HIPSTER OVERLOAD!!!

A number of good* spots today:

 

 

Love the colour on this RR although strangely it had a black drivers door with an orange handle, despite being registered as grey? Nevertheless, good to see one in a colour, especially a full fat TDV8 Long Wheelbase.

 

 

This was a peach of a thing, easily handled the M1/M25 traffic this morning.

 

 

Grandad with his trendy Grandson, who only wears really expensive trainers.

 

 

Banana Custard looking fabulous in a grey, drizzly, miserable, Woking this afternoon.

Just seems a rare occurrence that you see a 205 these days, never mind a cabriolet. Don't recall them ever being all that common a spot.

Saw a yellow 205 cabriolet at a barge meet two years ago. I was the only one interested!

At the pumps this morning. E-reg, local and in farm spec

It's done well to last this long really

I went passed a white Rover 416 estate on the M3 yesterday. Couldn't get a pic I was driving.. It was mint and the driver looked like he loved the car more than life itself though..

Go on then, who knows what this is without cheating? I didn't until I saw the back, even the bonnet badge didn't give it away.

Kia?

 

That tail light reminds me of the ones on the Stinger.

Have a dreadful picture of a lovely Granada.

There was a guy walking towards me on the pavement who saw me take the picture and looked at me like I was a mental. Still, hey ho.

Another RHD Audi on Romanian plates:

 

 

... and a RHD 5-series pulling the same trick:

No photos I'm afraid, but last night I spotted a very smart-looking N13 Sunny hatchback outside Hanson's auction premises near Derby, and today I spotted a nice Mk3 Disastra with what appeared to be a Christmas tree made from wire and tinsel stuck to the top of it.

Dying on the Queen,s highway not far from me. a mid 50,s Daimler Regency.it is taxed though. I cannot get the second photo to download the right way up,Help?

[mitsisigma01]

[Bwrlwm]

It has not moved for a while,I could find out if it is for sale.

Just out of interest I did an MOT check on that. It's been stuck on 272,393 miles since 2009 so I have to wonder what sort of astronomical mileage it's actually clocked up by now.

 

Have some stuff I saw today. Farmer's favourite Fourtrak.

Thought this was Six-cylinder's DS at first but it isn't - it's an original RHD UK car.

Mind the Fourtrack van we had through the garage fondly. Thing went like a bloody rocket (which I was not expecting given they're usually seen doing about 30) thanks to seemingly endless reserves of torque. It would also spin the rear wheels up in any gear due to the Chinese Death Rings that were fitted...nothing like unexpectedly finding yourself drifting around the roundabout right outside the police station...

Points for most technologically different cars possible in the same frame?

 

Seeing Teslas out and about very much hasn't got old for me yet, and owning one is very much on my list.  While I'd go for an S by choice on styling terms, I've sat in an X, and the sheer amount of space in one would make it a tough call.  Granted, the arrival of the Model 3 may well shake things up too once I get a look at one...

Hyundai Genesis, a nigh-on £50,000 3.8 V6 Hyundai saloon deleted from the price lists after less than 2 years and 50 sales. 30 years from now they'll be the Lonsdale of today.

You should have come over to Buckingham this morning. There were three of them in the Christmas Parade raising money for charity, including a Model X with those ridiculous gullwing doors open.

when I went for my first ESA Poke-n-prod I was pleased to see a surprising amount of Teslas running around (granted I was in the posher end of London)

 

I also saw a 58 plate G-Wiz, Surprised to see it still on the road I would of expected the batteries to have packed up long ago, one for the Electro-shite thread if there is one

 

as for most technologically different cars, you could go back with the invacar, after all the Lada does have Fancy Electronic FI system

Old workhorse now retired

I was told about this one by someone who knew I run a cavalier. Apparently its been parked up for a long time, and judging by the moss I would agree. The house is a bit run down as well. I did try knocking but didn't get a response.

Another pic exemplifying how crazily large modern cars have become.

I begrudge the Model X that far less than most for two reasons: one, it's not pretending to be a small car. Two, that there is actually a vast amount of room inside.

 

It bothers me far more that the vast majority of cars with that footprint don't actually have much more room to play with inside than most cars 20 years ago. Folks travelling in the Xantia for the first time always seem to be surprised with the passenger room in the back.

 

Okay, I think the 80s era Jag XJ6 was probably the worst offender I've driven for the "huge car, cramped cabin" award. I honestly don't know what they did with all the space...
