As talked about recently on the 'When was the last time you saw a' thread.

I worked for a Ford main dealer van rental department when these were released, my boss was convinced I should have some on fleet, I was convinced I shouldn't, as they were shit! A lot of my customers asked for drop side tippers, which could carry a lot more and be loaded and emptied from three sides as well as the rear. Needless to say I ended up with one...

I spotted this absolute TURD while visiting my mate the other weekend - what a shocker :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Been a while since I last saw one of these in Estate form.

Riley Elf - BFY 338 G I think - driving so couldn't write it down, no camera either.

Mid-green unbadged, looks like a recent paint job although no hint of shine about it.

 

Spotted in Barley Mow, between Chester-Le-Street and Birtley.

Seen this beautiful* Corolla hatch in autoshite colors while visiting my cousin. I cannot believe this was an official color you could buy these in. Those wheel trims only add to the misery.

Had the time of my life up the Aldi just now, it’s my fave spotting ground.

First there’s this, which I’ve posted before, but hadn’t seen it’s seamless repair. I love Millennium edition Fords.

Don’t remember the last time I saw one of these. When I was a kid all the taxis in town where non-cargo ones of these in yellow or blue.

Too big for the camera. I love these and tried to take my parents into one as a teen (I was very cool) They bought a Zafira.

There’s a lot going on here, but that was a lovely Golf.

Haven’t seen a Saxo in ages, let alone a Mk1. Giffer owned, as you might expect.

Lots of little cars, but mostly here for the reasonably early Panda base.

Shite Alley. Think the yellow van was a minor but it pootled off before I could inspect it close up.

I love Up!s. This one looks the absolute dogs.

Finally back in the village I caught this little beauty, best colour for these and with a boot luggage rack too. The winners choice.

This is a bit new for here but was really clean and decidedly unpogweaseled.

And in the same car park.

Took the bus out for a little run today and took these two terrible pictures. Both are already heavily cropped, so zooming in doesn't help.

 

This Volvo 245 was at the lights.

post-20743-0-39347700-1546784311_thumb.jpg

I was stationary at this point I hasten to add. I don't drive the bus and take pictures.

 

But the lights changed before I could switch the phone off so I dropped it back in my pocket. I decided to stop at the next bus stop to switch it off properly as switched on phones in pockets can do strange things.

 

When I did, this went past.

Unfortunately I was too busy faffing to get a proper picture.

More stalking giffers in Supermarkets today, this time a couple of Waitrose in Surrey

The day got off to an unbeatable start.

A very handsome colour scheme on a kinda cool car.

All Vauxhall’s bird shit. Or something.

A great* picture of a CVH Escort that came ticking past me.

 

a5344edb906c82e92a0d6b3754f21db4.jpg

 

Don’t know when I last saw one of these.

A caged beast. I heard it fizzing from 20ft away.

Well, looks like we’ve got ourselves a shite-off. Left or right?

My spot for today on "when did you last see one of those?"

Not a spot, but saw this pic on Facebook and as K-reg and black top bumpered, needed to share. Very lazy spot.

Mk1 Prius's must be future Shite. No idea if these still work as they should or if they just run on petrol all the time.

Well repurposed Volvo funeral limo.

All on my doorstep, thought I recognised the Waitrose car park. Small world.

 

And I know where that red Escort lives near New Haw. Looks like St. Peters there?

It is a small world! Although I don’t live here (although previously lived in Stanwell) I work down here a couple of days a week at St. Peters, that car park is very chod rich! Speaking of...

Seems to be a number of these in this part of Surrey. This was pristine with dealer plates.

Nice spot from this afternoon.

 

post-21985-0-04104000-1547236384_thumb.jpg

 

Definitely has that look of "someone dropped a caravan on the back of a van" this one though...

Three spots from the last few weeks, starting with today's find of a P38 with a numberplate that could easily pay for at least one and a half FTPs if necessary.

Just a red Corsa. In very good condition, too. But just a Corsa.

Best until last; this Proton is absolutely perfect. I've seen it a number of times around the town where I work. If I ever see it with a 'For Sale' sign in the window I'm going to have a genuinely difficult time walking past...
