbler]

Oh look, Morrisons has provided me with... a sideways picture.

It's fully debadged on the back so I'm assuming it's an 850. Paint is immaculate which is something I don't see everyday.

More like a 960.

My guess is as good as yours I'm afraid. In hindsight I should have photographed the back but there were two people (illegally) smoking next to it so I didn't want to stay for long.

The tail light cluster is visible in your photo - and it is definitely a 900-Series estate of some vintage. They are built from granite.

Old Man says 960. I agree, they're granite. We have an old V70 ourselves.

Extra points for a pair?

Ashley Heath boot sale and Winchester.

Looks like the last time I updated my contribution to this thread was April, so plenty to come!

 

 

I've seen this Saab multiple times around town now, pretty tasty.

 

This old Toyota survivor was looking sorry for itself with a bent doorframe and ramsacked interior on a side street in a posh bit of town. I've subsequently seen it repaired driving about, so someone loves it

 

 

Outside an expensive retirement almshouse

 

The v8 LR behind is just the right level of scruffy

 

 

This parks near my work regularly, LHD, TD Lancia

 

I'm trying a new local indy while I'm sorting my garage out. I was prompted by the sheer volume of interesting cars they seem to work on. 

This Honda was being re-commissioned after being stored, and all it's tuning parts checked.

 

Same Triumph, same hospital, 2 months apart

 

This hasn't moved in at least a year

 

 

[Fumbler]

Had the pleasure of this parking in the layby. Must be someone visiting the surgery. Or having an MOT later on.

Well done on papping that giffer W123, Yoss!   Everytime I think he must have given up driving or passed away I suddenly see it again!    He did have a turquoise split screen Minor too, much more shabby though..

[Yoss]

I thought you might know it, if it was a local car!

[500tops]

Seems legit

[lesapandre]

Early (very) morning food trucks hip London SE8.

[Braddon81]

Papped near Aberdare.

[Lacquer Peel]

Seems legit

A Jimny can tow 1300kg apparently, is that caravan heavier?
